The top teams playing each other sounds pretty near, the All-Star Challenge sounds dumb as fuck haha. Sounds like they aren't playing for an extra spot at Worlds this time.

Allstars was still great last year. It was a great achievement for players to get onto the team (SaintVicious still sports the jacket) and it was pretty cool for the community to crown the best/most popular players at each position. I was really excited how the Balls vs Dyrus and WildTurtle vs Doublelift voting would turn out.
Well, Miniworlds is nice too and gives the LCS playoffs some signifance.

The most retarded part is that they are doing that in middle of LPL/OGN season, so the team going for All-Star is in huge disadvantage and waste time to play in 50k tournament.

LPL regular season finishes by the time, ideally the winners of the playoffs would have been sent but I see no problem with sending the 1st place from the league instead.

SKT are guaranteed to go to all stars because korea's spot is determined based off point system and it's impossible for another team to pass SKT by 4/25.

really mixed feelings about this, because international competition is pretty rare these days this is pretty cool, I really like the idea of an all star game and enjoyed it last year, but all things considered this is likely an improvement.

This is like a midterm exam for the finals. There's no point to holding this event every year whereas all stars is a really unique event in itself. The new all stars is a complete joke. One of the great attractions for all stars was that it was like the olympics where you'd watch the dream teams of each region compete against each other at the highest level for the pride of their region. I think this new one means a lot less for the players now.
|
I see it the complete opposite way, couldn't care less about all-stars whereas international competition is exactly what's been lacking since S2.
But I don't see why it has to be one or the other. Considering that it was fairly popular, could have held all-stars as well instead of the mixed teams playing on silly game modes.

All stars is a piece of shit. We have close to ZERO international competition outside of worlds, the more the better and anyone shitting on it is pretty dumb.
There were no attractions for allstars, anybody remotely interested in watching competitive play knew it was a complete joke.
Outside of "lel my favourite players are on one team!!" what do you gain? A whole damn lot of subpar play because players 1) dont care and 2) arent going to reveal tactics to other teams (everything from rotations to picks) so you end up with garbage games that are reminiscent of high level soloQ because nobody gives a fuck and arent going to just openly give away their (+their teams) inner workings to their competitors.
Seriously all "all-stars" was last year was a massive popularity contest with a ridiculous prize at the end of it. I'd much rather watch all the same players playing with their team against the others in games that matter to them.
TL;DR - International competition good, Teams playing together for something that matters good, 2013 all stars roflol bad

Lol you seriously believe players didn't care about all stars last year considering how big region vs region means to people? Wait, you're gonna complain about subpar play when we're inviting teams from GPL? "International" competition is a joke when it's lower level than OGN.

The only people I saw say they didn't care was the euros after placing last.

This tournament is the same as All-Stars except with the actual best teams from each region rather than dumping 5 players together. Of course they cared but I don't see how you could possibly claim that the latter is more competitive or more representative of each region.

AllStars was great last year but this even excites me a bit more I think. I think I'll just sit back and enjoy the matches, it's definitely more competitive now, yet of course the AllStar spirit is kind of gone. Of course I'd have loved to see a Flame/Faker/Kakao/Mata/Piglet or something team, too.
