Dear Community and Riot,
Why is it that the NA LCS and the EU LCS on play one game per week. In the LPL and OGN they play Best of 3's putting them at an advantage come times for the World Competition. I would just like to know why you haven't switch to the Best of 3's format in order to make the field more even come time for the World Competition.

The LCSs play 2 games a week per team. But Bo3s just take too long for the Western audience.
LPL actually don´t do best of 3, they just play 2 games - 2:0 is 3 points, 1:1 1 point and 0:2 0 points...leading to a very close competition currently. I guess it´s mostly a time issue though...they need 3 days of ~12hours broadcast to cover the LPL, if you´d do the same for EU and NA they can almost start a 24h daily broadcast.
Want what riot will tell you?
The set up and clean up takes long.
The Profit margins dont support it.
People get bored and stop watching.
As it stands now you have EUCS NACS EULCS NALCS that are already being covored if they added much more they would be streaming 7 days a weak 15+ hours a day.
TLDR; Its not Feasible
Hope this helps,
You So Bad
Yeah I love China's set up in particular, but I don't want only half of the teams playing each day. LCS is good right now because everybody plays everyday
