After an hour, League games should go into overtime with 1v1 position based shootouts.

After eight weeks of play, one thing is clear about the European LCS: It’s in a bit of a hole right now. As in the Summer Split of Season 3, any team seems to be capable of taking games off one another. This on its own is not a bad thing, but it’s the way these games are being won and lost that is worrying. Let us be the ones to mention the elephant in the room: there isn’t a great team in the league - none of the teams look threatening to one another, let alone internationally. It’s a hard thing to balance. If there were a few teams crushing everybody, it becomes harder for the weaker teams to improve, or get a chance to. But without those unstoppable juggernauts, eventually those weaker teams won’t need to improve anymore and the league stagnates – we stay stuck at the same skill level. This is the time where teams need to push themselves that extra yard. Obvious slumps and weaknesses aside, the average skill level is rising, but the peak skill level is still lower than in the past. Yes Worlds are a long way off, but complacency now can come back to bite teams later on. With South Korea looming over us it’s very hard to be happy with what we’re seeing.
