LCS RIGGED?!?! *PROOF*
There have been games in the past where i had an inkling of LCS being rigged, however today my suspicions arose when I saw the game between Team Liquid vs. Optic gaming. Week 6 Day 1. Just as the game starts a Live interview with Optic gaming's coach is being done.(7:15-7:50)
In the interview a translator is present for Optic gaming's coach because i'm assuming he can't speak english very well. In this interview he is asked what is going to give your team the winning edge. At first i'm interested in the response because currently as it stands before the game Team Liquid's win to loss ratio is 9:1, which is VERY good. I don't expect Optic gaming to stand a chance against such a strong team. However the coaches response was extremely weird. He makes a comment about him wearing his new socks. which i think is sort of a joke he is trying to make possibly. Maybe he doesn't believe he can win, so he just makes a troll response to get the question over with, or maybe it's a joke that might have just flew over my head since IDK, but his next response is what makes this interview so weird and has me believe that this game might have been rigged somehow. He then remarks the core part of the game will be getting the blue buff, BLUE BUFF. He repeats the words blue buff a second time to add emphasis to it, almost like he knows something that we don't. At first i thought he was trying to tell us his team was invading them at their blue buff, but that didn't happen. Both junglers got their reds first then got their blues second. However if we fast forward to (20:50-21:20)
The game is 1 to 1 currently. Both teams are somewhat even, we have about a 2k lead in favor of Team liquid which Klepto might have had an affect on. Optic even received first blood against Team liquid. We see an extended fight happening where Team Liquids jungler Xsmithie is going for Optics Blue buff. We see Xsmithie pull the buff out, but it's weird because he's pulling the buff out way too far which causes it to reset. Almost like he's buying time for something to happen. Maybe baiting the enemy to make a forced play, which is what happens. After the buff resets Xsmithie tries to get the buff again only this time he actually takes it. After that Team optic uses Nocturnes R to try to find a kill onto Xsmithie, but both Optics nocturne jungler and Alistar support manage to find themselves dead after the aggressive play made against Team Liquid. Xsmithie is left alive, and Team liquid manages to take Mountain Drake directly after that since 2 members of Optic are dead. It's strange though because during the fight it seems like Optics other members were not ready or not willing at all to start that specific fight. Why would you? The blue buff was already gone when optic started the play, it would make more sense to make a play defending it, but to rush in and suicide over a lost blue buff makes no sense at all.
After this play the game shoots into Team Liquids favor which allows them to slowly overtake the game and come out of it with a win, but i feel like this game was just so weird because of the interview and Optic forcing a bad fight after their blue buff was gone. What do you guys think about this?
Also this is my first ever board, so i apologize if it's doesn't fit the current structure of most boards.
