in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UPkWjVwOPc) at 2:36 a referee walks up with a card, shows it to Bjergsen, and gives a thumbs up, as if asking if he understands. I was just curious as to what that card is, as it looks odd.
RiotAlwaysBeClosing8 votesHello Hide on Kush (great name),
I'm the Head Referee for the NA LCS. That card is called the "Checklist" and it's a list of different reminders for the pro players to check during their warm up on stage. It has things on it like "Game & Team Audio" or "Runes & Masteries." We do this before every match, so that each player can be comfortable with their settings before the game. It is part of the process that allows us to know when the pro players are ready. Once they all have signed off on the checklist (a simple thumbs up will do) then we can start the game.
