Riot and Tencent join to make an esports company called TJ Sports. Unsure what it means for now. | ||

- Riot announces a new website centred around NA LCS. - The NA LCS Players Association announces a new rule to ensure the Echo Fox fiasco of cutting players before deadlines don't occur again. - Riot match history team is up in the air. This change could be potentially crippling for third-party sites. | ||

I assume they want to build it into lolesports instead of it being a part of the league of legends section of league but they either don't know how to do it, or it requires more resources than riot wants to give them. In which case, just keep it how it is. Don't remove it for a couple months while you work on "an alternative" that takes forever. | ||

SKT joins with Comcast to create the new esports venture ,T1. Idk how to feel about this. On one hand, cool we may get more western access to Faker... but dropping SKT from SKT T1 sounds so wrong. They're rebranding a brand initialized by boxer that has been synonymous with winning for nearly 20 years? Yikes. Like buying Nike and calling it joes athletics or something. Just bizarre. | ||

Pretty sad about this  So much history lost. I'd prefer if at the very least the League team remained SKT T1 since Philadelphia is staying the same. Also, T1 is a pretty fucking boring name if you're gonna rename. | ||

I agree, T1 is a pretty boring name. What does it even mean, team 1? Never thought about it until now. | ||

It's a branding failure to delete SKT on its own... how can you drop the legacy ofiguys like iloveoov, Fantasy, Bisu from your brand? it's even more puzzling considering T1 is already a popular brand in the realm of western league of legends. Especially so considering the vitriol comcast as a brand creates. | ||

Also the vitriol over Comcast has been dying down a bit but the people who really don't like them tend to overlap with the reddit demographic/gamers. I've been hearing they are continuously trying to get more involved with esports and my bet is a non-trivial part of that is trying to change their image within the aforementioned communities. Oh and I guess it helps that the CEO's son likes gaming I also hated Comcast since they really did have shitty customer service when I first used them about 5 years ago. However since then I've had to use them several times more as I hopped apartment to apartment and customer service has gotten really good. Very anecdotal but have been hearing the same thing with most people I know who use comcast. I hope they and other companies have learned that it is much harder to fix a bad reputation than ruin a good one | ||

My picture of Comcast is painted by Reddit posts, since I don't live in the US. So I just thought it was funny seeing them pop in KR of all places. | ||
