Yeah thats probably one of the only problems with that form of a solution. Maybe lower the chance of the same dragon spawning multiple times in a row? I cant even remember now it used to be 4 regular dragons and then the 5th and then it became the 4 elemental system we have now right?

Or make it to where only one of each spawns each game in random order and elder gives you what 3 stacks would give you of each dragon you took on top of its own buff. Drastically raises the importance of dragon regardless of what it is and makes trading for rift a long-term sacrifice.

Is that not what we originally had?

I honestly don't remember. I don't think so though? The old 4+5th dragon was just a ad/ap buff that stacked and 5th gave the burn but it wasn't elemental iirc.

I thought the first elemental dragon release was like that. Maybe not though

Q. You mean to say that the quality of participants has increased compared to last year. Do you have any particular participant or player in mind?

Hirai (Longzhu Gaming coach): Although we didn’t compete against all teams, TSM visits South Korea for off-season training every year and we often practise together. And I feel that TSM became much more solid. I realized why they are the best in the NA region. It feels as if the gap is closing every year, and the gap between LCK and other leagues became much narrower than before this year. We shouldn’t make a mistake in the match.


In truth, we didn’t think much about it until the groups were organized. Then, we thought that it was such a relief not being in the same group as TSM. There’s not only Bjergsen, who is always praised for his skills, but Hauntzer is pretty amazing too, and Doublelift has phenomenal damage dealing skill in both the laning phase and teamfights. Biofrost and Svenskeren are also excellent. I was surprised to see the 10k gold difference in the NA Finals. It seems like their 2nd hayday. TSM is one of the teams that we are looking out for the most.



quote:


EDGAR (Samsung Galaxy coach): All three Chinese teams are strong. And TSM’s performance would surely threaten Korean teams. The Chinese have their homeground advantage, which is quite scary too. To add more on TSM, I think they would never fail from the round of 16 this year. In terms of players, Uzi, and Zven from G2 stand out in my mind.


quote:

Q. Speaking of fun to watch, we forget about the matches of the NA and EU. Who do you think is the strongest out of all NA and EU participants?


EDGAR: TSM in NA. No doubt.


Hirai: To be honest, they are somewhat superior to G2.


EDGAR: G2 is the team with surprises, after all.


Hirai: It’s true that G2 is not doing that well in global leagues, but they’re not showing their full potential right now. Even so, I still think TSM is stronger.


Two coaches voted for the NA. What about you, cCarter?


EDGAR: That’s only for the No. 1 spot.


cCarter (SKT coach): Objectively speaking, TSM. It has to be TSM. I can almost assure it. TSM’s potential is gradually surpassing other NA and EU teams. Comparisons to G2 aside, TSM is on top of the other 5 participants from the NA and EU. They are no less skilled than any of the best Korean or Chinese teams.


Hirai: Hauntzer nails it all the time. You instantly realize why he’s the best top player in NA. His plays just give me chills everytime I watch. The jungler’s movement is also impeccable, making me wonder how the coach makes a call for his move. Bjergsen is by far the best without a doubt. Doublelift is also excellent in teamfights, and I’ve been watching Biofrost since before he joined the team, and he has improved so much.

Typical korean humility. Let tsm get a big head, only to crush them later.

RIP C9, good try good effort. Maybe EDG will shite the bed again. No excuse for TSM or IMT to not get out of groups, IMT with the easiest road.

Discussing this with a friend yesterday - Does the play-in stage help you get warmed up for the main event? Or does the few weeks rest come in to play?

C9 and WE have looked really good in the play in, does that give you momentum?

I dont think it makes any difference. Maybe based on patch play but I dont think this worlds patch is much different than what they played on during the split finals. Seems like alot of the stronger picks are still stronger picks even after nerfs.

Really curious why they decided to host games at 10PM for Play-in Knockouts but dont start until 2AM for Group Stages. Luckily TSM has the earliest games possible two of the days.

Don't underestimate Gigabyte Marines. Wouldn't shock me at all if they came out in 2nd in that group.

Riot effectively killing any shot NA had at catching up. NA goes back to practicing Bo1 fiestas for two splits out of a season again. Yay.

Feedback showed us that fans preferred watching more content across multiple teams than tuning in selectively for matches specifically of one team.


Im just not sure where they found this to be true. I guess the hardcore fan is less than the casual fan but I would still wager the casual fan would prefer to watch a TSM vs C9 series than say a P1 vs anybody series
