Can we stop attacking other eSports for postponing the IEM LoL finals?

Seriously this reddit is terrible (incoming infinite downvotes).

There's like 5 threads on the front page just filled with wow fuck csgo for taking so much time, wow we have to way for sc2? this crappy game, etc.

You're all being very rude and very disrespectful to the professional gamers who have practiced and practiced and then practiced more for this event. Rather than talk shit on games you don't PLAY or understand because you don't play, watch them try to learn, appreciate, and support the growth of eSports.

edit: nvm you guys are too busy being butthurt to care about anything other than ur delayed grand finals, i should've known better than to try to say something constructive in this subreddit.

I'm pretty sure people are attacking esl's incompetence and nothing else.

Except there really isn't any incompetence... People are just attacking the wait timer on their grand finals...

ExMoogle•

it is incompetence

kT_FailOP•

Honestly it's not incompetence, they just want to give everyone a grand final stage. They could just say fuck that and have everyone in their group stage scenes and have an underwhelming LAN finals experience, instead they choose to have the games be played out.

Sure there's the argument that it could take so long that the crowd has to leave, but that's just the nature of video games, we don't have time limits on games (generally) compared to a physical sport, so scheduling is subject to be infinitely fickle.

WhosYourDade•

Are you serious? If you organize something, and tell everyone x event is gonna start at y time, and it is delayed by 2 hours because i couldn't foresee cs:go's finals taking this much time, you're extremely incompetent and unprofessional. Think about Real madrid vs barcellona (example) having their game delayed by 2 hours because of a concert in the same stadium.

Oh please, lol finals may be starting 1-2 hours later than planned, esl is indifendible.

ESL is being attacked, not the games

Their time management/planners just didn't do their jobs correctly.

No, we're just pissed that ESL scheduled it this way.

chosena•

would you have been more happy if esl had scheduled lol finals for 21:00 and than cs go plays out 16:7 in 2 maps and cs go in 4 10 min maps and lol starts at 7 and evrybody misses it?

-1
ExMoogle•

they could have started cs:go 11:00 or 12:00 and not 13:00 with this shitty 25 breaks. Would work then.

chosena•

they could have schedued lol for 9 am so the chinese and korean viwers have a better time, theres more of them anyways

carmac should think about that

kT_FailOP•

will LoL subreddit every be happy about any schedule. literally if it wasnt postponed, you'd have some timezone crying about what time the game is at lol

-1
chosena•

yea, they should just schedule lol for 9 am cet, asian viewers are more than the wstern anyways, that way league schedule will never interfere with sc2 or cs go again

bet those crybabies would love that

0
kT_FailOP•

and then they'll cry that they have to watch a rebroadcast or a vod instead of the live thing

but really we both know they'll only check reddit to see who won then cry about not being able to watch it live

PlayTopOnly•

I just came back from work, as soon as I could, so I won't miss a game from final. And now it occurs I was in rush completely in vain, becouse ESL can't predict how long the games will last, and scheduled final completely wrong. It's really unprofessional and hurting e-sports, if it is to be treated seriously.

And I won't watch SC2. How can I enjoy a game I never played, and don't understand? I guess I'll just read a book. Still I missed a beer with friends, I'd normally have after work on sundays, just to see that ESL doesn't give a fu.

kT_FailOP•

............. you are probably the most ignorant fool I have seen in this thread and I really hope you're trolling.

-3
PlayTopOnly•

You adjust your schedule to TSM vs. WE gran final.

You finish 8 hours of work and go home to watch it.

It occurs game won't be up for hour or two, becouse schedule was unrealistic.

You obviously end up unsatisfied and under the impression, that it could have been handled way better.

Where is trolling? Where is being ignorant? It's just regular thing. I only wonder how ignorant must be the guy who will advise me to "enjoy starcraft 2", the game I have no bloody idea about, and which I''m not interested at all.

It's like you tell the guy who's NHL final is delayed 3 hours, to enjoy watching golf. Sure golf might be interesting, sure guys put lots of effort to master it, it's just simply not the thing NHL fan want to watch in this particular moment.

kT_FailOP•

WHOA THERE MAN, real sports =/= esports. Real sports LITERALLY have time limits, esports are very flexible and variable in most cases.

so YES you are ignorant

-2
PlayTopOnly•

It's not like you should take into account long games being possible, and in the worst case let people wait.

OR

Take into concideration that length of the games may extreamly vary(which isn't that true actually) and do NOT organize 3 grand finales on one stage.

If you say 18:00, and it ends up 20:00, you are bad at what you're doing.

Jackie88•

haha it's funny most LoL posts are people trying to defend SC2 and all the SC2 posts are people berating and trashing LoL...

2
kT_FailOP•

If you look at SC2 subreddit you'll see an army of angry LoLers saying their game is shit.

So that is a very inaccurate assessment.

no1 is attacking you are just being overly sensitive.

I just want Zest to win . My problem isn't SC2 it's ESL's planning.

cooler2471•

I haven't seen one on the front page. I have actually been wondering what is going on lol

hitbp•

*Edit TLDR.. ESL need to sort out their planners / time management. My problem with this situation is they had nothing in place to prevent it and didn't say it would be delayed till after the original start time. I understand they want to put the big events on the same stage but why have the biggest events scheduled for one after another. With no break in between set up to counter act any delays that may happen..

as of writing this game 3 finished. Lets say Zest wins the next 2 so 40 minutes plus 20 minutes for in-between match time and another hour to set up for LOL. We're looking at 2 hours and its currently 17:41 {GMT}

SO start time will be 19:41.. nearly 3 hours late.. Planning guys PLANNING!

kT_FailOP•

Or you could just you know, enjoy eSports, support everything, have a great time watching all these great players and games.

But I guess being pissy that games have variable time lengths is a better solution.

Asinine2412 (EU-W)•

Yeah we all had nothing better to do today. No one changed their personal schedules to make time for this event ( which is now massively delayed), so no one should be complaining.

Some of us have this thing called a life that means we cant stare at our computer screen for the whole day hoping that the league event will start soon...

Sure i'm 'pissy' as you say. I expected a large scale event like this to have counter measure in place to help prevent games going over time. We could be looking at 2+ hours over here...

I'm currently watching the Starcraft games but still find it annoying from a event so large and with a huge production budget that this wasn't planned out properly and I feel others will be feeling like this too.
