Riot Announces Date for Makeup Matches
In a thread on the League of Legends forums, Riot’s VP of eSports Dustin “Redbeard” Beck released a statement on the remaining quarter and semi-final matches to be played before the Season Two Finals.
The makeup games will be played on Wednesday, October 10th at 5:00 Pacific Time (click for countdown).
Beck also addressed both the location, format and time of the makeup games, perhaps addressing allegations of screenlooking by multiple teams. The full text of the post can be found below.
Quick update. We’re writing up a full front page post about this but I want to get it out now that details are decided.
The conclusion of the playoffs will take place on Wednesday the 10th, starting at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. We’re going to be broadcasting from the same venue our World Finals are taking place, the Galen Center, and the players will be competing in a backstage area while we set up the main stage for Saturday. Players will be separated with no visibility of the opposing team. Due to the quick turnaround, we unfortunately won’t be hosting a live audience.
We’ll once again be streaming in free HD on both Twitch and Own3D, with the same broadcast production features (player cams, replays, etc.). Casters will remain the same for English, and we’re determining what other languages we’ll be providing.
