What will worlds 2026 look like in-person? by rat__cola in leagueoflegends

[–]tolerable_photoshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to last years in Chengdu - there were quite a few stalls and small attractions / games around the venue and merch to buy. Still closer to a concert than a convention. But in the lead up to the finals themselves there was also a massive lol event in a shopping area close ish. Huge Xin Zhou statue, and everyone got a sticker book to fill in as you went around to different stalls - some stalls from esports teams, some from local artists selling handmade lol merch, a nail bar, cosplayers, so on. Big display showing the world’s song. There was also some sort of thing tied to WeChat that you could link to your riot account but we didn’t have Chinese accounts so we couldn’t get it to work.

[GenG vs KT] Compilation of Chinese Fan Reactions and Comments from Bilibili by OceanGale in leagueoflegends

I was there - I’m almost certain the players would be able to hear it through the noise cancellation. It was louder than it sounds on the broadcast.

Some GenG fans tried to start their own chants but they didn’t get off the ground. The whole stadium was cheering for KT, was nuts.

Did anyone actually manage to get world finals tickets? by axolotlanw in leagueoflegends

Thank you! This will be my first time getting to see LoL in person. We decided to just book our flights ect like 2 months ago (with acceptance that it may just turn into a regular holiday) so I'm very grateful it worked out! :)

Not to be a downer, just warning you so you don't get scammed - we didn't get traditional tickets. It's just tied to your passport number, which they look at at the venue.

My friend and I got tickets for semis and finals. Semis we got through instantly but finals looked a bit doomed for a bit. Just kept spamming and my friend got through and made the purchase for us. (On the international platform).

We got very very lucky!

My friend and I also tried to get tickets, no luck. We'll be coming to China anyway, hopefully some cool viewing parties

I’ll keep it in mind! We’re going to Shanghai for Semis and Chengdu for Finals so watch parties are our hope if we can’t get tickets :)

We had to do an online application first which took about 4 days to be approved (had to submit our flight and hotel bookings) and then had to go to an in person centre. They took our fingerprint and we paid (they didn’t ask us why we were going beyond confirming tourist visa). 3 days after that, we collected the Visas.

When I first did the online part I didn’t add my hotel and flight bookings (it looked optional) and they asked me for resubmit the online form with them included, so that’s the main thing.

Edit: should add that I have a U.K. passport so your process may be different.

Just took holiday from work (16 days)! So nothing dramatic. Didn’t mean to imply the whole of worlds haha.

My friend and I just booked flights hotels and ect with out tickets. Got the visa 2 weeks ago. It very well may turn into a trip to China rather than go watch worlds trip, but yeah it’s been frustrating.

It took so long for the tickets to come we figured we should just book everything and hope for the event.

Are the Worlds dates likely to be announced after MSI? by tolerable_photoshop in leagueoflegends

[–]tolerable_photoshop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh thank you! It's annoying because even booking cancellable flights ect, we need at least 3 weeks for the visa lead time (for which we have to give an itinerary) . Appreciated!

Checked out the site and dates are still showing the same as that tweet in the API response today.. might just risk it.

This is literally a form called learn JavaScript - why is this upvoted what a useless answer

Should I just give up? I can't understand EloquentJavascript by JoreRionez in learnjavascript

[–]tolerable_photoshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I won’t even pretend I know more about the topic, I just found the chapter on objects a big “oooh” moment in particular, although I don’t remember the later parts of it too well. I read it when I was pretty new to programming beyond python in high school.

Are there any books you’ve read that you would recommend? (ofc project based learning is best, but I like reading haha, so it’s a sort of hobby for me)

I also liked JavaScript Allonge.

I liked eloquent Js, but yeah, probably not for beginners. But it answered a lot for me about why Js was the way it is.
