Well Done Riot

Quit league, dropped by for a few games half a year ago. Basically haven't been playing for over a year.

Suddenly, I'm interested in League again. You've done a hell of a job with e-sports. It's so well done/polished, while the game - when played expertly - is entertaining to watch. It's become similar to FIFA for me. Back in the day, I used to watch/play football all the time. Now I only watch the world series. To actually get a video game that embedded in my head is pretty damn impressive.

Some of the stuff I'm seeing is hilarious though, like "Prime-time". Meanwhile, that "My Picks" thing is pretty cool. I didn't participate in it actively last year, but I think I will now. The spectacle is hit and miss, but tremendous overall. So tremendous, that I actually felt I should make this post. Well done. =)

I didn't even know about the pick 'em thing last year, but this year they are giving out an icon for participating, and CS Riven for perfect picks :3

Plus they made top laners strong for worlds after so long w/ no room to shine top. They just wanted to feel special to.

I agree.

Same thing happened to me. I was not playing at all, but kept watching the official matches and international championships. I wonder why other companies don't do the same (i.e: Nintendo/Smash Bros. or Capcom/StreetFighter). It would definitely not get as big as LOL, but smash has a reasonable good amount of specs and tourneys, even without moving a finger.
