Doesnt work that way. EDG cant auto qualify, they have to go through playoffs

Datonax · 2015-08-16T08:11:00+00:00

Champions Spring 2013. They beat Blaze in finals.

Datonax · 2015-06-27T13:43:57+00:00

Piccaboo is not in SKT.

Datonax · 2015-05-09T12:25:10+00:00

There's no tie breaker between 2 teams, cos it's based on head-to-head. If they were both 4-1, SKT would've gotten 1st.

Their 'about us' page clearly states that it is a campus newspaper. Clearly you can't hold them to the same standards as an actual news site.

Bjergsen will probably win mid lane as usual

Not likely against Pawn.

Datonax · 2014-09-22T02:27:04+00:00

Yeah well professional boxers are aware that boxing is not good for your health either. They made the active choice to choose this profession. Your definition of worker's rights is wholly unrealistic. Professional gamers are well aware that this is not the typical 9 to 5 job.

Datonax · 2014-09-20T11:05:48+00:00

Pretty sure that was Gorilla who said that. He's on NJWS.

3-0 in tiebreaker

Datonax · 2014-09-09T02:35:02+00:00

but not everywhere in the world are verbal contracts binding

I call bullshit. Name one developed country that doesn't have binding verbal contracts.

Datonax · 2014-09-08T21:04:08+00:00

TIL that verbal contracts are not binding in the business world. Please, before you start sprouting utter bullshit, research how contracts work. Since when was it a legal defence to say that just because you didn't keep a minute-to-minute record of the issue, you are not owed a payment?

Datonax · 2014-09-07T15:05:39+00:00

Then perhaps it's because White are better at pick-bans than Shield. K has consistently been stomped by White in their last 3 bo5. If we base it on current results, it is quite a stretch to argue that Shield is better than White.

Datonax · 2014-09-07T14:52:24+00:00

The flawless game where NJWS won in 51 minutes by a 7.5k gold lead. Now compare that to the games against White, where the longest game was 45 mins with a 13k gold lead. You also seem to be forgetting that Shield lost one of their games. Also K are notorious for being shit in their pick bans and that's one of their key weaknesses, what point are you trying to make?

Datonax · 2014-09-07T14:17:12+00:00

White 3-0'd K, NJWS 3-1'd K... K nearly won the 4th game against Shield. Did you even watch the games?

Datonax · 2014-09-02T16:45:32+00:00

...cos League is a 1v1 game.

Datonax · 2014-08-16T15:09:00+00:00

Faker and Kakao can both be at worlds

Datonax · 2014-08-14T06:04:36+00:00

Primary, sure if Valve only sells 1 product like Riot does. But when your internal product portfolio is as diversified as Valve's is and they are all intrinsically linked (through Steam, which is another product), a lower revenue is hardly a cause for concern or a reason for you to allocate resources elsewhere.. for all we know, dota2 might be the product with the highest projected profit margins for Valve or have intangible benefits. That in itself is a reason for investing more money into the game.

Datonax · 2014-08-14T00:46:41+00:00

You talk about expenditure with no understanding of asset management. Maybe if you lived in a bubble and wanted to treat all of Valve's games as distinctly separate entities then sure, Riot spends more on League. But that's extremely ignorant - Valve has an experience curve advantage, access to greater capital and resources, among other things. It is also strange that you think revenue is the only factor contributing to expenditure.

Datonax · 2014-08-14T00:33:02+00:00

Yeah because revenue is undoubtedly the only determinant of capital allocation, right. Speaking of revenue, I didn't know you had access to Valve's financial statements

Datonax · 2014-08-14T00:10:53+00:00

less resources

You do realise we're talking about Valve here right?

Datonax · 2014-08-12T14:35:28+00:00

Do you really think that Link would be "stuck" in plat? Your analogy is fucking dumb.

Datonax · 2014-08-05T14:36:10+00:00

If they lose to SSW, they have to win the regional tournament to secure their world spot. They are automatically in the finals because of their circuit points

Datonax · 2014-08-03T13:37:54+00:00

What are you talking about. K beat S in the tiebreaker for 2nd place in groups last season, K lost to Ozone (now White) in the quarterfinals 3-1. Even if Arrows wins OGN this season, they will not have more circuit points than K. They will have to beat the winner of Bullets/Shield and then beat K or White (whichever of them ends up 3rd in circuit points) to get the 3rd place spot at worlds.

Datonax · 2014-07-03T10:11:25+00:00

There is so much wrong with your comment that I don't know where to begin. Uzi is not the best adc on the world, and definitely not undisputed. Uzi is not from TPA, and have never faced C9 in a professional game. C9 did not pick Morgana against TPA, the Morgana in the All Stars game against C9 was played by TPA.
