EPTIMT, TSM, C9, TL, and CLG are guaranteed spots. GSW and Optic are probably in too. That leaves 3 spots. I am very doubtful that P1, EF, or FLY would make it, but EF might because of the Fox connection and how good they are to their players.

Since then they've changed players and owners, keeping no tie to their roots, while having accomplished nothing, getting relegated and buying their way back in, had no fans, and are basically only known for baron throws.

Literally an entirely different org that kept the name because of branding. | ||

Dig is the old Coast basically. They bought both Coasts slot and Digs brand name but went with Dig since it was more established. I don't know how good this new Dig organisation is but it is surprising they'd be declined after a pretty good year. | ||

EDIT: Optimus leaves the Marines, which is a huge blow to the squad. Had really hoped they'd stay together and take on 2018. Best of luck to Optimus wherever he goes | ||

Teams that weren't part of the LCS before pay 13m to get in instead of 10m. The extra 3m is pooled together and divied out to the teams that were in the LCS and didn't make the cut. Teams with contract beyond this year have a period of time that they have to sell those contracts to be able to collect form the pool. | ||

For example if only 2 teams were leaving 1 was new summer split and one had been around for 3 splits. They would split the pool 25/75 So far all 3 known relegated teams are 3 split teams | ||

They have finanicial backing, success and history in league. The old dignitas could have claimed the same things but since this new one is merely the Dignitas name on the Coast team it really can't claim that at all. I think a lot of people don't realize that this team isn't the same as the old Dignitas. TL has shit the bed when it comes to performance but Coast has never performed. They had one season with Apex doing alright and now an alright Dignitas team. If you judging based on that I don't see how they are in a better position than TL. ps: I must admit I'm kind of happy teams that just cashed in last minute with all this VC money are being booted for other new teams with VC money. Got some karma going lol. | ||
