Is this gonna be the general schedule for the whole tourney? I work evenings (US) so this is fantastic.

I expect this to only apply to group stage

 

[Edwardo]

There's just something about Edward Gaming..

 

[NSESN]

Double ate analyst desk lol.

 

[Ghost23]

How can professional LoL players have the mindset that they are just happy to be at Worlds (Cloud 9). No matter the sport or event and no matter how unfavored you are, you should always have the confidence that you are the best, otherwise you'll lose for sure.

 

[idlewild_]

Riot says merch will release at 10 AM eastern. Check store five minutes before that, thresh figure is already sold out. I guess they released them early. Im super bummed out right now

nuuuuuuuuu, dammit. well, at least i can grab that gnar plushie now

 

[Edwardo]

They should turn up the analyst desk's mics. Sounds like they're whispering.

 

[brian!]

I heard bjerg is better than faker now, and that faker plays league by himself in an empty warehouse

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

With OMG not attending, EDG had a strong showing of their jacket game.

Flashwolves also don't look shabby.

The Koreans are a little too much tbh

I really hope Pain pulls some upsets

Yeah, I wish TSM went with the jerseys they wore in their show. The hoodies look dumb

They're probably playing up the storyline. C9 is there as the underdog, the Cinderella story. That's likely the story Riot wants to go with during C9's promotional material.

 

[zkylon]

hype video was better today

they used the song!

Dat prizepool. Ouch

who gives a shit

go flame somewhere else

Hey welcome back b-dubs

Nope, the whole tournament is in Europe afaik, so give or take one hour (London) but the schedule won't change.

I don't know why, but I think them and CLG will pull an upset over Koo. Pain definitely could take games.

I liked the jacket/sort of cardigan thing that TSM used to wear.

 

[brian!]

When c9 wins a game the casters can be like "it looks like they are on cloud 9", and then monte can lean in and be like "literally"

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Damn, SKT changed their cool ass jacket.

 

[Quonny]

So dapper.

 

[Ambition]

Rekkles's new haircut

 

[HORRORSHØW]

manbun rekkles here to play

It's odd for a Known E-Sports Commodity to be the underdog.

Riot have mercy

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Ask of the streams lagging like fuck for me, anyone else having issues?

twitch shit the bed for me. works fine on youtube.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

All of the streams lagging like fuck for me, anyone else having issues?

Not on youtube.

It chugged for a minute on the xbox twitch app like 15 mins ago, but its fine now for me.

Watching on twitch, no issues on my end

Spending time in the hyperbolic time chamber makes your hair grow!

It's odd for a Known E-Sports Commodity to be the underdog.

C9 hasn't been too hot since last World.
They just kinda lost more and more as the year went on.

Oh ok. This means it starts at 1.30pm instead of 4pm here. It's still in the afternoon but yea, it's gonna be different (tougher or easier) for the timezones where it was already borderline (too early or too late).

 

[TharpDaddy]

The meta is also carry tops. Balls is not a strong enough player to carry anymore imo. Incarnati0n and Sneaky are going to have to put on their carry shoes if C9 wants to win any matches.

 

[brian!]

Do you guys think balls will fight jatt, does draftking have the odds on this fight

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

SKT vs H2K is going to be a fantastic storyline but a hilariously one sided match.

 

[Ambition]

Monte cheering for EU. Is the world ending?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

here we go

 

[Edwardo]

Oh man, full FNC picks at the desk.

I have to go with Fnatic, even tho I always liked watching Kakao play back on KT.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

Monte cheering for EU. Is the world ending?

Remember, there are two Koreans.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Balls was Diamond 2, Jatt is Diamond 2. Should be a close fight.

 

[Quonny]

Come on Fnatic.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Oh nice, I can watch OGN's broadcast as well.

I hate that I'm going to have to miss the end of this game because of a math test.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I hate that I'm going to have to miss the end of this game because of a math test.

At least you get to watch some. A lot of us have to miss the whole thing because of work.

 

[Pancakes]

F N A T I C

 

[Leezard]

I just got home in time for this game. The hype begins.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

lol Quickshot already correcting Yamato's analysis.

 

[Quonny]

I will never tire of the Tahm Kench memes.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

Actually, IG's jackets are fly as fuck. Jacket game is strong at Worlds this year.


I forgot they never start games on time, I'll be lucky if I get to see all of pick and bans.
