apparently riot actually loses money on shit like this. they pay for the venue and the teams and all that shit and the advertising and tickets aren't quite high enough to offset the cost

Friend of mine works at stub hub and sells tickets to these venues and you wouldn't believe the money people will throw down on tickets.

They pay for prize money, event set-up and even player salaries, but the money brought in from sponsors, viewers and ticket sales doesn’t yet offset the cost. But for them, it’s a worthwhile investment as it’s one of the best avenues for promoting their game.[/quote]

or do they know they'll waste a little too much money and make up for it as the season goes? edit: apparently yes they do

[editline]5th October 2013[/editline] tabe wtf are you doing [editline]5th October 2013[/editline] or whitez, whatever

kass pick and the casters are just silent, lol

I wonder why they picked Kass instead of Kayle.

collusion [editline]5th October 2013[/editline] even royal's on monte's train [editline]5th October 2013[/editline] that ez snipe tho

fuck, it lagged right when kass ganked bot, i saw nothing

tabe is the actual carry for royal uzi is just a decoy

Royal Club has better teamfight but losing early-game this hard is not gone get them an half-decent teamfight before the game is over. [editline]5th October 2013[/editline] Well they just aced. [editline]5th October 2013[/editline] i suck

Im watching this grand finale as a dota player, I noticed the casters kept emphasizing the 3k gold lead. Is this a drastic gold lead? along with that, do weapon/item procs work on towers?

Is this a drastic gold lead? along with that, do weapon/item procs work on towers?[/QUOTE] certain procs work on towers. Trinity force (which you've heard of because everyone seems to be getting it, it's the one that looks like a triforce) has a proc that basically makes your next AA after using an ability do more damage (works super well on jax and corki and ezreal, for example). there are items made for towers like the ohmwrecker but i don't think i've EVER seen that built, even in normals. (I saw a yorick build it once for some reason, but other than that)

Royal needs to know their limits they had that dragon team fight but they ended up chasing instead of just getting Dragon, getting picked off by Ezreal and wasting time on trying to kill Jax under the second tower. Also Royal sometimes had disgustingly bad vision which got them caught. I don't understand their team comp either. They're willing to use all their ults to pick off people yet Rumble/Vayne both require a lot of time to get their damage down. Should of had more burst if they wanted to go for an assassination comp.

as for 3k gold lead it's not necessarily that that's HUGE, but it's a good indication of how someone's doing. dragon, for example, gives...what, 150g to each player? So that's only 600g but you've seen how much people fight over it. It's more just an indication of snowball potential.

Some character abilities that modify their basic attack proc on turrets.

Is this a drastic gold lead? along with that, do weapon/item procs work on towers?[/QUOTE] sheen and triforce (which give extra damage after using a spell) proc on towers, but there's no offensive items or spells that you can actually use on them, i think and yeah 3k is big. not "they'll lose for sure" big, but its a slippery slope. i'd say about 4.5-6k would be a huge gold lead

Well SKT is going to win hands down so I'm done watching. NA and EU step it up next season please.
