IN 2 DAYS, 3 INCIDENTS INVOLVING SPILLED WATER OCCURED DURING LIVE LCS MATCHES...
BAN ALL DRINKS ON STAGE. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE PAUSES!
COACHES NEED TO MAKE SURE TEAMS ARE WELL HYDRATED BEFORE A MATCH.
Miror B6 votesThey could always just design tables with actual cup-holders instead of having 50-cent bottles of water lying randomly next to thousands of dollars of electrical equipment. Then if the players spill it, it's entirely their fault.
GeminiRune4 votesSounds quite petty to vent on. I mean, have you ever had a drink of any sort at your computer setup when playing games? Take that logic and bump it up to a competitive standard. You know...the one where high pressure and tension cap anything beyond what you'd think of typical ranked promotion games?
So yeah, let's disallow the benefits of having hydration in an environment such as that. Let's have players choke on shotcalling...literally. And for what? You? People who grieve over it? Seriously?!
Douglas Funnie1 votesDo professional football/soccer players have water bottles next to them when they're running around for 90+ minutes? No, they keep themselves hydrated before the game and during breaks. Soccer players don't have mics to communicate with each other across the field, they are constantly shot calling to each other by screaming.
GeminiRune4 votesSports players will frequently go back to the bleachers and benches and keep themselves hydrated; more than often mere minutes at a time! With League specifically, you're talking going on stage for 35+ mins counting coming from backstage, preparing the lobby, Champ Select, playing the game, and going backstage again. In no adrenaline sport does an active player go half an hour without hydrating themselves! And even still, **why compare it to a physical sport?! **
They are still freaking human beings. It's insensitive to even think that they can go through all they do without some kind of hydration! Why should they have to kill their voice and body no matter how loud they get or have to get? Think about that. Put yourself in their shoes. Put yourself on that stage.
III BAKURYU III 3 votesTraditional sports also have the ability for timeouts tho too, they play for what 1-2 mins before they can get hydrated from commercials which about like 40-50 per game, timeout which is 3 or so for each football team, 6 for each NBA team(12 total).
While league players play for 40+mins per game, give or take without a break, no timeouts and no commercials/referee stopping for sponsors so they players can run over to the sideline and get a water break etc.
NFL team kicks off, the receiving team gets it runs like 20 yards - either a commercial or literally 2 plays into the kick off, commercial. The team punts, the receiving team gets it, runs 5-10 yards - commercial; rinse and repeat about 15 more times from kick offs/punts per NFL game, in which players can rest up during that time/hydrated and that's just from 2 plays alone.
Virgin Ray2 votesno tsm needed to spill water in order to drain out the salt and therefore keep a clean and focused mind to pull of the comeback.
gameboygold2 votesIs this a joke
Hemanth2 votesMatches don't last more than an hour , I dont see the need for any drinks on the stage
DrCyanide2 votesStage lights can get mighty warm. Water on stage is better than a pause because a player is starting to black out.
Colgate Gator1 votesI suppose people will find any stupid reason to make a stand nowadays.
