L'avis d'Ocelote :
Hey guys. Ocelote here from the hotel.
Ill be sincere letting you know that reading all the stuff im reading thru these days is making me not feel comfortable. Community is missunderstanding everything quite a bit, and I would like to clear things out.
Some of us work hard, bringing a professional behaviour to the table, trying to reach the goal of making eSports something that everybody knows, talk about and even practice in a daily basis... And then? The catastrophe happens. Internet issues, discussions about some teams cheating, rumours surrounding us.... All this, killing the purpose of reaching professionalism. And all this, in the S2 Grand Finals. Disaster.
Im in eSports for quite long already, and thru these years I developed my knowledge in a way that I actually understand when, how and why things happen around Gaming, and thats why Ill give my honest oppinion about this topic:
First of all, I wanna make clear that no company behaved like Riot until now. They are giving everything for Gaming. They actually care about what people has to say, either proplayers, amateur or even casual ones.
No company put in practice the ideas Riot is bringing until now. Let's Open our eyes for a moment, do we realize where were the groupphase and brackets being hosted? We were right in the Stapples Center. One of the very most known and valuable places in California. Where Los Angeles Kings stadium (NHL), ESPN headquarters, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers stadiums (NBA) are hosted. Near by Los Angeles Convention Center...
So much on the line. 5million prizepool year? Probably multiplied for Season3? We are living a dream, we are living the beginning of the change.
The meta changes however the community wants to. As one of the most important reasons buffs/nerfs and changes are done is the feedback from the community.
When it comes down to this event:
Proplayers got treated extremely well. Before, meanwhile and after the games. We got everything covered, with a good hotel, good meals, cabs/shuttles, tickets to visit fun stuff, rioters taking care of us, chance to practice before playdays... Im pretty sure every professional competitor will agree with me on this one.
Remember when internet went down? Me, from a reliable source, can ensure u guys that the internet troubles were, not at all, Riot's fault. There was literally nothing Riot could have done better. But that's something Riot will never say. That's not the way they handle things. And that's definitely something laudable.
Remembering when internet went down again, it comes to my mind what Riot did. Instead of finding excuses to cover themselves, they rushed a way to make the customers happy. Ordered pizzas for everybody there, gaveout stuff and entertained the crowd however they could. (props aswell to every shoutcaster that was casting by then) Deman, Jatt, DJWheat; not counting Phreak, Rivington and Rachel.
About cheating:
Cant really blame players for using their senses in a moment when everything is on the line. (implying iG probably did it versus us). Nobody cant say "I wouldnt do it", cause even tho thinking about it with a cold mood u would never do it, who knows in a moment like that, where you just want to win. Im not defending them, im just saying that in those moments, when emotions make you shake, sometimes you can't even control yourself. Lemme put it this way, If a football player had a chance to score a goal with his hand, wouldnt he do it? He knows it's bad, and probably he woll blame himself afterwards, But in that moment, everything is engaged in a different way.
Riot commited the mistake of making able that to happen, but believe me,mthat wont be a problem in upcomming events. That mistake wont be repeated, for sure.
All these points are meaning that we should really lend a hand right now. Have patience, wait and see.
Grand Finals are soon, And I can put my hand on fire knowing that everything will run smooth. Be sure Riot won't commite twice the same mistake, ever.
Im not gonna be playing there, as u know already, as we got owned in groupphase by better teams. But Ill be watching the finals LIVE, as the respect for this sport and my opponents keep me here. So no, Im not gonna take the early flight and Im gonna make sure I enjoy one of the best shows in eSports, ever.
See you there. ocelote.
TL;DR: lend a hand, Riot is doing good. Dont be so hard on them and help this to grow with positive feedback. Work together to make this grow. See u in the finals.

Bon on peut remarquer son honnêteté à la fin (we got owned in groupphase by better teams) mais c'est pas là le point le plus remarquable. Au final c'est exactement ce que je pensais : quand il y a des problèmes comme ça ce sont toujours ceux qui sont les moins impliqués qui vont en parler le plus et trashtalk. Suffit de voir les réactions des joueurs pros (qui sont les premiers impliqués) pour comprendre un peu mieux. Bon après faut réussir à discerner l'objectivité de ce qui est hypocrite mais je pense honnêtement qu'il est franc, comme tous les autres. Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils sont "sous l'emprise de Riot" de par leur position que ce sont des faux-culs. Ils ont toujours dit quand il y avait des soucis, là ils expliquent ce qu'ils se passent, tant mieux.
Réponse de wickd :
I can only agree with everything Oce said. Riot is doing sooo much for esports. They are new to it and they do make mistakes, but they admit the mistakes and work really hard on them!
You can really see that they are doing everything in their power to make everyone playing the game happy and you can see their love for the game that's why i would never get mad over the issues that happened.
Accessoirement Riot continue de s'occuper des affaires de triche :
Also, while I’m here – I wanted to clarify the original post. We’re investigating all instances of reported minimap looking, and reviewing all available footage. This includes the level 1 ping in the Frost/TSM game many of you have pointed out. We’ll have a ruling based on the results of that investigation.

Et reginald dit dans son AMA sur le site TSM qu'il n'y aura pas de remake TSM - AZF.
