I like this one
"First, all substitutes must be currently ranked at Diamond V or above on the solo queue ranked ladder to be eligible for inclusion on an LCS roster. We want to encourage teams to field serious substitute players and limit the potential abuse of teams registering substitutes just to take advantage of the benefits and privileges of being an LCS team member.
Second, in the event of an emergency, a team will be given up to two hours from the scheduled game start to find an immediate substitute. Our previous policy was teams that could not field a full roster in time for their LCS match had to auto-forfeit. This is a new accommodation that stems from our goal to give teams the opportunity to field a team in the event of a legitimate, short term emergency.
"
I can imagine some diamond level player going to every single LCS and hoping an emergency comes up so he can hold up his hand and say "I'm eligible." or maybe they could use the 2 hours to find players from the audience who are at least diamond and have tryouts. darn now I want to see an emergency happen. in the real world it would probably be much more boring but I can always imagine

I think the main reason for that rule is to prevent using friends/girlfriends to fill out mandatory sub slots, which has happened in the past believe it or not

I only know of one case of this happening but that person actually did meet the requirement of being d5+
also to the people weirded out by the peripheral rules I think its good, its no secret that scripting is a huge huge deal and that its very easy to use them. I don't think any pro players are using them but this change to the ruleset will do a pretty good job at deterring the possibility of it being brought into the LCS.

I'm guessing that the "peripherals in vaults" thing is to avoid the problems that Counter Strike: Global Offensive had, where hacks and scripts could masquerade as drivers for the mice and keyboards that players were bringing to LANs. They could (reportedly) store these programs on their peripherals themselves and then load them onto the computer without anyone knowing.
Oh that makes sense. I thought they were trying to prevent someone from using their keyboard-katana to murder their opponents

I like the new pace of the patchs, 2 weeks is enough to see if something utterly broken

I don't think anyone thinks the peripheral rules is a bad idea, but it seems sort of from left field.

I seem to remember it happening to GGU in 2013 Spring. His name was Fat and he played toplane with Zion mid? Might be mistaken.

Last season, a game publisher requested to sponsor an LCS team and have that team officially promote a competing game. We communicated to owners that given our goals and investment in growing the LCS, it would be counter-productive if LCS teams and players were sponsored by Riot Games' competitors.
This year, we are transitioning into an official policy for the sake of transparency, since we'd like to be open about our stance on this topic.
The LCS is a core experience for League of Legends players and Riot Games. It serves as a platform for and celebration of some of the very best that League of Legends has to offer. While there are many great games out there -- and we play many of them ourselves -- we don't believe it's in the interest of the LCS to have the League used as an advertising platform by competing games, publishers, etc. To clarify, we are totally cool with LCS pros casually playing and streaming video games of their choice in their free time. Haha that's interesting, i missed that completely (if it was known already), anyone has more information about this? Other than that Riot will become KESPA2 soon, i like it
i think they are talking about EG and Alliance being sponsored by planetside2

They're terrified of anything like the CS:GO business making it into the LCS, and with good reason. Riot's even more strongly invested in LCS than Valve is in any CS:GO pro scene.

It is a very logical rule, but it sounds ridiculous when literally spelled out.
It's what happens when you try to codify common sense and make it legally binding. In League's younger days it would've been just "yo dawg don't cheat and if you do we'll boot you" but now since they fine people and have Real Sponsors you probably have to have be more exacting.

Well, I don't like the peripheral thing. I realize it might be different for mice and keyboards, but at least with my controllers, I need to use them for at least a few weeks before they feel good to use. Brand new ones break my fingers.
Also, what about players who like and use equipment that is no longer sold and out of production?
