However, cosplayers may wear masks and weapon props as long as they follow our cosplay policy (see below) outside the venue. Upon entering the Coliseum, all cosplayers will need to check their masks and props at our cosplay station before they can go to their seats.

On the TicketLeader site it states Presale: March 1 and Onsale: March 3; what qualifies to be able to purchase tickets for the presale on March 1?

APervySageFeb 24, 20172 votes

Why Canada again :(

Natural2020Feb 24, 20177 votes

Hey Midoriya Deku,

We love all parts of NA. Where do you live?

MaelstroFeb 24, 20172 votes

Will the teams have time to meet some fans? Autographs etc.? So excited for it to be held in BC.

DesiredFateFeb 24, 20171 votes

I have a some questions regarding the event, thanks in advance! 1.Are the prices in USD or CAD? 2.Are the seats preassigned? 3.If the seats are preassigned, how would purchasing say, 4 two day bundles and 2 finals only tickets in one transaction work (Will the bundled/finals tickets be preassigned together)? Thanks again!

Natural2020Feb 24, 20172 votes

Hey DesiredFate

Prices are in CAD.
Seats are preassigned. You will pick your seats when you purchase them.
This is a great question and I am contacting Ticketleader to find out how that works. I will post when I hear back from them, which might not be until Monday.

DesiredFateFeb 24, 20172 votes

Thanks for the quick reply Natural20! :) Do you also know whether we will be able to purchase a mix of bundles and single day tickets in the same transaction? (IE. 4 bundles and 2 single tickets)

CobozcoFeb 25, 20171 votes

Will there merch? :^)

Natural2020Feb 25, 20172 votes

Hey Cobozco,

There will. It will not be in your size.

JK! We will have a selection of merch including a tshirt specifically designed for Spring Finals.

SgtStickersFeb 28, 20171 votes

What type of merch will there be team,plushies,pops etc

Natural2020Mar 1, 20171 votes

Hey SgtStickers,

I am talking to our merch team to get a list of what we will have for sale onsite. No ETA yet, I will post that when I get it.

JolgMar 1, 20172 votes

Will there be a designated area that we can sacrifice Teemo plushies in? Want to try and earn the LoL Gods favor for the team we I am rooting for.

HandicapableFeb 25, 20171 votes

I live on vancouver island and will be taking ferry to horseshoe bay. is there any bus scheldules for times i can look at to plan a head?

MoofeyFeb 25, 20173 votes

The 250 will get you from the ferry to downtown. You'd want to take that to Burrard station, then get on the 95 and take it to Hastings and Renfrew to get to the Coliseum. Would cost about $2.75 and would take roughly 60-90 minutes depending on traffic over the Lions Gate. You also may be interested in ordering a compass card to make your trip a little easier.

MoofeyFeb 25, 20171 votes

Of course this has to be the exact time that I'd be getting my Switch. Hopefully tickets don't sell -too- fast.

Natural2020Mar 6, 20171 votes

Did you get your Switch?

MoofeyMar 18, 20171 votes

I got my Switch AND I got my tickets. Doubly awesome!

Spring split winner gets points nice! Summer split winner gets #1 region seed for worlds ?

I love 7 months of league don't get me wrong but why have the winner of the Summer Split be the # 1 seed just automatically the # 1 seed. An example of this is the 2015 Summer CLG where they were garbage during the spring split but were actually really good in the summer and won the playoffs but a team that was consistent during the whole year and not just in 1 split TSM got the # 2 seed. The logic of which ever team is hot at the time has the best chance at winning worlds for their respective region; so why not just have the splits combined in 1 long season and which ever team wins the "summer" split gets the # 1 seed the runner up # 2 and the 3rd place winners the # 3 seed.

Natural2020Feb 27, 20171 votes

Hey III BAKURYU III,

Interesting ideas. I will pass them on the the team that manages the league structure. That's not my area of expertise.

III BAKURYU III Feb 27, 20171 votes

Please do because of a number of reasons,

Makes the playoffs(twice a year) less and less entertaining at least for me. It's like having the NBA playoffs twice a year it will soon become boring which shouldn't happen for such an important tournament as it decides Worlds. The Finals(2x) a year are like the superbowl but with 2 finals each year they will just become the feeling of just "another game"
Teams can just slump through the spring split but buckle down in the summer and win the summer to be the #1 seed against teams that have actually been good for a full year.

Spring Split/Playoffs - January to Late April while Summer Split/Playoffs are from May to Late August. IDK abotu schools around the world but for most of NA January to April everyone are in school until near the middle of April for start of Easter break which is for 1 week but the problem is most people are/SHOULD be putting their time and efforts in education/school and less time about the LCS instead. So why not have The start of the LCS from April to late August with the continuous "Split/Playoffs" during a time where most of the viewers of this game( 10-20 year old's) are off during Spring/Summer break and not during January to March for the first half of the Split? Here are just my thoughts/ideas

JANUARY - FEBRUARY - MARCH ( Can be the off season for the LCS players as well as IEM tournaments etc placing most of these tournaments during a span of 3 months will get people to watch them as it's the only League as well as giving everyone a much needed rest/ patches/updates etc

APRIL - MAY - JUNE - JULY - AUGUST ( Can be the Start of the LCS with Playoffs being in August. Like I said placing the bulk of the majority of the attention from viewers during this time will get their attention as most viewers are out of school for not just 1 break(April) but 2 breaks( June-August). More free time for people to play League of Legends as well as getting their attention to be able to book tickets to see live events.

SEPTEMBER ( Can be a break for the players after finishing their season)

OCTOBER ( ALL STAR, Placing All Stars before Worlds in my opinion is much better than after Worlds)

Before Worlds players/teams will be too caught up with needing to win Worlds/pressure etc that it does hinder their performances but by placing All Stars before Worlds will give them an event to just relax and have fun before Worlds. Think of it as recess.
You don't tell kids/LCS players about a test(Worlds) and get them too caught up without something to ease their anxiety or pressure so by having All Stars before Worlds gives them time to play the game and able to see their opponents without the pressure.

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER ( Worlds - Another break for most of the LCS # viewers as most of the viewers are not on just 1 break during the bulk of the attention to the LCS Worlds but are on 2 breaks ( Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break)

Interesting proposal, here are my two cents on a couple of issues with your proposed format though;

The main problem with 1 long league for LoL is because unlike professional sports such as the NBA, the state of the game changes drastically through patches, whereas in traditional sports, the nature of the game consistently stays the same. Because it's an eSports game, League inevitably gets patched a lot and these changes can affect how teams perform (think of how some teams benefit a lot from a teamfight heavy meta or a objective-centric meta, or even when an individual player's signature champion gets buffed, etc.). Because of this, the 2 splits format adds 2 nice checkpoints where the game hasn't gone through 5-6 major patches and giving a bit more relevance to the winners of each split.

Next up, while I think the intentions of your All-Star being placed before world's are well intended, in practice this wouldn't work very well. If you place All-Stars, which is a fun, non-competitive invitational event, a lot of players would refuse going, just because they'd rather be preparing for World's through a bootcamp or something of the sort, you can never get enough practice after all.

I do agree with your point on how the Spring Split is way less valuable than the Summer Split though, and though MSI has helped that situation a bit, like you said, a slumping Spring team can still very well qualify as the #1 seed in the Summer, which isn't a very good system in my opinion.

III BAKURYU III Mar 2, 20171 votes

Thank you for commenting.

" The main problem with 1 long league for LoL is because unlike professional sports such as the NBA, the state of the game changes drastically through patches".

Indeed 10/10 however, whats the difference between spring split winner and the summer split winner when there are 5-10 patches during the span of those splits as well as the Spring split winning team has a 8/10 chance of making it to Worlds, even if they bomb during the summer split because of the amount of points they racked up during the spring split.
That spring split team could have just been good at 1 meta and the other meta they could be good awful and not recover but yet they still have a 80% chance to making it big. Either way you slice it teams will be up and down during both splits either splitting the season in 2 splits(spring/Summer) as well as a long season with both splits combined.
With the proposal of a longer combined season it's identical to the 2 splits as if they weren't combined to begin with; if Riot needs to make changes or patches they still have from April-August to do patches as well as having a week play, next week off type of style for the players/teams to figure out certain metas.
Meta is important no doubt but look at when Riot totally mixed the meta about 2 weeks before Worlds in 2015. The biggest tournament in League and the result of hardwork from those certain teams to reach Worlds and they get bombed with a new meta/patch right before the tournament.

" Next up, while I think the intentions of your All-Star being placed before world's are well intended, in practice this wouldn't work very well. If you place All-Stars, which is a fun, non-competitive invitational event, a lot of players would refuse going, just because they'd rather be preparing for World's through a bootcamp or something of the sort, you can never get enough practice after all".

Teams/players can still get in bootcamps and scrims in if the All-Star event is still in whatever country Riot holds the events, but I do understand most players will instead just go to Korea for bootcamp if All-Stars takes place in Europe or NA etc so I do understand that, and while Riot can really make players/teams go to something that is for fun it does bother me to some degree.
Let's say every player or most of /teams that are apart of Worlds goes to All-Stars not only would playing on a stage that is just about having fun and not be taken serious as well as the fans knowing it's all good fun it will ease the players before Worlds, I mean look at Splyce first international event and they did meh 1-5 basically a forgettable performance and the cause of that could be " All work and no play makes X team a doll team"
It's an event that before a patch that Riot releases before Worlds the players have a chance to see for themselves that isn't just another solo Q game or scrims( which is the main reason on why NA does so poorly at Worlds alone).
With players not showing up to All-Stars before Worlds, hell if I lost at Worlds I wouldn't waste my time for All-Stars and just want to go back to X region and practice for next year's Worlds/Splits. Hell make it into the player's contracts to show up to All-Star as it's really for fans similar to say NBA cares events. These are pretty much celebrities but yet we don't see them at all, they don't do any labor or hardwork, they sit on a computer gaining cheap $ from people who do want to see them, hear from them and yet they can't show up to an event that's fun, takes the ease before Worlds, and to just see fans without needing $ to do so.

" I do agree with your point on how the Spring Split is way less valuable than the Summer Split though, and though MSI has helped that situation a bit, like you said, a slumping Spring team can still very well qualify as the #1 seed in the Summer, which isn't a very good system in my opinion".

Indeed, I sent e-mails to Riot back in 2013 about the Spring split being useless other than just a split not to get relegated from but with no reason to win it.
Thank god Riot changed it in 2015 with the point system because it wasn't smart having a 3rd place summer split winner > Winner of Spring split.

Overall I read your post and have thought about a few things but I still stand by my post/reasons as well as respecting yours in the process.
Thank you again for your time and thoughts.

Is the large oval in the seat map going to be the stage? Which way will the players be facing on the stage?

Natural2020Mar 6, 20171 votes

The stage will be in the round, similar to last Summer Finals in Toronto. Players face the long sides of the arena. http://assets1.sportsnet.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/esports-1040x572.jpg
