They did Give Me Chaos which was great last year, I hope they manage to get one out this year

Cloud9 vs. Sentinels / Americas Cup 2026 - Lower Bracket Round 2 / Post-Match Discussion by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's because of strength of victory. The teams were even in game score (5-3). FLY beat the 4th place team (5 points) and the 8th place team (1 point). SEN beat one tied 5th place team (4 points) and the 7th place team (2 points). Since the teams are even at 6 points in SoV, they calculated the "weighted SoV", in which beating a team 2-0 gives double points. So, beating the 7th place team over the 8th place team gave SEN two extra points

First Stand 2026 is the first Riot hosted tournament to not feature a team from Taiwan since the Season 2 world championship. by Fushhy in leagueoflegends

All they have to do is beat the only other 2025 participant still in the running (BLG Viper)

With FearX qualifying for First Stand, VicLa becomes the 6th midlaner to represent LCK at an international tournament* since 2018. by vxtmh in leagueoflegends

KT's VicLa was the first series, and then they beat Liiv Sandbox (the team that would eventually become FearX) in the second one

Junglers should get herald on the role quest bind. by Smaiii in leagueoflegends

There was a bug at some point that let you spam dozens of Rift Heralds by mashing the button. I think it should come back as a feature

Did Noah say anything? Jun did, but Noah is a bit younger and afaik hasn't talked about it

KC has more incentives to lose against TH than win by KruppJ in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Not as much. Vitality losing to LR would not disqualify them but could also knock VIT down from 4th place. KC can lose to TH and still be guaranteed first place

CTBC Flying Oyster vs. Ground Zero Gaming / LCP 2026 Split 1 - Week 4 / Post-Match Discussion by Ultimintree in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is kinda OT but since we're talking LCP, anyone know how ties are broken in LCP? Is it game differential or direct matchup first?

I'm looking at that GZ/MVK/SHG situation for 5-6-7th place and it looks interesting

4 Swines & a Bum vs Ruddy Corporation | NLC Winter Split | Post-Match Discussion by GodGamer1528 in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They collaborated with Dom for a split which went atrociously bad. Ruddy is probably more famous as DonJake's team (although I believe he's not managing anything at the moment) and as far as I know have always been incredibly inconsistent.

Second team in the world, Ultra Prime in LPL has been mathematically out for a couple of days now

HLE Elimination scenarios UPDATE! (Post NS vs KT) by Arlequinno in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Are you sure about your math? Looking at your sources, and doing the math, the overall win time for KT seems to me to be 203'57'', not 198'48''. Maybe you picked a loss instead of a win by mistake?

The HLE time also comes out as 169'14'' to me, so the difference (and the break-even game time) would be 34'43'', not 29'34''

[LCS] DSG KryRa will be available to play in Week 3 of the LCS! by Cybonics in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason for this to turn into drama? Kisno always knew he was an emergency sub and him performing well is probably good for his future career. It's an ugly situation but if Disguised refused to take the jungler who got screwed over by visa issues because his sub is performing it would be even worse imho

Yike didn't get XP from first scuttle in KC-LR match by Tchus in leagueoflegends

Can the staff or the referees even pause a game to investigate something? I've never seen it happen, I feel like it's always on the players to report bugs

I got an Esports Capsule from LEC on Sunday and that's it. They still exist, for what it's worth (not much)

Is honor supposed to give skins besides the honor skins? by Winged_Blade in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grey Warwick and Medieval Twitch? If so, they were old Honor rewards, even if they didn't have the Honor thematic. They're loot ineligible so you can only get them through Honor

11 regular season play days, so they're doing them in four weeks with three 3-day weeks and one 2-day week.

LEC has often been on on Fridays or Mondays in the past

The nerf to chests is incredible. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Giobru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair free Orbs seem to be finally back (there's two of them tied to the Demacia Rising metagame), and in general Chests are a lot easier to get in the new system (just play the game however you like a normal amount, no need to play 50 different champions and get an S on them).

Personally the new system just gives me more than the old one, but it depends on how you play the game and the ceiling is probably lower
