Flash of a Weekend

As you know, I spent most of my weekend sleeping, eating but most of the time watching the LoL tournament. So first day, it was the first time I've ever watched a LoL tournament, and it was just so intense because I was shit and of course everyone there was just so totally insane because they were professional players. Then a bit later down the track I kinda became detached to that, and I'd make comments like "okay that game was like a 1v9 not a 5v5, there was one good player and the rest of the shitty team just threw it". Just sitting here in front of my computer I felt all this aggression build up as teams I didn't want to lose lost anyway and later in the tournament it just became less and less fun because it was always a landslide victory towards one team.

Anyway, the LoL tournament was held in Shanghai, and the Chinese team was playing. I was cheering for them the whole time because I felt a sliver of patriotism rise, and also because the other teams looked kinda not-very-attractive in terms of facial features, and at least China had some decent looking men who could play LoL. Anyway, I was really hoping China would win.

Then along comes Korea with their bullshit and they trash everyone. Korea rolled through EU, then rolled through NA, and then they rolled through China in the finals. It was like, there was nothing the whole game. Felt like watching this avalanche where everything just fell down and whichever team the Koreans played got buried.

So now I'm kinda hating myself for not having done any work, and the finals were so crap anyway because the Koreans just dominated both games from the best of three. Except I know that if I watched all that build up to the finals and didn't actually watch the finals, I'd hate myself for it. I know there are always replays I could watch at a better time, but there's just something exciting about watching things live. 

Well, time to start my crapload of work, now that the LoL tournament is over.
