I mean, if you want this as a sport, Riot, You should start treating it like every other sport and honor the three top contenders. That includes a faceoff between the two teams that didnt make it to the final.
Alleo5 votesI have never seen a professional sport do that.
Edit: don't know why I'm being downvoted for stating that I've never seen a professional sport play for 3rd place when the majority of the sports in the US don't play for 3rd.
CubedJustice4 votesClearly you haven't watched a professional sport.
Alex is the name4 votesMLB, NHL, NFL, NBA there, four professional sport organisations that don't play games for third place and that's just in the U.S.
blueberrypancake2 votesThat's all American so obviously that vision is skewed
FIFA does 3rd place matches
Alleo1 votesNo one likes lawn faries.
Angry Monster3 votesNA boards, surprised that NA player watches NA sports.... KAPPA
Nantuck5 votesI found some of this interesting actually .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place_playoff
When you say "every other sport" its really just World Cup Soccer and the Olympics that have people play to determine 3rd place. I like how in boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling just award 2 bronze medals for 3rd and 4th in the Olympics. I'd say that is what they should do here I guess imo.
Environmentalist2 votesHaha I was wondering about that too. I guess it's just a 1st place tournament take all or leave all.
Biffolo2 votesNfl doesn't do that. The MLB doesn't do that either I don't think.
EPIKON2 votesWhy bother even playing them losers.
What's interesting in that?
I mean didn't they already play each other over and over and over and over in EU LCS?
This is the same argument I read in many of these topics in regards to having two LCK teams in the finals.
Let's just stop and be a good sport about it.
Korillo2 votesHow come the Blue Jays aren't playing the Cubs for third place right now guys!?
Sincarnation1 votesI thought the 3rd place was saturday and 1st was on sunday?
Aerothal2 votesI thought the 3rd place was saturday and 1st was on sunday?
can you link me to where that was mentioned? i don't see it in the official tournament bracket!
Deep Terror Nami2 votesThey may be placed based on their win/loss record. Fnatic went 3-0 and Origen went 3-1 giving FNC a better record. (they both went 4-2 in the group stage)

how boring is that?
Deep Terror Nami4 votesBoring, but it's just a guess.
Earl Eulrich1 votesi believe last worlds they have been rated as 3/4 place and received the same amount of price money...no difference there (though i personally wouldn´t mind an additional Bo5)
prozak821 votesuhh no sports bother with 3rd place because no one cares about it
Awkward Couch1 votesI think that people were wanting a third place match but I don't think it was ever announced.
Kal Vas Flam1 votesMost sports don't care about second and third place. They only care about the champions.
Aerothal1 votesanyways, how cool would it be if they had gold silver and BRONZE medals?!? Then one of the pro teams could be bronze! That would be the best ever!
