Riot's Respected eSports Organizers

[Anon12356]

"The funny thing is that it wasn't even sketchiness. TSM/EG did plan to throw but the truth was never publicly announced. I never brought the confession to light. People do ruthless things when it comes to competition, even EG isn't above it.

Dan Dinh, Salce, Dyrus all those people everyone claims to have unlimited respect for." -HotshotGG 31/10/2011

OHHHHHH SHIT

Also: scumbag jatt, fire matt!

[SmokieWins]

CDE/Dignitas drama is even more horrible than this and of course AGAIN because of Matt Bitchface Marcou.

Of course he won't do anything about it no matter how much anyone complains, because he's a scumbag that cares more about "not looking bad" than legitimacy. I've never had much respect for Riot (they pull way too much shit for that) this just confirms it once again.

[Rolled1990]

Scummbag Matt and Scumbag Jatt should form a team

[TheSeriouslyCasual]

I'm surprised this video isn't getting more views after what happened between CDE and Dignitas.

[ChaosEn3]

@starcraft2own I'm a gamer, don't get me wrong. But there's no way fucking playing video games is a sport.

[Rolled1990]

@ChaosEn3 Definition of "Sport"

An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.

All of that applies to "Esports", so how are they not a sport?

[ChaosEn3]

I love how they call it eSports, playing LoL is not a sport :/

[starcraft2own]

@ChaosEn3 eSports stand for Electronic sports... and gaming is a sport and LoL is a game so yeah it is a sport

[SoulDevoured]

Listening to the Trololol song always puts a smile on my face... Especially when someones talking about riot. Everyone knows theyre massive trolls.

[fyreba113r]

I lolled

[E1see]

Someone doesn't get how seeding works.

[agyrex]

EG and TSM are like brother clans like many of the EG members are EX TSM players, an example of that is dan dinh since he is actually reginalds younger brother.

its funny that if clg whould lose to RS and not get to dreamhack, phreak my have lost his job.

[Dungeonchicken]

@agyrex

u know that the qualifications are finished, and the tornament had already started

[Korne333]

I just read the description... why would EG throw a game at Dreamhack? The point of throwing the first game against TSM was to ensure both teams made it (TSM would roll over the rest of the their bracket, while EG would have to beat Rock Solid in the lower bracket finals to get to dreamhack, which EG has had some success against RS lately).

[GoodOldN1ghty]

@Korne333

TSM and EG are kinda related.

read the HSGG thread you will understand it

[Korne333]

@GoodOldN1ghty I know they are, and that's why the rumors of the thrown matches started (so both Solomid teams would have easy roads to Dreamhack), but now that they are both at Dreamhack, they will be competing for money. There is no reason they would throw a match, since that would earn the team less money. Not to mention if they meet, it will be later in the tournament (they will be on opposite sides of the bracket).

[GoodOldN1ghty]

@Korne333 if EG know TSM is superior to EG

and they maybe lose against CLG or any other topteam for sure.

than they will throw so TSM can beat

if theyre place 3 and TSM place 1

its better tahn if theyre place 2 and TSM place 3

just my opponion

[Korne333]

This is funny, but it is moot now. All 3 teams that were apart of this controversy are in dreamhack, and all got great compitition from one another.

Let's just say this is better than what happened to SK Gaming, who threw their match in the first day to beat the easy Fanatic... then losing and getting kicked out of the tourny.

[xxBlackpspxx]

i read description now 10 times and dont really get it.................... so they made TSM play against those whale guys who are easy to beat so that tsm will also go to dreamhack and made it so that clg fighted against epic game which are harder to do so that in end TSM fight egainst epic game???? aaaaand whats so bad about this now? dont get it how this is trolling someone or anything.... no matter how they change it, only the best one wins so wats this all about?!?!?!?

[Nguyenbbboy]

@xxBlackpspxx the seed arrangement was based on how many points each team makes, clg was suppose to have the easiest way but were forced to still work harder than tsm which might of cost them the entry to dreamhack

[Daedelous2k]

Hi HoN reds, enjoying being total twats on your forums? It's no wonder the Vidya boards always have a LoL thread while HoN is just a pitiful troll.

Enjoy your fail.

[aussiebirdie]

hon staff's using this video to bash players moving to lol :(

[somesoup94]

@aussiebirdie

Doesn't matter, HoN is still the worst game ever made, Horrible Community,

Horrible staff (JohnnyUtah, you are a fucking piece of shit, your fucking dumbass

father's condom must have broken when he was fucking the slut that is your mother.)

Thank God DoTA 2 is coming soon to wipe that piece of shit called HoN

off the MOBA gaming scene.

[Ryodakun]

@somesoup94 Implying LoL's community is any better :D

[TheJikou]

@Ryodakun I'm pretty sure its not, but using this vid is fucking disgusting in my opinion.

[xxBlackpspxx]

@somesoup94 really? i heard different... that on HoN everyone is nice. I know from lol that there is much flaming. every 2nd game i get flamed to death

[xxBlackpspxx]

@aussiebirdie yes, and i dont even get how this is supposed to bash anyone who wants to play lol. I mean i dont get it..... whats bad about this video? dont understand it please someone explain

[bluey1695]

i lol'd

[dcsroc1]

CLG got shit on in every single qualifier, and are lucky to be going to dreamhack. EG threw the match against TSM for seed 1, and will do the same at dreamhack so they can each have 10k$. So much for competitive gaming right?

[Shishkahuben]

So the top seeded team played the lowest seeded team in the end, like you would see in any normal tournament... Yeah it's dumb to make a late switch like that but at least it ended up with how it should have been in the first place.

[Shishkahuben]

[enigmatikal]

does it seriously matter who CLG played they were still gonna end up the 3rd seed they cant beat EG they cant beat TSM, and they definately cant beat aAa or gamed.de get over yourselves hotshot fanboys

[KingPHONICS]

yeah lol sure is an esport roFL neva eva gonna happen

[trouba74]

Are you SERIOUS ?

[mattmakescovers]

LOL.

[ArnarJohanns]

CLG just got into dreamhack after being fucked over by Riot. Gj wp.

[TheStartuphere]

Epic troll is epic

[ShinMike]

What a joke, also this guy needs to get rid of his acne.

[kkplx]

SO FUCKING AWESOME, thanks man, i lol'd SO HARD :D

[RobPhifer]

This whole thing is bullshit. CLG and their fanboys are just being crybabies to justify the fact that they lost to EG in the first round. Had Riot not changed the seeding CLG would have just accused EG or TSM of throwing the match based on whoever lost. Simple fact is crybabies will cry regardless of how everything plays out. If they spent as much time practicing as a team as they did bitching they probably would have won regardless of who they faced in the first round.

[miekkakuu]

wait wait.... The whole rage about this is about riot making quick swap to prevent potential match fixin?

And presuming that Whale would be weaker than epic they cry about giving TSM advantage?

Oh god e-sport drama is great

[IVIidnightGaming]

@miekkakuu no the rage is that CLG is #1 seed and worked for it all year long, and deserved to get a free shot at dreamhack, TSM should have the tougher game because they are not #1 seed, and now look, did you see the tsm vs Whale game??? Whale sent soraka top to solo........... TSM corki got fed like 7 kills in 5 minutes... Tsm gets a free ride, while CLG is now in the loser's bracket

[HyperDarkmoon]

@IVIidnightGaming so by your logic, a team (CLG) that couldn't beat EG, deserves a free pass to dreamhack?

What? CLG is getting beaten all the time lately, remember the european team stomping them like 12 to 0? Why would a bad team deserve a chance to go to dreamhack if they can't beat anyone

[IVIidnightGaming]

@HyperDarkmoon cant beat anyone? Have you watched 1 tournament this year........ They are #1 seed for a reason, my logic has nothing to do with any teams or anything just common sense, #1 seed plays last seed, if thats not gonna happen whats the point of the seeding in the first place, and because Riot switched EVERYTHING last minute, there was not even supposed to be a qualifier, riot promised CLG this, then they pulled this shit

[IVIidnightGaming]

@HyperDarkmoon And btw im an EG fan and i fucking hate riot for this, yes i am an EG fan so dont bring that CLG fanboy shit here

[ChaosP3ngu1n]

@HyperDarkmoon They won't understand that, bro. It's a whole bunch of bandwaggoners that are just going to ride dicks all day anyhow, but I look at it this way: Trolling or not, whoever plays their hardest is going to win, secret politics aside. So if they aren't meant to go and lose, then that's their own fault, not any one person else's.

[kkplx]

@miekkakuu

Looking at how the seeding system is exactly there to give the best team the best shot at the finals, and EG is now in Dramhack, showing that they were, in fact, much better than 7th seed, this IS in fact a reason to complain

[fanaticnik]

to me it looks like tsm threw the game today against eg

[iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT]

and they cheated in the first round of the tounerment

[zenit1910]

I want thumb-up this over 9000 times.

[funnyanimationguy]

Hahahahah.

[somesoup94]

RiotMarcou needs to be fired. ASAP.

[kanuh]

trololololololo!!!! hohohohoho!!!!

[kage2love]

Riot trolled CLG -.- GG

[somesoup94]

So funny. You win.



[fafikyea11]

u mad?



[SoakedToweL]

RiotMarcou is a fucking horrible esports manager.

[Fr0ntl1nez]

this tournament is one big trollfest

[MaBuRaHu]

doesnt matter, hotshot will just cry till he gets what he wants. Reminds of an 8 year old

[emilhult]

Instant classic

[QQavin]

trololololololololol

[TheCattleMaster]

LOL THIS PRETTY GOOD VIDEO

Good timing at least.

[TheBhullnatik]

This video is bullshit. Stop thinking Hotshot is the center of the world.

[lordofthenoobs]

@TheBhullnatik u jelly bra

[Kurise1]

Who is that douche bag talking to? Why isn't he looking at the camera?

[brutalitygg]

CLG fanboys unite. Bandwagon against decisions that make sense because your idols don't like it.

[LavaDM66]

Please look at the math. They are giving someone a FREE win. What if both teams get to dream hack now? Riot made it easier for the two brothers to get there. And once there, who says they won't throw the game when it matters?

[SgtSprayin]

@brutalitygg If you look at it from a professional prespective, it also doesn't make sense. They made a joke of their seeding system and changed a rank somebody earned only out of a rumor. This is the worst thing they could have possibly done and is the direct definition of a kneejerk. There are tons of other ways to handle this situation. If the rumor is true, ban whoever said it from the tournament. If it's not, what does it matter?

[TSirDiesAlot]

DYRUS APPROVES

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Inzanepiratical]

How nice if you to describe the situation in the most obviously biased way possible.

[Methoswicca]

@Inzanepiratical Well that's actually the RIOTs response. If you'd hear CLG fanboys they'll probably tell you RIOT favored TSM because they are unofficially supporting them. I'm from Eu so I don't really care which Us teams come to Sweden since the gap is so high now(just finished watching the Eu qualifiers and all 8 teams looked so strong that they could beat TSM or EG anytime). Just to point how big the difference is the top 2 teams in Eu(Fnatic and Sk) got to loser bracket.

[Nevra33]

TrollshotQQ got trolled by the mastertrollerz

[zachwp1]

No one would have cared if it wasn't HotshotQQ and he and his fanboys didn't whine about it endlessly.

Seriously, it barely matters. Now they lose a few matches earlier than they were a couple days ago. They still suck.

[SilenceOfTheVoid]

@zachwp1 I;m sorry is your pro team better than CLG?

Then shit down and shut up boy.

[homieboy100]

@zachwp1 Just saying something like that makes me think your stuck in elo hell. And it is a principle involved as well. Seeding is used for a reason, so that the team that is top seeded will face the bottom seeded. And then out of the sky comes Riot and gives the 8th seeded team to the 2nd seeded team and 7th seeded team to the nr 1 team. If Riot had had a legit reason for this I'm sure people would understand, but this shit is just to piss people of.

[SmokieWins]

Riot lost all my respect. Not that they ever had much of it.

So fucking stupid and everyone defending it just brings faulty arguments and misses facts.

[SintSuke]

HEY LOOK ITS 2 FACE.

[WildRose2k]

U guys got creamed!

And now the part I'm going to get flamed for.

Stop being a pussy. Go practice, play with them, beat them then win at dreamhack. After you do this you will get to make a statement, then you can state problems on a stage with a hundreds of thousands of viewers.

[pierreo33]

can someone explain?

[Lexaire]

@pierreo33 Please click show more in the description.

[el3ktricmind]

19/5/13 Expect Us.

[Misterwee16]

Why would they do that?

[mw08149272]

@Misterwee16 there were suspicions that EG would throw their match against TSM, so they made it so the two wouldn't face off first round. But that's kind of backwards logic, because now instead of them throwing a Ro8 match, they would be throwing a finals match

[jasonwang67]

Beautifully done roflol.

[valkyriewing]

omfg ROFL

[lk1407]

epic video :D

[Memphis666666]

who is this ugly acne face?

[hTTrick]

@Memphis666666 nobody can look better than that face.

[Memphis666666]

@hTTrick

fo sure? :D

[donovan3955]

oh no, hot shot has to face a non comparably higher seed in the first match, who the fuck cares?

[mikecmtong]

@donovan3955 seems insubstantial, but it's more the problem of inconsistency. he doesn't think it seems fair, and neither do i, to face the 7th seeded team when you should be facing the 8th.

Also, you don't want to lose your edge by being put at a disadvantage when 100K is on the line.

[CapeetanMoe]

trololololololol

[uscbone2009]

Outstanding.

[Harabec01]

Doesn't matter guys, WHALE will persevere! Nothing will hold back the Guardsman Bob.

[bman6661]

@Harabec01 lol tsm is going to...how should i put it...take a dump on their chests trolol

[Abedeuss]

@Harabec01 You mean besides the asscracks who are on his team, running Eve against some of the best players in the world.

[GoodOldN1ghty]

@Harabec01 hes the only good player in WHALE....

[cyoxlol]

@Harabec01 FAIL

[dasharound]

LMFAO



[Migglees]

the 1 dislike is hotshotgg lol

[TheBysh]

LoL like TSM wouldn't make it either way...

besides if CLG doesn't play TSM its better for them, from what i remember they lost there last series of 3 against them 0-2

[Methoswicca]

@TheBysh IMO EG got trolled even more by RIOT since they'll forever be seen as cheaters whenever they will play TSM. Great way to ruin a good team's repotation even before they play. IT's not like they are a troll team they have Westrice,Doublelift,Dyrus,Krit­icalKill to new a few among them so they def want to get top 3 and qualify.

[spider606]

@Methoswicca EG as in evil geniuses is a huge they have CS hon sc2 sf you name it team they had it before, so they are serious like no there.

[Methoswicca]

@spider606 This isn't evil geniuses they're called Epik Gamer

[spider606]

@Methoswicca ahh I don't follow LoL eSports enough I guess, I follow SC2 a lot and they are a big team there.

[Tranman409]

Lets fuck over a whole years worth of season one circuit. lol

[zeldaocarinaoftime]

epic troll!!!!!

[jaque9]

I think what people fail to realize is that not that CLG wants an easy road to the finals but that the bracket change gave the easy road to solo mid.

[Vanadyan]

I am amused.
