League of Legends World Championships Thread (EXPECT SPOILERS)

If anyone lives in the Dallas area, I am having a small viewing party at my house~ I have a projector and pizza!

Where did it say that? You just made me scared.

I meant they changed it from 10:30 pm to 8 pm. That was the time posted yesterday in LolEsports.

Anyone in Ithaca I'm also having a smallish viewing party in a lecture hall.

Edit: And it was always at 8 PST. It was like that 2 weeks ago.

Hopefully attendees of the world finals get it for free just like last year.

Looks like they will but it's a legacy skin.

Hopefully attendees of the world finals get it for free just like last year.

I'm rather upset at this though.

We are moving away from creating new Limited Edition skins because in the long run they create disappointment for too many players. Championship Thresh is Legacy which means he can return in the future.

...

Victorious Elise will be the only new Limited Edition skin this year. There are other types of content much more suited to exclusivity (ward skins, icons, etc.) because they are not limited to one champion. Limited edition skins suck for everyone who ever mains that champion in the future.

 Winner of LoL Season 3 World Championships

SK Telecom T1 won 3-0 against Royal Club and taking the Season 3 World Championships!

GGWP. (And GG Koreans too stronk) That clean sweep

SKT1 just outplayed so freaking hard. Complete domination

Reeeeeeeeeeeally disappointing. I was hoping way too much out of this match. Uzi didn't or just couldn't do anything at all. Heck by the 3rd match he was losing to piglet behind his own tower. And one would think a professional team like Royal has more than Renekton to play on top, but every champ they tried on that line seemed like no more than experiments. I still wish Fnatic would have made it here, I'm sure they'd have done better, at least in the teamfights,

I'm rather upset at this though.

They are right though. Anyone joining the game or getting the champ, time after the skin has been taken away is screwed for not being able to ever get it (like me and Safary Caitlyn D. A solution would be constantly adding limited time skins so even if you don't get a previous one you can get the next one to come to your champ, that'd help in making every player's champs more unique, but who knows? maybe its costs would be too big to profit properly or something.

Just came home from the championships. I'll upload what I have from attending the place and etc.

Whoever hosted a gathering or attended one, how was your experience?

 Experience

So we had to wait outside for a long time since we arrived at 4-ish. When we got here, there was already a bunch of people waiting for something. Being the curious person I am, I look and find out there's a merchandise store. It probably took 30 minutes for me to walk at least 2 yards before getting to the front.

There were also Rioters giving away codes, either by just asking them or by answering their questions.

Besides what positively happened, only thing I can complain was that there was this person in front of me who shouted super loud. Annoyed me the most when he said "Hey, I came here to watch games, not to bore to sleep!" when they were commentating.

Well.... that was disappointing. I didn't care who won, but the semi-finals were overall just way more entertaining.

Gave away this signed poster by everyone at the event with their summoner name... well, almost everyone:


With friends:

Event was awesome! Around 200 people showed up. It was crowded, but worth it!

So now that the winning team used certain champions, can we expect

I was part of the 3-0 crowd.
Sad that we couldn't see more.
