That's a lot of numbers

300 dragons? That gives me an idea, can Riot give players a personal statistics page that contains even more individual accomplishments (i.e. # of Dragon last hits, # of Baron last hits, # of Baron last hits when enemy team dealt the majority of Baron's health)?

One thing they forgot: unique characters picked. While I don't think it'd be a record low, it definitely felt like it was under 40 this year.

I like how they included Sneaky's record CS as the one thing NALCS has to be proud of post-worlds, lmao.

Also, SKT is the only team that had back-to-back championship record and defended the title.

That 1 perfect PICK'EM winner must be ecstatic at being mentioned here.

Also, this was the first year to ever have the Worlds Grand Final go a full 5 games.

Can anyone explain to me what "Unique Daily Impressions" means?

Yeah but will it blend?

How many Barons and Rift Heralds were killed? Would be curious to see that statistic in comparison to Dragons.

SKT were also the first two time world champion, and will probably be the first four time champion as well

What about some numbers on the champion diversity at worlds this year ? I am pretty sure it was very low this year again.

ESPN should release this article so all the ignorant followers can see how big this is becoming frfr

I'm surprised only 1 person won the PICK'EM ... Out of the millions lol

JACBOB12/8/2016, 12:14:21 PM1 votes

I had the world pick right, then silly me changed it the day before it started and even tried to change it back. I went for H2K to beat SSG, I don't know why I went for the underdog team. So sad I would have been number one of two item 3070

CaptainAsia99912/8/2016, 1:24:07 PM1 votes

LOL my roommate and I still think someone told SKT to lose the third game so that the finals could last longer than it was. That'd be why Faker looked so mad.

I wish the Money pool would have been matched by Riot. If you break it down to what the teams even the first place teams get. I am surprised the teams are making much money.

Used this in a research paper. Thanks. :)
