[2021] T1 vs. DetonatioN FocusMe / 2021 World Championship - Group B / Post-Match Discussion

I stepped away during draft phase for a 30 minute meeting which ran over to 34 minutes and T1 finished the game before I finished my meeting. bruh.

(and yes I know DFM is from the LJL it's an old meme)

Well, I'm in Europe right now, so I am working from home. I told my manager today that no work is gonna get done when EU is playing and he was like lol yeah that's fine.

At least in my team (information security in dublin) it's something of an annual ritual to enjoy worlds together. Most of us really enjoy watching it.

in the Dublin office, Worlds is tradtionally on all of the screens when it's broadcast at EU-friendly times and, no, no one gets "in trouble" for watching it - it's a cultural thing, but in addition people are trusted to use their time wisely and do the work they commit to on time without micro-management. My boss doesn't care if I am watching worlds at work as long as I get all my sprint work done each sprint.

it's understandable, i would definitely have gotten in trouble for it in previous jobs

I can't comment on what it's like in the LA office - I am not usually around LA during worlds time - but there have certainly been a few friday evenings like that in knockout stages in previous worlds in Dublin. A group of 20 or so people would order pizza and enjoy the knockouts together after work

It is. I wish more companies were like this. Riot is the first "big" company I've worked for, and many smaller companies do not have this same attitude, mostly because they try to be really corporate to compensate for their size
