I don't follow the scene, but holy shit Riot is fucking stupid for not giving Immortals an NALCS franchise partially because of IMT's buy into an Overwatch franchise. Story still developing.

Rick Fox vs a random collection of investors.
Rick Fox wins.
Also, looks like they are shitty with money.
I don't understand why anyone would bother investing in the OWL, blizzard have shown they suck at esports. They bungled starcraft 2, they bungled HOTS, their overwatch approach is rubbish - very few people give a fuck about competitive OW, they don't understand internally what makes something a good esport.
I mean overwatch is still really fucking popular. League is a perfect example that your gameplay doesn't even have to be spectator friendly for a game to be crazy popular. It's not like riot isgreat at figuring out what makes a good esport either, their tourney formats tend to be awful, they try to control the meta way too much and they constantly have shady business practices that hang over them but league is still the most popular game by a mile.
Funny, I was thinking about playing a bit of league again or some SC2 or something, but league just put another ghostcrawler patch out lol. Slowly driving another game into the ground.
Fuck you.
You aren't contributing anything and you're bumping VERY old threads. Fucking quit it.
Fuck you.
Coming to Xbox and Gamepass. If you sub the gamepass version, all heroes are unlocked.
oh shit thats kinda nuts they were able to pull off this deal.
Worlds will be at Madison Square garden for 3 weeks this October and I'm trying to find info on when tickets are available for purchase. Anyone have experience with riots ticket sales practices? My Google fu is failing me.
And so NA League is going to die - despite being a literal corpse at MSI.
NA LCS players association is striking against the owners/Riot. Riot earlier this year eliminated the need for teams to field an Challenger's league team resulting in 7 of 10 teams disbanding their respective Challenger League teams.

Also Riot has removed all rank and location requirements to play in LCS as Riot/orgs are trying to get scabs to cross the virtual picket line.

The memes and reaction around this is hilarious though lol
We might literally get a CaptainFlowers casting a Bronze tier official match ahahahaha

I haven't really been paying attention to the scene, how did NA LoL get this bad? Is this cause there's no relegation anymore?
No regulation + bloated contracts to select vets + no contracts for up-and-coming players = shitshow. Deregulation always only benefits the shareholders; never the scene itself.
