Yesterday was the final day of the World Championships, the tournament which will decide who will face off in the Grand Finals next weekend. Sadly this was not completed successfully due to technical problems.
What happened?
During the second game of CLG.eu versus WE all the streams went black. After some confusion it became clear that the internet connection at the venue had completely failed. This included everything from the streams to the press wifi but most importantly it also broke the connection between the League of Legends client and the Riot server. After Riot managed to get the internet service restored they tried to salvage the game but were unsuccessful. This forced a remake, with WE having the choice over whether it was a straight remake or a full re-do including picks and bans; they chose the latter. The choice was theirs because despite it being quite early in the game; they had executed a very neat level one strategy that led to them having three of the four buffs on the map. They were also a few kills ahead and had quite a respectable lead, given the limited duration of the game.
