I've lived in Boston my entire life, I love this city and I just can't believe you guys decided to host it here!!!! THANK YOU RIOT!!!!!

Me too! Most of my childhood and teenage years were spent in Massachusetts as I live down in Norfolk. I went to the Dota 2 Major in Boston at the Wang Theatre last December. Always wanted a LoL event that wasn't just at PAX. Now they're bringing a summer LCS finals here; this is going to be super exciting for Boston. I hope TD Garden is the venue. A friend and I are definitely going to attend this event.

I'm sure it's gonna be sweet. I can't think of another place better than the TD garden. Hope you have fun man!

As a massive TSM fan , a new england resident, (worked in boston for almost 6 years) and a wicked hardcore sports fan, i can not possibly overstate how excited I am for this! !! I hope TSM makes it to the finals again so I can experience the deafening TSM chants that Boston fans will bring. .. Boston is known to have the most intense fans for their teams! !!!

Boston in September? Are you nuts? September in Orlando is a much better place to be.

Boston averages about 70 degrees F in September, Orlando averages 90. I would honestly rather be in Boston.

And the entire event is indoors and therefore it doesn't matter. Worlds Semis was in NYC in October.

I was there for semi finals, rainy foggy weekend it was in NYC 😑 and hopefully I'll be on Boston this fall!

You obviously don't know much about Boston's weather

Lived there for almost 2 years, near Foxboro. Got 36in of snow in November. Snowed in May that year. It rains a lot in September.

I lived like an hr away from Boston. Do not take this away from me. Plus it's summer right now, and it's 50F. Weather here is hella bipolar, but they are playing in an arena anyhow. It will be alright.

yup. In Boston March and September are basically an extra month of Winter and Summer.

do you live in Mass or one of the surrounding states?

How is the month of May relevant to this?

Grew up in Foxboro, live in Boston now. Fall is literally the best season here

September isn't even fall in Boston. September 2-3rd is still late summer. All the trees will be green still and the weather will be lovely (70s probably).

Yes. And this is indoors

Orlando and the rest of Florida is the trashcan of America. It smells like sweaty ball sacks and your neighbors probably sell heroin.

I like how the NA Finals takes place in Boston and how NA got beat (kinda) 1-1 in Groups from G2, easily could have been 0-2 and how EU are coming back strong this year.
The British are coming, the British are coming!

Raging Tuna1 votes

Boston is a city in the US, wtf you talking about "the british are coming"

III BAKURYU III 3 votes

British - Eu, just wouldn't be the same as saying " The EU players are coming". The "Boston Massacre" situation. NA taking place in Boston, while at the same time EU is growing stronger while it seems NA is getting weaker. That's what I was saying kinda, sorry if it confused you.

Hmm, so from what I can understand they've gone to New york, Toronto, and Boston in the past year. Either one of the LCS organizers has AL-east season tickets, or there's a huge coincidence going on with locations.

TheParadoxMuse2 votes

As a RI resident I approve!

Why do we keep getting finals on either coast? Why not Denver, Salt Lake City, Dallas? Something in the middle please?

Of course this happens after I move out of Massachusetts...

Awe. :( I just moved back to New England. I'm super stoked.

Right before school Ty Rito, can I have one of you write me a note for not having homework after the weekend?

RiotPwnLove4 votes

Summer Finals takes place on a holiday weekend so you can plan to do your homework on Labor Day (Monday, September 4).

What the heck happened to the main post? Was someone eating spaghetti next to their PC while coding? I know, I know. I'll excuse myself now for that joke.

I have been a huge lolesports fan for 3 years now. I think I have missed watching only 5% of EU or NA matches the past year. Attending this tournament is going to be so great! Thank you RITO!

I am not hating but RITO when are you going to host an event in Texas. We have great cities, Fort Worth-Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin. Please don't forget about us senpai.

ThatDorkyGuy1 votes

After looking at the seating map, where would the "best" floor seats be? In your opinion, if you've been to a massive event like this before?

We Are GRO0T1 votes

This is probably why RIOT didn't show up to PAX East this year. I am glad they are still hitting our coast with something.
