Yeah, that's the idea.

No idea about C9's significance. It just sounds nice.

technically Jack isn't TSM's GM anymore, so they're not exactly under the same management...

By the way, Riot's stupid "No teams under the same brand" rule is probably a reason that the scenes aren't developing. TSM + TSM II (with both in the LCS) would mean you have real scrim partners that can be trusted not to leak.

I understand it, TSM vs TSM doesn't make for an exciting finals and teams with less money and resources have a significant disadvantage. I just think it's bullshit that Korea gets a free pass while NA and EU aren't allowed to have B-teams.

Korea already has a developed eSports scene though; I think Riot wants to try and coax more sponsor into the Western markets.

It'd be really dumb for Riot to tell Koreans they can't do what they were already doing for SC and for the start of League. But it's just as dumb to allow something that makes teams far stronger in one region but then go and ban it in other regions. Handicapping regions just to bring in more sponsors seems silly to me.

Is there really a rule against teams having B teams?

Or is the rule just against the B teams competing in the LCS?

Couldn't an organization have a B team living in their house / scrimming with them / streaming / etc, and just use them as substitute players in the LCS model rather than having them compete as an LCS team?

LCS = pays for your team to be a team

So the complaint is more like "Riot isn't paying people enough" then?

I thought we were happy that they were paying people at all, when did we all get angry about this?

Riot most likely doesn't want more than one team under one organization, because of the possibility of poaching between the organizations.

That's not the complaint at all. The complaint is that there is not enough structure in place for growth of new talent in the NA scene or enough support to encourage existing amateur teams in NA. However way you want to phrase it.

You can probably ask gtrsrs for his thoughts on this. I'm pretty sure he would agree with the above.

Curse has Curse academy that I think most of the players are too young for LCS so the rule seems to be can't have multiple teams in the LCS.
