Between DOTA, DOTA 2, HoN, and LoL we have a large following at our LAN's. Don't worry we haven't forgotten about you guys for v10. First I would like to point out that we never do the same tournament back to back from event to event. So we wouldn't be doing LoL this time around no matter what. But also the complaints and fighting over our tournament didn't make setting it up easy for the staff also. Because of that we have decided to go with something new....

A LoL Exhibition!

I need someone from the community to step up and run this one though. Think of it as a small tournament with no more than four teams of 5 where the person running can set any rules they feel are needed including minimum level. The idea is to get the best four teams together to play a few epic matches (you get to pick your own teams also). As long as scheduling works out we are hoping to be able to play atleast the final game on the projector also!

What do you guys think? Like I said before I need someone to step up to run this one that wouldn't be playing in the tournament. As long as we have that we are set to host this for you guys.

I'd be willing to help out in any way I could whether that be setting it up, co-assisting, or helping with spec mode.

He is going to do everything in his power. He just had a baby girl born yesterday, and he is a groomsmen in some admin's wedding the weekend after the LAN, so it may be hard for him to pull.

I just sent an email to a friend who works for LoL to try and get us some maxed out accounts for this lan tourney. If we can get 10-20 accounts the tourney would be A LOT easier to set up.

Having a maxed out character is only going to be as good as the person playing them... But it's a cool idea. I'd rather get some Riot points or something for winning. IU LAN Was able to work their "I Go to a Big UNiversity so give us stuff" magic and gave like 5000 riot points to everyone on the winning team...

Come on Riot, don't let LAN OC down!

I agree on points. Anyone who plays in this exibition should be higher level. The point of this one is to have just a few experienced teams playing to have a few epic matches

If the point is to have some epic matches, could you devote a little more time to the whole tourney and allow best 2/3 for a few of the games. It's hard to see who is clearly better if it's blind draw and one team gets lucky and picks better. Sometimes skill doesn't factor in as much...

I still think there is a way to have it where team one picks 1, team two picks 2, then back and forth with no duplicate champs... Then you can pick a balanced team and allow skill to dominate!

Just my $.02

Wouldn't that just be Draft pick?

yessir! :)

the reason we didnt do that last time was cause of the 14 champ limit. Last time there were lvl 1 summoners lol now that we all (hopefully) own 14 champs we can just do draft mode.

There is only so much time, keep in mind by fitting this is we are packing in more than what we normally do. It is also not to take away from the official tournaments also

Wes, draft mode is a mode where when you start the game it has it all timed out. Like you have 30 sec to ban a champ and then like 40 sec to do your shit. It'll be quick and painless :)

From being in past LoL tournaments with lvl 1's. We just did everything in chat in custom. Bans and picks. Therefore nothing was duplicated. Although not ideal, it worked fine.

And best 2/3 really can eat up time. For one round it can go 2-3 hours.

if we do 3s instead of 5s it cuts matches down to 20-30 mins each.

TT is such an imbalanced map though.
If time needed to be cut down could run some Dominion mode, 20-25 minute matches. Haven't seen anyone doing that though and haven't played much so not sure if it's really balanced.
