Dear Riot: Make IEM play on the Live patch, not 5.21

We're done with season 5. SKT already won. What's the point of another tourney on 5.21 when everyone else, including PGL, are playing on the preseason patch? We've still got over a month until IEM, that's more than enough time to give all the teams time to learn the PBE patches. IEM is going to look nothing like the game everyone else will have been playing for over a month; what's even the point? We already know how strong GP and Morde were; Let us see the pros playing all the new adcs.

We do have Kindred... and Kindred... and Kindred. That's pretty much it. It'll be a fun set of games to watch, but mostly just seeing Kindred comps and seeing the new TSM/CLG rosters.

IEM belongs to ESL, not much Riot will do to that...

IEM is next weekend? Definitely not over a month away. Did you mean All Stars?

I agree, if they're going to force this unplayable mess on us, the 'pros' should suffer along with us for the world to see! Otherwise lets ask them for copies of the older seasons, at least they were enjoyable.
