    must admit im starting to like this game more and more, its not exactly an mmorpg, but still.

    i even watched a few of the matches, and there were some very impressive plays, i hope they introduce some more game modes and maps though :)

    the viewer count was totally inaccurate, they were using a combination of players online in League of Legends + people viewing to get that number, what a lame tactic to make people think it's much better than it really is.

     

    If this is a the new face of e-sports, I'm ashamed to be a pro gamer

     Would you like to back up this statement with proof or possibly even use a single fact in your attack?

     

    Riot did a great job advertising their stream of the championships.  They provided links (not the stream itself) to the main tournament webpage from every one of their webpages and the LoL client itself.  Day 2 topped over 200,000 viewers at one point because of the huge fanbase for this event.

    This is false, the stream is hosted by own3d.tv and what you say didn't happen. The link on the launcher was just a link to the stream.

    edit: originally misread this post.

    Congrats to Riot games for such a great turnout.
