went flawless all games but choked a reverse sweep in finals...
the curse is real.

LCS have incorporated their terrible production into worlds and implemented their start of match interview where the first 3 minutes of the game ur getting an interview instead of watchijg the game. I absolutely despise it and think its a terrible addition and choice to have as a viewer. When the game loads I want the focus to be on the game and hear the casters opinions on the matchups and focus on the game itself. Not an interview with the coach, a players relative, or anyone at all. If u want to add an interview add it before the gamr actually starts. Its just as annoying as seeing a random ad in the middle of the match and completely takes away from the match itself.

Are we witnessing a start of a new curse? I know it has only been 3 series so far but...

C9 vs KC Game 3 - Yamato gets interviewed, Tactical dies.

FUR vs MVK Game 2 - SofM get interviewed, both Harky and Ayu die.

KC vs MVK Game 2 - SofM gets interviewed, Caliste and SiuLoong die.

Yes, its coincidence. But... I will track this throughout the rest of worlds.

Hi! I'm a Spanish LoL fan and I built a small, free site to follow Worlds 2026: https://worlddex.lol/en

What's in it:

• Watch page: the official broadcast and co-streams in one player, with a live standings table on the side. It keeps playing in a mini player while you browse.
• Worlddex: every qualified team and its roster, most-picked champions and player stats, plus an interactive map of the tournament from Play-In to the final in New York.
• Road to the Cup (/jugar): a small roguelike. You pick a pro player as your coach, start with a champ from their pool and fight your way from Play-In to the final. Champs use their real Q/W/E/R effects (stuns, shields, executes…), there are drakes, Baron and an item shop… and you only get one life. In my tests only ~5% of runs win the whole thing.
• Daily challenge: everyone plays the same run each day, Wordle-style, so you can compare results with friends. You can also send a friend your exact run.

It's a non-commercial fan project: no ads, no accounts, not affiliated with Riot. The site started in Spanish and the English version is new, so feedback on translations, bugs or game balance is very welcome.

How far can you get? 🏆

Hello everyone!
I wanted to share my Power Map tier list for Worlds 2026!
I’ve spent around a month working on this project, watching VODs, analyzing statistics, and evaluating each team and player to create what I hope is a thoughtful and informative ranking.
My goal wasn’t just to rank teams based on their results, but to look deeper into their performances, strengths, weaknesses, and how they compare heading into Worlds.
I’d really appreciate your feedback, whether you agree or disagree with the placements! I’m especially interested in hearing what you think I could improve for future rankings, both in terms of the analysis and the presentation.
I’ve also created individual team overviews and player assessments, which I’ve been sharing on my social media pages if you’d like to explore the reasoning behind some of the rankings.
I’m planning to continue the project with post-match reports, team evaluations, and updated rankings once the Swiss Stage begins.
I’m really excited to finally share this after putting so much time into it, and I hope you find it interesting and informative!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
