Riot has declared that intz/red candids are linked. One of the two teams are to be sold until it is proven there's no links between the two teams. Failure to do so will result in one of the two teams removed from CBLoL, Intz's directors are suspended for a year, all staff have their riot money taken away from them and given to the players. Image rights are stripped from the staff and will be handed over to the players. Tl;dr Revolta is rich yo | ||

I don't think this CIS team cost a million dollars, I don't think it even cost them 100k | ||

That seemed to be the going rate for NA LCS spots, but for the same reasons that players get paid less in EU teams I imagine EU LCS spots are worth less. | ||

I imagine a million is an estimate based on what Splyce paid for dig.eu's spot. Granted though Splyce's purchase came with the players while Vitality had to build a whole new roster so it's probably beneath that. Banditos beat the Polish national team *stunned silence* | ||

Because the lineup I'm expecting them to use based on several different factors (mainly Visas) is Feng, Beibei, Gate, Mash, Ken I think Gate is garbage personally but they're not even allowing him the chance to succeed shuffling him around. And the XD is official! | ||

Hell yes. When you can either be bog standard forgettably terrible or memorably terrible, gotta be memorable. Huh, it just hit me. Somehow, Impulse has managed to stay entirely of various Asian descent, from LMQ to now. Apollo and Rhux seem like exceptions at first glance, but Apollo's half Japanese and Rhux's half Filipino. Rhux also gets to serve the Token Black Man role, and I suppose Impulse's Black Dude Dies First entry, if we look at his subbing in for week 1 of last Spring in a certain way. | ||

Also, it's not hard to see why the Chinese eSports scene fails - * Too much drama * Poor practice environment * Players are too casual/lazy * Managers/coaches don't have enough control over players * Competition for talent from stream companies Same issue with American scene, actually. And it cuts across eSports, not just League of Legends. I'll just put this here, because I thought it was impressive that a Chinese professional gamer finally had the guts to lay it all out: http://www.gosugamers.net/hearthstone/news/33872-tiddlercelestial-the-chinese-players-are-far-less-professional-than-the-others He's talking about Hearthstone - lelz, I know - but even so, what he says here applies to all of Chinese eSports: We lost CN v EU, we lost CN v NA, nobody is in the Ro4 of WCA or BlizzCon. It boils down to one reason: we practise to little. We are far less professional than them. I don't think we can have a BlizzCon semi-finalist even we hand-pick 4 guys. The whole community practise very little. Had we had another CN v KR or CN v JP, we wouldn't win it anyway. They've made incredible improvements. For example, Lifecoach actually moved and lived with Thijs for five days before BlizzCon. They practised 12 hours a day. And another is that at Celestial Invitational, there was a Korean player (Shrink: Surrender, since he was the only Korean there) that hardly went out the hotel room. He just sit in his room playing the game. Even though he hasn't achieved much, the altitude that Koreans displayed by playing 10 hours a day is not what we can compare with. And this hard-working spirit is why Korea leads the way of e-Sports. | ||

Automatic relegation/promotion is gone, double elimination between 3 bottom LCS teams and 2 top CS teams is going to happen. LCS #10 vs CS #2 - loser is out, winner is going to the next round. LCS #8 vs the winner of the first game - winner is in LCS #9 vs CS #1 - winner is in Losers of the second day matches are going to play for the final spot. | ||

It's not quite a double elim as LCS 8/9 and CS1 just have to win 1 game to make it to LCS while LCS10 and CS2 have to win 2. This also means that fewer teams have the potential to be relegated per season as well as giving way more protection for LCS 8/9. Feel like removing auto-relegation is good but this solution makes it too hard on CS teams to actually make it up and too easy for LCS teams to stay. | ||
