This weekend's Featured Matches sign up post is up. In this current round of the FMs, we are letting the featured faction pick the map that will be played on for their weekend.

Piltover is being featured this weekend, and Shurima will be featured the weekend after (July 18-19). You guys need to choose which map you want to play on for that weekend. Vote on this poll here, which will remain open until July 13, giving you guys some time to discuss and strategize on your map choice.

we actually have a strongish team for Dominion, a definitely workable team for HA (though Pilt would mop the floor with us)

No clue on Twisted Treeline, though. Think Noxus and pilt both have an edge.

I'm voting for Howling Abyss Because Ascension was a thing at one point and it'd be a really nice change of pace to have the Crystal Scar be the focus this time around. We're always on Summoner's Rift and sometimes on the Howling Abyss, we need a change for something this potent.

Hm. 3's are about mobility and communication, right? If so, we actually have a decent shot there too, against everyone but friggin Le Blanc.

Honestly, I'd kinda be ok with any number of maps, since we're strong enough to take on almost anyone, anywhere. But I'll hold my vote for a bit until we get more discussion going.

Oh god not HA, we'll all die. I wouldn't be opposed to Crystal Scar, would love to just do SR, and am ambivalent about TT, cause i don't know enough about 3s to say who'd win

Honestly we can do anything except the Abyss. Noxus is strongest on 3's imo but they're not unbeatable. Plit on the Abyss on the other hand *shuders* Ez/Cait/Ziggs/Janna/Hiemer or Ori. This weekend is already going to be a nightmare I can tell.

I say we either go Dom or the rift though. Dom just because it would be a neat change of pace and we've clearly shown that we can win 5's so either or is fine by me.

Crystal Scar would be a nice change of pace. Easier to run in on and engage someone, I think, with the narrower lanes and less focus on cs in favor of teamfights/skirmishes, which is kind of our strong suit. Plus the lack of wards and better gank opportunities through the center of the map... yeah. I like kalamanda.

Votes suck, apparently people like the Rift so much we can't even change this one time to Crystal Scar.

Piltover is being given a choice of map and…the Howling Abyss has zero votes?

Does no one remember the time we used HA and all the other factions screamed bloody murder because of Piltover?

This is Shurima CCT... Take a nap. I think you need it.

Really? Poketover, reigning champion of Murder Bridge, has chosen to bypass its slam dunk? ...And we thought this weekend would suck.

Edit: or what masterpierround said.

And you've all got Shurima coloring on your names! You're taking this way too far. I have to tell Crazy MLC!

Heads up that the poll will close tomorrow around 12 pm Pacific time. Get any last minutes votes in now before it is too late.

>Pilt goes 6-0 on HA

How the hell did you EXPECT that to turn out, honestly?

If Shurima gets the crystal scar or Summoner's rift, we have an advantage.
If Noxus gets TT, they have an edge, but not a huge one.
If Pilt got the HA they essentially win the game automatically unless the team is run by chimpanzees.

I'd say Pilt made off like bandits in these "Select your battleground" matches, but there's only 1 week of Howling Abyss and maybe 1 week of TT and then its back to us having the advantage.

Well crap, there goes our lead. That was pretty unfair. I mean, yes, they can have an advantage but they shouldn't be put in a position where they have a near 100% victory.
