Blind pick in Bo5 for LCS

Is it possible to starting seeing a blind pick in a best of 5 series? I mean if they make it to game 5 I think there should be no reason that any team can't play their best champs so we can see each team to their full potential. I think this would really be fun to watch and I know that OGN does this already and it is a great concept and I would love to see this happen in the LCS.

It would certainly be interesting.

God i hope not. Blind pick has weird interactions that are not always full tested by riot. It would require a higher level of testing.

While I enjoy the few Blind Pick matches that have occurred over in OGN.

I really feel mirror match ups are something you can barely prepare for.

If anything, a 5'th round with no bans, but the team who has the fastest of their two wins gets to decide if they want blue side, or first pick.

This leaves every champion in the pool, and maintains the pre-game of champion select.

While I really enjoy the blindpick-matches in OGN I think they´re not really a good format to decide competitive-games as they´re kinda luck-based if you try anything odd...so it always ends up being the same jack-of-all-trades-comps to make sure you don´t get counterpicked by chance. The pick&ban-phase is incredible important in competitive-games, and a huge part of a teams skill already...i don´t think it´s good to leave it completely out in a deciding match.
