World Championship Spoiled on League of Legends Facebook Page

So just scrolling through my newsfeed on facebook is the winner of the World Championship. Why host a rebroadcast if you're just going to spoil it? That was really insensitive.

You should learn to avoid EVERYTHING if you're going to watch the rebroadcast. You should know they're going to post information as important like who won the 2014 world championship in all of their social media outlets so why even go anywhere near there before you watch the rebroadcast.

Because I have friends on Facebook. Even a message like "congrats to the s4 world's champs" would have been spoiler-free enough for me (maybe just bc I don't know faces on the teams).

Agree more or less. My problem is that the result is spoiled on the LoLesports page even if you have the "hide spoilers" option turned on. This option hides the outcome for the individual matches but it doesn't hide the f'in finished bracket which is the first thing you see when you go to the site.

I stayed off of every league of legends site, every news site and every sports site. It's just very odd that they would have a broadcast for the North Americans but then spoil it on the North American page. So many people have clicked like on their facebook page for the free Tristana skin, and to spoil it for all of those people. . . Not everyone can watch at 2:45am to start. The mystery was ruined for me and I want them to take it down so they don't ruin it for more people.

Good point, I forgot that's only the NA Facebook page.

you shouldnt look at anything until youve seen the rebroadcast

It was in my news feed. I'm not gonna stop keeping up with friends just so I don't get the ending spoiled.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0 (I kid, I kid) but seriously that's kind of a dumb idea, especially when it's so easy for League's North American page to just not run that for another 12 hours or so until North Americans have had a chance to watch.

Well if you would have been up at 8am est and logged onto facebook like me and seen the results in the right side newfeed(not even LoL feed) you would have been disappointed too. Good and bad that LoL is popular enough to be on the FB newsfeed.

(FYI AFAIK Facebook adjusts those based on browsing history, but point stands.)

You literally have to put yourself in the equivalent of a "media blackout" to not get spoiled, PLUS have the vods page bookmarked, it is dumb.

Twitter? Spoiled Facebook? Spoled Log in game? Spoiled Log on to find the "spoiler free" videos on LoLesports.com? oops, spoiled before you get to the vods page even

Yeah, I was disappointed too. It's like spoiling a movie after an early Thursday night showing; you don't do it until everyone's at least had a chance to see it. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I came into game 4 (lunch break, gotta go fast) already knowing the outcome and it was super anticlimactic, especially considering how fast that game went.

Yeah, it just happened to me as well. I don't even know if I want to watch the finals anymore.

Quantum WeebOct 19, 20141 votes

This is how I got spoiled as well, after only watching the first game.

I was really annoyed, this was the only World's match I was planning on fully watching after all the NA teams got eliminated.

Why the hell would the MLB facebook page tell everyone that the Royals beat the Giants in 5 games the day after the series ends. Don't they know people TiVo that?

-OP

EDIT: Not sure how this is downvoted. I'm right. l0l

They aren't showing the MLB game at 3 in the morning with a reshow at 2pm. You can't compare it. Also, sarcastic writing is stupid.

Sorry, the world does not revolve around USA. The facts REMIND as follow:

There are many people who stayed up at 3am to watch the game. The world does not revolve around your ignorance and stupidity.
When the final is over, regardless of the type of sport and time zone, ALL website/social media will be updated on the wins SECONDS after the match is over. Even during the world football cups that was played 3 AM EST.

Your stupidity and ignorance is too much. DO NOT leave your house and dont ever use the internet ever again.

[SPOILER ALERT] It was kind of obvious SSW would win... sorry SHR I love ya... they are the better team.

TheNameIsJohnnyOct 19, 20141 votes

Why would you blame RIOT or anyone but NOT yourself? Obviously, they are going to post the winner on their Facebook after the match is over. EVERY sports final does that; Basketball, baseball and etc.

Maybe you should stay away from any media sites? It is almost common sense that there will be spoilers on facebook.

Go hit the gym, do some laundry, clean your living quarters, do your homework and etc.

I watched the entire reboardcast w/o getting spoiled because I am not an idiot like many people here.
