It's good you communicate Riot, thanks. And I know you're gonna learn from these mistakes and get better. It's not rocket science though to know to not hang minimap screens where players can see them, it's common sense.

About the whole cheating thing, you can't turn your head away from this one. You (will) know if they cheated or not but if they did, I think those matches need to be replayed. Normally in any other professional scene it would be disqualification, however you made a big mistake yourself by placing the screens there in the first place.

Problems aside, you guys did great days 1 & 2. Thank you for keeping us posted on the situation and what happened-that's all the majority of us need, is a full and honest account of what went wrong

This is the red post that was needed. Thanks for posting this, Redbeard.

Still annoyed about the whole situation, as I bet you guys are, but I feel like Riot's being upfront and candid about the situation rather than . . . ahem . . . brushing it under the rug.

Here, have a picture of Ziggs eating waffles and trying to fix the connectivity and stage issues with the World Finals.

Just throwing this out there dyrus admitted to looking up at the mini map after eh thought azubu frost did so wheres that in this post lol

Everyone saying : "Well, just have soundproof booth next time !"

I bet you guys are the first that started the drama in the past tournament that had them and some player said they could hear the commentator still, or that it was cold, or had annoying noise. Like the one at MLG that was a complete failure.

No, it is not as simple as : Hey Riot, you should have soundproof booth herpyderp. They tried it in the past, both player and the dramaqueen, like so many people in this thread were whinning about it.

About the ping... if you ever played the game, you know that "blind ping" happen so much often. If you watched ANY high elo stream or pass tournament, even this one, a lot of people ping at the start of the game because invade is mostly what is going to happen and if you aren't stupid, you would have learn that TSM often invade from top. They just made their work and studied them before the game.

About people looking right and left. Are you guys real ? Do you think people need to be robot and watch their screen all the time ? They can't even stretch ? You guys talk about so much about the angle of a screenshot. Have you actually been on stage and tried to watch at the mini-map ? You know how "turned" the head need to be to actually see the map ? No you don't. EVERY SINGLE PERSON that accused a team of cheating is only based on clueless speculation.

GD is a shame to eSports, this community is what make us looks bad, not Riot itself.. Picking pitchfork and thinking they have any right over Riot or the tournament or any team itself. And all that, based on pure speculation and no one have no idea what they are talking about. It's sad.

Post for great justice?

Owait Redbeard just gonna ignore this.

Yes, these exact images can be found on your official riot twitch stream replay before anyone goes throwing out the word "shop"

I thought the headsets were soundproof. How can you hear the crowd or vuvuzela?

Also, no addressing the "infamous" ping. Instead lets joke around and not answer the real questions plaguing the event.

Riot, this is the kind of stuff that gets you an F rating at the Better Business Bureau...

redbeard, here is my question, so when you guys designed the stage, you FULL HEARTIDLY believed that people cant peak at the other teams minimap? The fact that you guys let this one slip is just outragous..
