Interesting tournament. I'm not sure I see WE or c9 challenging Samsung, unfortunately, but I wouldn't necessarily expect Samsung to be as "on" as they were today. Still think it's heading for a Korea vs. Korea final.

Hey, it's super unlikely, but it could happen!

Flyquest and the Cleveland Cavaliers in. Okay then. G2 out, not surprisingly.

Just one spot remaining.

Yankees are investing in Echo Fox.

This franchising thing is BUCK WILD

I was kinda mad about the IMT decision but upon reflection, IMT being the LA-based OWL team kinda put the nail in their coffin

I think it's likely that the financial strain of putting up money for both may have done it (yes, c9 and optic did too but it's not necessarily the case they have the same financials). But as I said earlier, I'm not sure Riot cares much at all about LCS live audiences. Not that they treat them badly and the "crowd" aspect is clearly valuable, but that's not where they're going to get their money from.

It was a good listen and it seems plausible. That doesn't doesn't make me happy about it.

I could see WE conceivably doing so. I don't feel like I can comment on C9 with my NA blinders on, though. Would be nice, though.

Also, I'm kinda happy Lissandra showed up again. I like her playstyle-wise, I think, though I can't afford her yet.

I tuned out after the diverino. Came back 20 minutes later to a misfits lead. Finished the rest. Huni lost his damn mind. Second worst flash of world's so far?

Seriously though LZ losing and SKT not getting better week after week makes this year really feel like the year of not-Korea.

Congrats to RNG on winning Worlds.

RNG is tbh my fave to win now. SKT played game 5 pretty well, but Uzi is looking at how SKT isn't destroying people early and licking his lips
