Hello, I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVED fantasy LCS and even though I lost my league : ( I had a great time and it was a fantastic way for me to stay in touch with my friends.
I was wondering if there were any plans to have a fantasy season just for the world championships? Being able to create a team from the best players in the whole world and not just NA and EU would make fantasy even better.
the points would be too inconsistent for example a team gets knocked out and you lose a player you get no more points for that week and someone who has a player on the winning team does and has a clear advantage
I think there is a bracket thing that is in the works. Which would be much better than a fantasy league.
There's going to be a huge fight for Faker, lol. In all honesty though, I would like to see this happen (I missed out on the first one since I don't have any LoL friends to play fantasy with...), but I feel like this might just turn into Korean Fantasy League (unless you're a really loyal TSM fan, or something). It'd be fun though!
Prior to coming into this year's LCS, I knew nothing about League. Even when I drafted my fantasy team, I might have been playing for a week or two at most and had yet to see an LCS match. Essentially, I drafted entirely around projections.
Lo and behold I lost my league, but it was still a fun modifier to a traditional LCS viewing experience. If I had been playing for a large reward on the line, I might have felt differently about the whole thing, but overall it was just...enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
For me, that anecdote relates because I would have no idea who to take for Worlds. But that's ok! There is this weird allure that would allow me to enjoy a team made up of people I know nothing about, understanding that I would be learning about them as the tournament progressed. Not everyone will agree with that, and they shouldn't, but if I'm only playing for bragging rights then I wouldn't have any qualms doing a Worlds league.
However, that lack of knowledge can present itself as a potential barrier in many cases, so it would be something to consider when deciding whether or not a fantasy league for Worlds is feasible.
