LinoWidge·10/18/2017, 2:52:38 AM·1 votes·679 views

After all the news this this week about who is & isn't being accepted into the new franchised NA LCS, I thought I would keep a post to keep track of all of this.

STAYING IN: Team Solo Mid Cloud9 Counter Logic Gaming Team Liquid Echo Fox Flyquest

NEW TEAMS: OpTic Unnamed team owned by the Golden State Warriors Unnamed team owned by the Cleveland Cavaliers Unnamed team owned by the Houston Rockets

OUT: Team Dignitas Phoenix 1 Team EnVy Immortals

REJECTED: Fnatic Splyce Misfits EUnited Gold Coin United G2

I've heard that Tempo Storm, NRG & Luminosity were rejected, but I've also heard that none of these orgs even applied... If any one has more precise info on these teams & weather or not they applied that would be helpful...

If anyone hears more news post it on here.

At any rate NA is gonna look very different next year.

I keep hearing talks about EU teams moving to NA. Specifically G2. I wonder what will happen if anything with the import rules for NA. Do those go out the window during this franchise change. Also when will Jensen, Bjerg, Piglet, and Impact be considered NA non imports? I ask because I feel that this franchising is going to attract players from other regions and NA players are going to have a tough time competing.

Bjerg is not considered an import anymore. Reginald has got his way on that. Makes no sense considering Piglet is still considered an import.
