Crowd at worlds...

Hellmet·Oct 21, 2017·2 votes·871 views

Is it just me or does the crowd reaction at worlds just seem... stale? It's like they aren't really getting into it, it's like they are afraid of getting too excited or they will get their heads cut off or something. Maybe that is truly the case and if so it's just chilling. If I was in the audience watching the Misfits go up 2-1 on SKT I would be going nuts. If this was in the states I can guarantee you that 100% of the crowd would have been chanting/cheering for the Misfits throughout the last 2 games. It just seems odd.

Is it really exciting to see this meta? Farm til 6 items then one teamfight for it all. So much excitement.

Clearly never watched a single game.

I honestly have not seen that happen a single time. One team might try to do that only to get their faces smashed in by a Caitlyn - Janna bot lane, but both teams trying to do that? Nah that hasn't happened once.

SKT vs Misfits was pretty much the opposite of "arm til 6 items then one teamfight for it all"

The crowd is slightly muted I think because the Chinese cast is the primary one. The English cast is in their own area not directly linked to the crowd.

The crowd also roots more for China than EU/Kr.

Have crowds ever been not stale for esports? I think not.

Go watch the FGC (fighting game community). Years ago when the scene was much smaller, many of the Japanese players would complain about how hyped up the American fans would be. Also, it's a Chinese crowd. They will probably be more into it when WE is playing C9.

Just wait for the ALL Korean finals. I am sure the Chinese crowds will be so happy seeing SKT v SSG after they defeated their home teams. (That is unless Riot scripts an RNG win).
