You're welcome.
The decision to limit eligibility in the Championship Series to players 17 and older isn’t based on any American standard. The Championship Series is a pro sports league and its players will be training and competing for most of the year, not just attending a few scattered weekend tournaments. Pro players will be living with their teams, traveling extensively and making an adult commitment to eSports. They need to be able to make decisions and sacrifices that require a high degree of maturity. Going pro is now a full-time job and one that requires a great deal of commitment. We believe that 17 is the appropriate minimum age for a player to operate at this level.

Where in the rulebook does it say the rule is because of maturity? I just see the no one under the age of 17?
edit: I see your next post has it thanks. Can't you work and live on your own at 16 these days?

So you would be ok with 12 year olds playing or what? An age limit makes sense. You dont want kids to completely throw away their primary education just becasue of playing in LCS for a year.

Those children have parents too.I don't see a problem with it honestly.Not to mention a lot of pros go to university while playing in lcs so not that big of a deal.Pobelter and goldenglue go to high school atm pretty sure.

Well a 12 year old would require the parents consent to do it. Don't really see what's wrong with your example. We live in a society where that actually happens in other spheres so why is it suddenly a bad thing for LCS? I mean there's child actors/singers etc.

I don't think anyone goes to university while doing LCS lol, it's 100% a full time job.

Bloodwater and ara did.Not sure about others.I am not saying you can do both easily but the choice should be there if you want to don't see a reason why it is a problem.

Don't exaggerate.
For example, here in Russia, you can work since 14 officially, not as much ofc, as in 18+ but still.
So, i don't see any problem for 16-years kids to play if they have parents permission.
Or like Pobelter, he was attending school and playing LCS, no problem.
And doesn't you finish school already in Europe in 16? I have no idea on it.

Think Pobelter did? I remember him being kicked from Curse because of his school commitments anyway.

Maybe in your society, I dont know. Pretty sure there are no full time child actors/singers in Germany.

Zionspartan carried coast to 2nd in Spring while still at highschool, he graduated early on in Summer.

I mean, I know it goes without saying with these being promo games, but the level of play in this match is really low compared to most of LCS.

Personally if I was a parent I wouldn't allow them to do it before graduating from school but like everything that should be the parents/childs decision I think. I mean sacrificing your education for a career that is going to last a few years at most is pretty dumb either way. If people want to be dumb then let them

Come now you just being silly. Plenty of 17 year old LCS players do both school and LCS. Nowhere did I say full time yet somehow that's all you respond to.

Also if people can play half time while attending school without a gaming house and win promos they deserve to be in lcs.Lcs is a 2 day job every week not a full time one pls.
