the only true downside to chinese teams is they aren't always consistent and so unexpected results is always in play

League of Legends Championship Series: Season 7
- Thread starter Newt
- Start date
I agree with there being more accessability for non-core market teams to get to Worlds, but there has to be a better way.
This whole qualifiying run has generated fatigue.
i like that there are more games, and from smaller regions too
you can just not watch those games, don't really affect worlds as you know it in any way
I would be so happy if China finally wins a Worlds instead of Korea. -_-
i mostly hope china finally shows up, tho it does feel like every region except for korea is a step down from last year

China looks stronger than last year imo. Those Chinese teams played really badly. EU is still whatever, guess they got better since they don't have Splyce this time. NA looks good with TSM, Immortals and C9. LMS stayed the same. I'm excited for this Worlds.

Minor league stupidity. If WE engages they lose team fight. So let's engage so we lose

Congrats. Specially after all the underserved hype Gambit had.
This isn't Worlds related, so I guess I'll post it in this thread, but it looks like DIG did not get a spot in NA LCS.

With Perkz saying that G2 won't be playing as the same guys anymore; there is also a possibility that G2 might actually get an NA franchise spot. Since G2 was rumored to have been accepted into phase 2.

Travis Gafford posted a video on what he thought was the reason why IMT didn't get in earlier today:

Based on the ESPN's follow-up reporting, seems like he was right on the mark. Riot was concerned about IMT's lack of sponsorship history and their financials may have spooked them.

The saddest thing is that Echo Fox was against franchising while IMT was in favour.
I think that might be actual honest-to-goodness irony.

Echo Fox, or rather Rick Fox, was not against franchising. He just didn't sign the letter the other owners did.
Also congratulations to TSM for winning Spring 2018; guess IMT should have realized that Riot is extremely petty and that having LA be your place for Overwatch was a death sentence for your franchise application.
idk if that's being petty, they just don't want immortals to fund their overwatch stadium thingie using league money
Is this a meme? You know Riot complained about teams using the money they make from League to fund other esports a while ago? Then the owners blasted them for being out of touch. Riot has a long history of being petty shits: they didn't want LCS pros streaming anything but LoL at first; they didn't want TSM to have any HTC sponsored videos on their youtube channel, anything related to Monte. The whole point of teams pushing for franchising is because LCS is a huge money pit and at the very least they hope that franchising would be the start of profitability, because with a $10 million investment it better be.
Also IMT isn't the only current LCS team that invested in Overwatch; C9 (London) did as well. Granted I feel like investing into Overwatch is a mistake because it just doesn't seem to be a very good spectator game.
Is this also the worlds thread? Do we expect SKT to win it all again? I thought they would love to LZ in the finals, but even though SSG beat LZ I think SKT has a better chance
for worlds we have this other thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1434314
and yea, you don't bet against skt
