League of Legends: 4PL All Or Nothing 2 Recap

Yesterday’s online League of Legends tournament 4PL All Or Nothing 2 suddenly delivered an incredible show. Eight European teams, including every European powerhouse (the only missing powerhouse was fnaticRC, who are currently still in Korea), were invited to compete for a €1000 first place prize – All Or Nothing, as the title says.

While both Natus Vincere and SK unfortunately faced and lost to some of the toughest European teams in the first round, the French powerhouse Against All Authority lost to a freshly formed Luna Gaming. This might be a result of aAa‘s roster change:  it’s mid lane player MoMa recently left the team, mentioning on his Facebook page that it was facing serious mood problems.

On the other hand, Poland team Meet Your Makers has shown some great performance, beating CLG.eu (former AL) in the first round, and then delivering an incredible second game versus M5, absolutely crushing them and then snatching the victory with a very clutch baron steal; even though they still lost the series. Definitely a must watch game.

The final two games of M5 versus Absolute Legends (former Mistral) turned out to be surprisingly one sided: AL proved to be one of the few teams that know how to beat M5, landing one blow after another without giving Moscow Five a single chance to recover and get back in the game; but even with a 0-11 score and a 10k gold difference the Russian powerhouse fought back amazingly well, setting the series’ intensity on a level comparable to the recent IPL Vegas.

Even though M5 still remain undefeated, losing only one offline game since they joined the pro scene, 4pl All Or Nothing 2 showed their weaknesses along with their strengths, and further proved the fact that they can be beaten. Of course, it must be said that online tournaments come with additional circumstances like timezone difference: for example, Moscow Five had to play in the finals at 3 AM.

    LoL is no eSport, it’s insanely easy…

      LoL is an e-sport whenever you like it or not. Skill required to play a game isn’t a factor that determines if a game is an e-sport or not.
      WoW isn’t e-sport at least at it current state. Lack of tournaments (in comparison to LoL for example), allowing pve gear (you don’t have pve kalashnikows in CS, do you?), lack of observer mode (just developed in LoL and it is also on AT, but not in retail version). Just few reason off the top of my head.

    Lol is a more popular, and far greater e-sport than wow ever was and will be, seriously just stop playing wow, it’s a shit game now and is all about tunnel visioning something into the ground, minimum effort maximum reward, also having to pay for something that visually looks like it should be on Nintendo 64 is just a joke. Not to mention the horrible customer support and interaction that Blizzard has to it’s players compared to Riot.
