Guess I'm going on a blackout and watching the VODs for every day because the broadcast times are absolutely fucked for EU viewers. I'm sure this has been discussed before but is there no way to make the times at least semi-reasonable for every region? This is like literally the worst it could possibly be for EU.

League has viewers in every timezone

its not possible to not screw someone over if Worlds is in America

EU has the best time zone for hosting a global event

 

[Son of a Witch]

I honestly think TSM has a good chance to get really far into worlds this year, mainly because of the advantages that Parth can develop for the team. For all the ingenuity and success that the Korean ex-player coaches have brought to the table, like Rox's NoFe or SKT's kkoma, they don't have the same academic background and training to do rigorous analysis that someone like Parth has, having done his masters in a STEM field. With the competitive game now having progressed to the point where good team strategy and execution can dominate individual mechanical displays of skill, Parth's deeper and stronger analysis of the game could prove to be a decisive advantage.

Is this the ultimate TSM fanpost?

 

[NSESN]

I think i will watch the first 3/4 matches and go to sleep
The other 3/2 i will watxh tomorrow before the other matches

 

[thestopsign]

Worlds day! I'm really excited for the first match up between CLG and G2. I think it will pretty much decide who gets 2nd in Group A from the get go.

Such a hype video they did last year. Everything they have did so far has been meh for this years worlds,

 

[Fracas]

I am so damn excited for today. I don't think there's a clear favorite like last year. Any of the top few teams could take it home.

NA is going to be interesting. TSM's looking dominant and C9 peaked at the right time. CLG isn't expected to do much but I wouldn't be shocked if they made a splash.

 

[zkylon]

here's hoping no crunch time today and i can get to watch the ceremony

 

[Calvero]

It says top laner focus. There are many of those, including peanut day 1

it's a joke...

 

[clemenx]

This tease is fucking awesome. Hyped.

Funny how everyone's like "this is such a big opportunity" and then there's Faker saying "I'm used to victories."

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Really hope all NA teams make it out of groups at least.

Every worlds are only for 4 regions, 2 regions are always left out

 

[Hydrophobic]

Really hope all NA teams make it out of groups at least.

CLG looks least likely to do it based on the strength of their group, but it's certainly not impossible.

 

[Setsuna]

I forgot all about Shushei.

Went from League of legends champion to streaming on Hitbox to 50 viewers

 

[Hydrophobic]

I totally missed earlier in the thread that they're going to have streams for focusing on roles, or just fog of war. Those were so good during the NA regular season I'm real excited to watch them during worlds.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I forgot all about Shushei.

Went from League of legends champion to streaming on Hitbox to 50 viewers

He used to be big on Twitch

Then he went to Hitbox and streams only in polish lol

 

[Envelope]

Just 3 hours left

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Yeah I'm definitely seeing Rox and G2 making it out, but would be nice if CLG could pull an upset.

 

[thestopsign]

Yeah I'm definitely seeing Rox and G2 making it out, but would be nice if CLG could pull an upset.

I've never been super impressed with G2 when I watch their games. I don't see what the hype is about yet. I could definitely be wrong though. I give them a 60-40 chance of beating out CLG.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

The best thing to come from G2 vs CLG will be the Huhi and Perkz memes that will happen.

 

[killatopak]

1 more hour.

 

[Ashhong]

Never realized faker is 2-2 in worlds. Hope he makes it 3 this year. I'm going to be crushed if Rox is the one to beat them

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Never realized faker is 2-2 in worlds. Hope he makes it 3 this year. I'm going to be crushed if Rox is the one to beat them

Smeb: "It's an opportunity to be the best in the World"
"I must seize it"

Easily the best part of the teaser, hype!

 

[killatopak]

I'm not that much hyped for SKT compared to last year cause Marin is gone.

I'm kinda torn between them and Rox though simply because of Smeb.

I'm a top lane player so...

 

[PhillipCostigan]

I bought all of the Worlds merch. My wallet... it's crying.

30 MINS TIL OPENING CEREMONY LETS GO

[Stone Ocean]

I'm torn. I want CLG to choke but I also want EU to choke

Do I cheer for a clown fiesta?

 

[Kalentan]

C9!!!! I'm rooting for ya guys!

 

[Talents]

That crowd is pathetic at cheering.

 

[thestopsign]

That crowd is pathetic at cheering.

How the nice are setup is normally important. Plus TSM just blew the roof off lol

 

[Primethius]

Hope TSM loses just cause of that crowd.

 

[Quonny]

[Xamtheking]

Come cheer in this little Discord, the more the merrier!

 

[clemenx]

Lol TSM chants were a given.

 

[Twookie]

wait, when did meteos join the mainsquad of c9? didnt he quit/leave the squad?

either way happy to see him on the stage again

go c9

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Shocking a TSM chant , wouldn't have thought it would happen in Baylife

 

[Stone Ocean]

wait, when did meteos join the mainsquad of c9? didnt he quit/leave the squad?

either way happy to see him on the stage again

go c9

He's been the jungler ever since they got Impact because they couldn't afford to have both Rush and Impact on the team.

 

[WaterAstro]

Boring without Monte or DoA.

Skip.
