In the process of creating a game to mod, we will see what it holds.

It likes to arbitrarily load the entire thread from the database when you do certain things as I recall. Don't remember if they fixed that, but it used to create a HUGE server load. A lot of forums would cap threads at like 50-100 pages.

I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing: https://pvplive.net/c/espn-and-riot-gam ... 500-millio

On the one hand, nice to see it continuing to grow and potentially become more "legitimate." And there would be major stakeholders in keeping LoL relevant.

But on the other hand, I pretty much like where it's at right now. ESPN might bring some better interest pieces, more news, etc. but I don't think they'd improve the overall casting product. And I'm not looking forward to paying a cable subscription to watch it if they ink an exclusive deal (which for half a billion makes me believe they would).

Apparently said deal has already fallen through.

Also, Fantasy LCS Changes, which starts May 26th!

Okay. I'm willing to listen to anything, but I think we should use First Two Games as the standard rather than Best Game. For one thing, Best Game STILL benefits NA players over EU players.

I'm fine with either, but it's worth noting that my Fantasy LCS teams were mostly from EU for most of the split, I believe.

Well you don't get to carry over your players from one to the other so... not sure it matters.

My point was moreso that you can get a team of EU players in a best match format that you can expect to do well.

I think you misunderstand. Obviously you can still do that, but because NA players will play more games they have a higher chance of going off in any given week.

Yeah this.

Best 2 is better.
