I fear the day of the Bo4. But honestly, I think Bo1 is fine with the ten team format. Riot doesn't want to have weeks where TSM or another big team doesn't play. With the Bo1 system, you will see TSM every week. Meaning the viewers will be there for all fanbases. | ||

 The promotion tournament is tough, but maybe it helps players prepare for high pressure situations better. Curse Academy did well in the NA expansion tournament after losing in a reverse sweep against CLG :p | ||

That makes zero sense what if they only come last by one match and bam automatically gone. Then the 3rd place challenger teams wins a few games gets a shot at an lcs spot. That's crazy to me I think they should have a challenger playoff series that the last placed LCS team should automatically be in if the 1st challenger series team gets promoted | ||

That's crazy to me I think it's a change that had to be made and I fully support it. It's much more in line with other sports formats and it just makes sense, if you are 10th in the LCS, you should be replaced. it's pretty black and white to me. | ||

I love the idea of teams getting auto promoted just to promote growth and development and give challenger teams a guaranteed opportunity to make LCS, but I feel like the last-place LCS team should still get a chance to play for their spot. Just in the past split, there was a tiebreaker for last in EU and in NA, a game between the 7th/8th place team in the last week of the season that finalized the rankings - it can be very close. | ||
