Their last event was certainly better than the world finals (in its construction). Riot needs to just look at better tournaments around the world (say... football), and to invest in proper soundproof booths (I would say that being somewhat removed from the crowd is more facilitating to a strong competitive environment). But I understand what they're trying to do (making esports synonymous with sports).
They're both great games.

NA doesn't have anything TO throw Honestly, I'd have rather seen Evil Geniuses (clg.eu) and KT-Bullets and Frost and Blaze... Mineski was a poor replacement for Singapore Sentinels, and Gaminggear.eu was effectively a lower-tier NA LCS team.
Team Solo Mid, and Velocity got knocked out either in group stages. Cloud 9 (NA's best team, by far) took 1-2 against fnatic. Honestly, C9 IS a world-class team... I feel that the quarterfinals should have been best of five. Both C9 and Gambit could have very easily made it a 2/3 or 3/2, and royal club vs OMG also could have had more brilliant games (though to be fair, Riot should look to emulate IPL/IEM for not putting people from the same regions into the same bracket... because it's Worlds... an *inter-national* tournament).
The chinese and korean showing has been very strong this year.

I would play DotA2, but the art style is a hard jump for me, and my standard harass is less effective than All-in nuking. I did alright with sniper, but I failed hard as the dryad (whateveritsnamed), and I was an alright zeus too... I got called a 'brood-noob' in my first game
Yes, I still remember that from like... a year ago?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
