Its funny they've been comparing League to Basketball like forever and then they have like 4 Basketball team join the League LMAO
Riot would do this, its funny there's not even a Football team that made it or any other sport team, why Basketball team? XD
You know they wont be able to be called the same names as the basketball teams right XD
A moment of silence for Team Dignitas, Pheonix1, Team Envy, and especially Immortals. IMT, good luck in Overwatch, you will be missed in LoL Esports.
...I just hope that some of the better players from these teams (Ssumday, MikeYeung, Apollo, Olleh, Xmithie, Pobelter) are picked up by the new teams.
Is it a coincidence that the three most enduring NA LCS teams and the three most ridiculed NA LCS teams are staying while the middlemen got kicked out?
Regi needs to partner up with the Warriors. Maybe they can show TSM the correct way to go about winning a championship.
One thing I've noticed....Most of the teams have sponsors logos all over their jerseys...EU fanatics had about three and they are not even franchised over there. Having sponsor support would be great for all teams financially, so look forward to that helping the whole LoLesports grow.
Also hoping to see players in the challengers now academy being developed for future pro star slots, future player development is crucial and may be key to NA finally moving up worlds ranks in the future. (One can hope!)
Riot didn't want anything to do with anyone invested in OWL. Riot are control freaks, apparently. I'd pull out of Riot/LoL, too, if you tried telling me where I can and can't have eSports teams.
