and what was house reward for being first?
A permanent golde house emote.
Every player worldwide obviously also had the missions and watch rewards on top of that, which (in my opinion) was definitely more than you could have gotten by a regional reward. But I do understand that this depends on how much you play and your preferences.
that's all cool and nice, but people expect that the official riot boards would be the first place where such information would become available first...it was never even posted there, so i hope that you understand from where i'm coming from.
Our dedicated place to post about server issues is actually this page: https://status.leagueoflegends.com/#euw
It was updated throughout the nights during the problems with all information we had. And again, I can only talk for Germans, but we do have more users in our Discord and our Twitter than our boards, so that is why we moved comms there for everyone who needed more than the server status page.
In the English forums Eambo gave updates in some of the bigger threads (https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-en/h5Qrpjkz-the-client-is-tripping-balls-at-the-moment and https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-en/Ew5u0o7l-tft-long-que-time-whats-the-excuse-now for example).
The official English EU Twitter also had updates (https://twitter.com/loleu).
Read moreWell, where is it then? Cuz they are not saying anything. On twitter, reddit or even an official lol announcement on the website.
They see us complaining, they can tell this to the people in charge/responsible, an announcement can be made: "hey you fucks, yea you shitty eu people, you ain't getting shit, so zip it. we were only prepared for CN to win so to hell with y'all".
I am exaggerating, obviously, but no word after all the threads and tweets and stuff is just pathetic.
Hey Voshin, as a disclaimer I'm not an expert when it comes to MSI rewards and I'm not working on the team. For this years MSI we added the whole Mid-Season Trials event, where players could identify and pick their houses. And instead of regions battling it out, we had the houses compete for an ingame reward (still salty that my house only came in second).
This was meant to include much more players and not only esports fans and provide a more "broader" thematic. I'm from EU myself, so I'm super stoked we won it (and excited to win Worlds as well!), and I'm sorry that we made such a bad job to explain the changes this year. All of this was planned and decided before MSI, so nothing against EU as nobody could predict which region will win.
Also EU > NA.

Hey, being from Riot EU (German team to be precise), we did talk to players constantly during those dark times. However we don't do it on reddit, but for German for example on our twitter account and community discord. There we could give updates much faster and casual then looking for the right thread to jump in.
So well done, I love it just as much as I love Zyra. <3
