Can anyone from Riot answer this question for me regarding Road to the Cup
So there are a few things about the 2013 lcs cinematic that strongly reminded me of the Mortal Kombat Armageddon intro. (I will link the 2 videos for comparison)
LCS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX_IQkeXq9g
Armageddon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNmg66B-SSQ
**Beginning: ** LCS: They are showcasing their abilities of their preferred champs (with team logos in the back ground, but that has no real purpose to this discussion) instead of fighting because let's be honest, we don't want to see famous lcs players tearing into each other in a rated R cinematic. It's just Esports.
Armageddon: Its graphic by nature so everyone is just duking it out Mortal Kombat style.
**Tournament approaches: **
LCS: The obelisk erects (probably symbolizing the ladder the teams will have to climb in the tournament) and they begin to climb it.
Armageddon: Blaze's pyramid rises from the ground and all the Kombatants begin to fight each other on their way toward the top.
The prize is revealed:
LCS: The 2013 LCS trophy cup is shown at the top shining in all of its rito glory.
Armageddon: Blaze rises from his slumber and reveals his full body in a blaze of fury.
