The Poro King comes to the LCS

Riot·Dec 16, 2014·4 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!

Why does NA always get the fun matches, i want to see european players play the fun stuff!!! D:

Sry but u misunderstood :) the game wont be played by the koreans.

SquigglykinsDec 16, 20149 votes

Actually, Koreans tend to play all the fun game modes like URF during Masters. The All-Star and Master teams played troll games, and Najin Black Sword played an URF match against CJ Blaze, and I haven't seen the other ones. This will most likely end up in Masters 2015. (I'm still totally for an EU edition of poro king tho)

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

LessinorDec 17, 20144 votes

But the pros played and enjoyed URF.... Your argument is invalid.

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

GBNG170Dec 17, 20143 votes

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

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

I guess we should leave it to the PROros. summoner 31

When it's gonna happen? I mean which Wednesday.

ZT XperimentorDec 18, 20142 votes

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.

Axios of VanuDec 16, 20141 votes

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

MethalusaDec 16, 20143 votes

50 true dmg

semutaDec 16, 20148 votes

The true damage scales with levels though.

iJediJan 25, 20151 votes

Pure damage, like fountain lasers. Bypasses any and all possible damage mitigation.

RIOT why you done this to me, you suspended my refferals and sold my skins back , you even sold my master yi skin taht i bought with 400 rp you gave, i dont like league of legends anymore , stupid people are running this game

ˆνˆDec 17, 201414 votes

And your first idea was to blame Riot for it here? Sorry to destroy your imagination but... how about contacting the support instead of crying.. I think you even know, that this is the LoL Esports site and not the support site.. And how about this: RIOT CAN NOT HELP YOU HERE

DaddyTacoDec 18, 20141 votes

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.
