Let them waste even more money.

Not like its been working out for them.


I agree its hilarious to watch an org spend that much money for no results. But the precedent is awful.

The precedent would be great. Would finally open some yes. I have been saying this might happen with the rules they have since last season.

People haven't really been mentioning this, but LD's current roster are the guys who stand to get the most screwed over by this. Would set a horrible precedent and take a lot of power away from the players if this becomes a standard practice by the big organizations.

Can anyone explain me what's going on? If NiP purchase LD's spot, Shylaya&co will play for NiP am i right?

Shlaya failed his own LCS qualfication hard, at an even earlier stage. It is beyond me how he deserves the spot any more than NiP players.

This whole situation just looks bad for Riot. Regardless of what happens, chances are you will have a team in the EU LCS that was unable to actually qualify through relegation.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.

Well, he's the one who's currently contracted by LD, whereas Nukeduck left LD for a different team. And after that showing today, hard to say Nukeduck is better than Shlaya. Neither of them played particularly well.

I guess the problem is more, if it's going to be the same 40-50 "best players EU" all shuffled around to different rosters every season, and even the ones who get knocked out in relegations just get rehired into different teams, then what's the point? It's far more exciting to see new (to LCS) faces like KMT, CW, and most of Lemondogs come in, and see how they do.

I'd much rather have a situation where LD bombs out, and loses their relegation match to NiP for the summer split, than have a situation where NiP just outright buys LD's spot for the spring split.

they should only be able to trade players, not freaking spots in the league.
those must be deserved by coming from the amateur series.


If some manager fails and his team disbands, a new team would go up.
Ofc, there should be penalties for dropping out midseason. For the managers, not the players, who are often under 20 and dont understand this stuff.

To put it a different way, it would be much better for the integrity and long-term survivability of the LCS if, instead of the current model where it's ok to purchase spots, there was an extra mini-tournament to fill the slot every time a team dropped out or was unable to field 5 players.

LD wants to drop out of the LCS? Great, invite NiP, SHC, MYM, and a 4th top challenger team to a "Last Chance" tournament where the winner gets the spot. More tournaments, more views, better storylines, more exposure, and less accusations of collusion. Everybody wins.

Spots should simply belong to the players that qualfied, not the organisations. Organisations can approach players and offer to sponsor them, but not get the LCS spot. If we had that LD players would have simply changed organisation from LD (which suck and dont pay much) to NiP.
Roster changes could only be done if majority of players on the team agree.

Zorozero statement.
https://www.facebook.com/ZorozeroLOL/posts/249941278502216

Would be such a shame if he retired. Best top laner EU.

I think what NiP should do is play in challenger tournaments and try to qualify for summer split. They could still go to worlds then.

Players thinking about retiring is also Riots fault, because they created this artificial rift between LCS and "amateur" games. They made all non-LCS play worthless.

Zoro should just open skype, because he is getting/will get offers from LCS teams for sure.

Listened to the games while on the car ride home, damn NiP chocked. Although I couldn't see, sounded like they just didn't adapt and played like crap. Also after listening to several hours of League without visuals, the play-by-play commentary honestly leaves a lot to be desired. I never knew who won the fight until it was well over. Really hard to turn the casting words into visuals in my mind.
