SKT T1 K wins All-Stars 2014

In a complete victory with no losses SKT T1 K demolished every other finalist from each region to win All-Stars 2014 without a single loss. They won the Semifinals against Fnatic 2-0 and then proceeded to destroy OMG 3-0 in the Finals. Playing the minds of their opponents they demoralized and destroyed and now have the right to say they are the best as they not only have won Worlds 2013 but also All-Stars 2014.

New Mirror Mode

One for All is back and this time its really a One for All. This time all 10 players will vote for a champion and the most picked will be chosen to play. There is also a new addition that for 150 RP you will unlock all skins for every player on your team and receive a large IP boost for the match. Mirror Mode is coming, so look out for yourself.

Updating the Tribunal

Riot Stated that they will be changing the Tribunal and in the meantime a system that will heavily penalize players will be used. This means that Leavebuster and other bans will be taken care of harsher so be careful not to mess things up. The system will be up in a while as Riot is using all information gathered in the past years to change the Tribunal. Hopefully after everything is done we will find a system that will actually penalize players for what they are doing and create a more peaceful community.

May Champ and Skin Sale List

Riot has given us the full Sale list for May so that we can save up for things we are interested in. This is a really nice change to the weekly sales as it lets people know ahead of time what they can or want to buy. If you wanted to buy Gladiator Draven, now you don't have to waste RP since you know he will be on sale in less than  month. Hope Riot keeps doing this as it grants players even more freedom on purchases.
