Why is it that every promotional team video lately has a keyboard view? You see them smash one key like 5 times it looks stupid.

Since becoming an LCS owner I have been met with nothing but open arms from Riot to my fellow owners and fans. I am extremely grateful and thankful for the warm embrace that the eSports and LoL communities have given me. I plan to bring all my passion and energy to the community and expect that victories and titles for Team Echo Fox will follow.

This really puts into context Badawi's claim that the "Old Boys" club was doing everything it could to elbow out newcomers, huh?

Yeah but Rick Fox is a "big name", someone who they probably want in their business.
Note that I also don't really believe in the Old Boys club but Rick Fox isn't really a great example here.

Apparently Kori is on the Echo Fox roster and they rest I quote "Have a total of ten LCS/LMS/LCK/LPL matches between them"

Badawi was rocking the boat. For whatever reason, he didn't know to play nice to be accepted by a group.
Rick Fox's background enables him to know better. Actually, screw that, he doesn't even need the background. It should be common sense for someone who has worked in modern society enough to have the resources to buy a team to know these sort of things.

Kakao is mia and in his place is kid.

You see, I'd assume that Kakao wants a break or caught an STD from one of the many Namei/Spirit groupies but since it's iG you can't count out that this is actually happening

hopefully echo fox is bringing in new talent then, im tired of new teams picking up recycled garbage that have been proven losers. If they have a roster of no names ill probably support them, tired of teamliquid already with their unlikable players and stagnant talent

Up until the 2015 Summer Playoffs, TL was very much ascendant and a contender in NA; if TSM had beaten CLG in the Playoff Finals, TL would've gone to Worlds as NA's 2nd seed. Sure, they disappointed pretty massively in both the playoffs and the regional qualifier for the 3rd spot to Worlds, but dismissing a team entirely for a bad couple of weeks seems a little premature. TL could very well make top 3 in the coming split.

That said, I'm also rather sympathetic to Echo Fox. Due to how late they're coming in I have very little faith that "victories and titles for Team Echo Fox will follow", as Rick Fox put it, at least in the short term- but I do hope they bring in a fresh roster and do well.

TL making top 3 had more to do with the top teams imploding than TL being good. They basically never fixed any of their glaring issues in a whole year and at the end of the day the other teams managed to progress while they did not.

It also had to do with playing bo1 rather than bo5. Teams always put more effort in their practice in the playoffs.

sad thing is that the exact same thing applies to everyone not named CLG/C9 imo. TSM never really fixed their shit it was basically the same team playoffs/worlds. C9 actually improved while CLG simply managed to not choke for the first time in a while since they were still 'tied' for 1st in regular season lol.

Yea I can agree with you there. I think it's also tough to make certain changes like in TSM's case they badly needed to boot some players but because they didn't do it at the start of the year you basically can't do it until the seasons over in league. Makes it hard to fix issues if they player related.

I mean I agree the salaries are low now, but from what I can tell this was more or less the challenger standard in 2015 and ultimately challenger players weren't worth much until recently.

I think the contract is pretty bad in other areas though, ignoring the salary.

So what when working at university as junior researcher / PhD student I earned like 800 € in Germany. And I also had to pay rent / health insurance / food from that.
