Just went to the LIVE stream for EU Masters
There was a big sign saying congratulations and naming the team who won. A big FU to you, Riot. Guess I won't be watching this one. You still just don't give a shit about spoilers.

I wonder when the community will realize that this isn't going to stop any time soon and if you miss something, you might as well check Eventvods and watch it through that site where you don't have to go through any hassle unless you overclick the "Next Game" button. I've almost never spoiled myself the entire Spring Split because I know going to either the main site, Youtube, or Reddit was just a spoil waiting to be exposed to me.

The community will realize that this isn't going to stop any time soon as soon as it becomes something that couldn't easily be changed by Riot game to the satisfaction of all. It's that simple. If something can easily be changed to improve the system, it will be expected to as it should be. It's amazing that you begin your post asking such an obvious question.
Your first baffling sentence continues with "...if you miss something..." How would I know I missed something? I got to the esports page and see a bar showing EU Master and it states LIVE. So I click on it. At worst I'll catch the end of the last game, at best I'll see a few of the games. Nope! Riot actually went to the effort of making a special page they just continually show, which states who won the event. As if I couldn't find that information elsewhere.
Hey, if I know I missed the time of a game or series I wanted to watch (say anything LPL or LCK) I already know I'm not just going to go straight to pages I know well I'll find spoilers of sorts upon. Eventvods.com does not spoil me. I spoil myself because I get too anxious to know the outcome and hey I'm fine with that.
My opening statement was merely observational and slightly transparent because you're sure not the first or last to have come to the boards with this complaint. That's not my big point to the comment.
And your post clearly insinuates that you did in fact miss the finals or what you wanted of it. Why would you make a post if otherwise? Why wouldn't you have not known the start time of the finals? Why wouldn't you have prioritized what you'd do had you would have known you missed the start?
Website and in-client spoils is and has been nothing new. Until something is done about it, it's up to you as the fan to find the means to not get burned by it.
Your poor assumption is not my mistake. I went to the esports page when I awoke in the morning as I aften do to see if there was new news up. That is all. I did not miss anything as I did not know some EU finals event was taking place at the time. Your assumption is incorrect and enough evidence to discount any analysis of the situation that you are making.
The fact is there was a banner up showing that the EU Masters finals was LIVE and click to watch it. The fact is that was not true but they were indeed streaming a sign congratulating the winners. Take down the live stream or at the very least don't go out of the way to stream the results for hours on end after the event.
Your poor assumption is not my mistake.
Call me of poor assumption but your reasoning and understanding of the matter is just as poor.
And hey. I make mistakes. I can't assume them all. The way I see it from your title and description all you were doing was complaining about being spoiled and blaming Riot for it. Deserved but unnecessary if you've been exposed to it long enough.

No different from me and what I've grown used to. I can wake up all the same and look at my stream feeds on YT or Twitch showing whatever was live. I can and have clicked/tapped on them only to be met by a winner's interview. But you don't see me saying "FU Riot for spoiling something I'm still capable of watching even though I know the result."
I did not miss anything as I did not know some EU finals event was taking place at the time.
NOW you state that! Maybe you should have stated that sooner or at least in your description. The blow of reasoning and assumption I gave would have been less hostile than what it was. Either way, how could you have gone a month not knowing that? Unless you don't keep up with LoL esports, then I would understand. But again, you fail to make or have made that clear until now.
Your assumption is incorrect and enough evidence to discount any analysis of the situation that you are making.
My assumption is based off the little grieving you lashed out upon in the title and description. I have more than enough evidence and experience in how to avoid spoilers and I explicitly stated that and how I actually find ways around them. I've already understood the situation and provided an example above.

LCK was live once. Opened it up to watch it.....
The fact is that was not true but they were indeed streaming a sign congratulating the winners.
....and saw the winner's interview on broadcast. My fault. Watched the match later anyway.
Take down the live stream or at the very least don't go out of the way to stream the results for hours on end after the event.
That congratulations banner was only up for 10 minutes at the very end of the stream and the match ended 30 minutes before it. You're talking out your ass if you thought it was "for hours." And yes I checked the vod. Sure streams can be cut sooner similar to what occurred for All Stars. But everyone who's been around long enough knows that ESL is not perfect on this and if it was primarily run by an ESL crew the mistake for not cutting the stream sooner compared to Riot Production is pretty expected.

*And now you start of with a lie, when an admission of guilt is what is due. You clearly were eager to call someone wrong, and didn't bother to read the title sufficiently
And hey. I make mistakes. I can't assume them all. The way I see it from your title and description all you were doing was complaining about being spoiled and blaming Riot for it. Deserved but unnecessary if you've been exposed to it long enough.
*The title clearly explains it was for a live stream and not just seeing results on the main page. You failed your reading comprehension. Like you said, it happens. Apologize and don't be so quick to respond next time.

*Who cares what you've been used to? That's your problem. This situation wasn't about what you thought it was, because you tried to apply what you've been used to.
NOW you state that! Maybe you should have stated that sooner or at least in your description. The blow of reasoning and assumption I gave would have been less hostile than what it was. Either way, how could you have gone a month not knowing that? Unless you don't keep up with LoL esports, then I would understand. But again, you fail to make or have made that clear until now.
*It's described in the title. Read it. MSI and Rift Rivals have been all over the esports page. EU Master have not been there at all. Read that again. AT ALL.

I have more than enough evidence and experience in how to avoid spoilers and I explicitly stated that and how I actually find ways around them. I've already understood the situation and provided an example above.
*Regardless of what you based your assumption on, it was wrong. Just admit it or just move on. IDC which. You're failing harder by struggling with excuses.
LCK was live once. Opened it up to watch it.....
....and saw the winner's interview on broadcast. My fault. Watched the match later anyway.
*That can happen. As I wrote, that clearly is NOT what happened. That would be unavoidable. This clearly is avoidable. Once again, you are applying your different circumstances to my issue. You haven't learned a thing and are making the same mistake. Fail.

*That is a lie. It was up for hours. It was up until they replaced it with the normal start screen without the congratulations. You are literally making up stuff at this point.
If you're not going to reason within yourself and what I'm saying, then this is a dead discussion. You can go ahead and keep whining about it or you can do something about it so you don't miss out on or be spoiled by what you care about watching. Choice is yours.

Damn right the choice is mine. That's to come to the forum to address the situation to Riot publicly. Thanks and cya.
