But with that billionaire's son that owns IG and those other crazy sponsorships there is a lot of money floating around and those people might not even care about return of investment. In any case I believe the pros will profit from it. Those going to China will make bank, and for those in Korea Kespa will have to improve conditions and salary if they dont want them to leave as well. | ||

Richest guy in China is the founder of Alibaba after he floated his company on the stock market. Think his name is Jack Ma or smth. EDIT: nvm i just saw the tweet Anyway changing Korea to a LCS format is fcking stupid as hell, now we get the same boring splits and no winter competetion. Regardless of who changed it (and I would be very surprised if Riot didn't have a say in it) it was a dumb decision. I hope this doesn't result in the effects Blizzard did for the SC2 scene. Also LEGENDARY quote from the article: "When I make friends I don't care if they have money or not, no one's going to have more money than me anyway. | ||

Update from kespa, potentially 10 teams for Summer dependent on how the sponsors pan out. There will be a separate challenger league from secondary league, the challenger league will be ran by rito and NGTV (The NLB guys) and may include a promotion or draft system while the secondary league will be for any player on the 8 teams in champions' 10 man roster, there will be no restriction either way. More foreign appeal, more streams and more China. http://en.intelextrememasters.com/season9/sanjose/poll/ Voting open for IEM San Jose NA: EG/T8/C9/Crs/Dig/CLG EU: UoL/Copenhagen Puppies/SK/Soon the be MYM hot crew | ||

And I'd probably agree with him. | ||

And my point is that regardless of what the roster is he (and you it seems) will call them shit. Without any actual knowledge about their level of play. Just because of last seasons placement I assume, which tells us almost nothing. After all we are looking at a Gambit roster that might be changed on 3/5 positions. Arguably their 3 weakest positions, which might make them a top contender in EU LCS. | ||
