You heard him. About a day later than I expected, but it came at last.

I'm pleased that Lissandra did appear today and win. Saw xPeke play it on KR solo queue for weeks.

Saw in 4.17 patch notes that ranked decay no longer applies to silver and gold. Lot of people will be relieved about that one.

Wait she's seriously being nerfed?

'Ranked decay'? I took a moment to look that up, and frankly it's a concept that should never have existed in the first place. After all, with so many folks putting in stick time, it seems sensible that you're going to get passed over quite naturally should you be out of town for a bit.

It's to ensure those at higher levels keep playing to maintain their rank. Challenger and Master naturally replensih/change but below that, people parked in S3 due to the can't fall thing they did in S3.

Hmm, imagine the ultimate Riot nightmare scenario for tomorrow: we get a 4-way tie for group C AND a 3-way tie for group D, which means 6 or 8 more games to be played immediately after the day is done. Would be amusing for nothing else but watching the endurance test by players/casters/analyst desk, see how many end up asleep on camera/in-game.

That's the part I don't quite get... if you're out of town, as it were, it seems quite plausible that one of those other players will end up bumping you out of that rank quite on their own. With such a prospect posing an excellent motivation to keep your hand in, it seems that 'rank decay' is redundant. Is such a thing extant anywhere else?

Last Sinner · 2014-09-28, 04:20

Now THAT is the upset of the whole tournament!

Kabum beat Alliance!!

Wow Alliance...perfect shutout of Najin White Shield and then get smashed by a wildcard. Cloud 9 just got handed a major lifeline for Group D. If they can beat Shield, they're through. Lose, they play a tiebreaker with Alliance.

Froggen was way off...diving with half his team too far away then getting caught. Wickd was hapless without Irelia. Nyph was pick bait.

But props to Kabum. They earned this - outdrafted and outplayed.

Group C got even tighter - 3 teams on 2-3. LMQ are tilting hard. At least one team is getting to 3-3 out of that OMG vs LMQ match - momentum suggests OMG but with these groups...who knows...Everything is on Fnatic to win against Samsung Blue. Perhaps too much to ask them to beat them twice, but....at their best, Fnatic can pull it off.

Kreceir · 2014-09-28, 04:33

HOLY SHIT
One of the biggest upset so far in this Group.

Crumbz the Prophet, Predicted that Kabum would atleast win one game.

Man Group C & D has been entertaining so far.

Last Sinner · 2014-09-28, 05:35

Fairly tense match between Blue and Fnatic, but it is as it should be. Blue prevail and Fnatic are out. Winner of LMQ vs OMG will take the other spot of C.

Much better performance from Deft - Corki seems to be shaping as Tristana's kryptonite for worlds. Dade and xPeke had an entertaining standoff but Dade eventually got the upper hand.

Time for Cloud 9 to have their fate in their hands. Or will the stumbles at the last hurdle hit another team.

Last Sinner · 2014-09-28, 07:05

And C9 do beat Najin White Shield. C9 beat a Korean team before TSM does and have to play Shield again to split their tie. Alliance are out.

To really rub the pain in, if LMQ fix their problems and beat OMG, every NA team will get through and no EU team will have.

C9, I know I hated on you so much during season 3 because you were such a hype train.
But I want to put my faith in you.

YEEEESS
C9

Literally my entire reaction on skype during that game between NWS and C9. Time to wait for the LMQ vs OMG.

Edit: I've instantly lost faith in Crumbz being the prophet.

Last Sinner · 2014-09-28, 08:03

OMG made it. Thus all the Chinese/LPL teams get through. Ackerman was just not able to adjust to any top laner that was top tier at worlds. Left LMQ lacking.

Time for this C9 - Shield tiebreaker to bring groups stage to end.

3 Korenan, 3 Chinese and 2 NA make it to the 8. EU shoot blanks.

Interesting comment by Cool from OMG - 'We want to face Najin White Shield.'

Now we get a year of NA fanboys calling EU the worst region in the world (aside from SEA and other minor regions) as revenge for EU calling NA the worst region in the world for 2 years

The revenge has begun.

A little disappointed in that match between LMQ and OMG. But OMG has some interesting plans, although could really backfire on them if countered.

Last Sinner · 2014-09-28, 08:20

Oh boy...All the Chinese teams are in the south side of the brackers for the finals. Both Samsungs are in the north and destined to meet in the semis.

Hooves · 2014-09-28, 09:09

This game is way too intense for me!

Eragon · 2014-09-28, 09:14

There is kind of satisfaction when you see rats lose, regardless whether it is dota or league

Them Zed plays were like wow

Awrya · 2014-09-28, 09:20

NWS vs C9, that was an intense, close match.
I don't know much about LoL, but this kind of match makes me want to give it a try.

Last Sinner · 2014-09-28, 09:21

Valiant effort by Cloud 9 with the split push coming perilously close to expose the nexus. But Ggoong played a brilliant game on Zed - Hai was utterly destroyed that game. Save was also a clinic on Kassadin. Najin White Shield knew an annoying split push was coming and had the stuff to deal with it - albeit it being close. I daresay since they expected this tactic again, they were ready for it this time.

So the quarters will be:

Samsung White vs Team Solo Mid
Samsung Blue vs Cloud 9

Edward Gaming vs Royal Club
Najin White Shield vs OMG

NA just about got a death sentence. Both the Samsungs as opponents is as brutal as it could get. If they could take a game, it would be a fair effort, really.

Korea v China grand final happening again looking likely, although Shield could run the gauntlet again on the south side.

Eragon · 2014-09-28, 09:27

I feel like if Insec doesn't get either of Rengar or Lee Sin, SHR are in real trouble. He hasn't looked good on Kha at all.
