The Poro King comes to the LCS

Riot·12/16/2014, 8:33:49 PM·4 votes·56,926 views

The Legend of the Poro King game mode drops this week as part of Snowdown, and with it comes intense 5-on-5 Poro-slinging action. The Poro pummeling can be enjoyed by all, but one has to wonder, "What would happen if 10 of today's best League of Legends players threw down against the King?" Well, we're about to find out, as players from Cloud9, Curse, and LCS newcomer Team 8 are about to step into the Poro King's realm. Team Poro:

Hai (Cloud9)
Meteos (Cloud9)
IWdominate (Curse)
Dodo8 (Team 8)
Slooshi (Team 8)

Team King:

Xpecial (Curse)
Sneaky (Cloud9)
Maplestreet (Team 8)
CaliTrlolz (Team 8)
PorpoisePops (Team 8)

You can catch the action live right here on Lolesports.com Wednesday at 1pm PST (9pm CEST). Head over to the Snowdown page to learn more about this year's Snowdown event!

Just make sure to have 6+ announcers announcing all the plays, just like they do in Korea.

Is it happening today or next week?

So exactly when does this match happen? My timezone is UTC +1, and the Lolesport schedule page lists today as "Wednesday, Dec 17 - Today - No Streams"

The article states "Wednesday at 1pm PST (9pm CEST)" (which, as far as I could understand, should be UTC 21:00, or in my case, UTC +1, i.e. 22:00/10PM), but it doesn't say anything about which Wednesday... I just assumed it would be today.

Damn all these timezones...CET, UTC, CEST, PST, why can't they just have, like, ehm, "a clock"...? xD

How do I choose a team to cheer for when both teams have a member of my team on them?

What they should do: Those Poro icons that change your poro in the Poro King game mode. They have no use after this ends, but Riot should make them change your ARAM poro's forever, if you have the icon on. That way, you can keep enjoying the poro icon's spcial purpose even after the holidays! summoner 31 summoner 30

Also like to question why velkoz is perma-banned from this game mode, when there's more abusive champions taking advantage of the yoyo effect.

What type of damage do the summoner 31 do? Is it physical damage? Magic? True? Or just damage?

Hey riot, no idea if this is where you take suggestions, but you might wanna know sroraki can probably heal the king and I'm not sure if you want that.
