Let's check what's going on in Script Writing room

AKA, how the plot is most likely to go, but, in comedic fashion

Writer 1: "We can't decide if we want 100 Thieves or Clutch Gaming in the playoffs."

Writer 2: "What if we have Flyquest in the mix as well?"

Writer 1: "Should we have 1 or 2 of the three teams then in the playoffs"

Writer 3: "I mean Echo Fox has a run going and have some momentum we can work with"

Writer 2: "Naw, Flyquest would make for some sick underdog stiff."

Writer 1: "I wonder what the Scriptwriters in EU are thinking?"

In EU EU Writer: "Vitality!!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE_O7Lm0I4

Back to NA

Writer 3: "K, scratch Echo Fox"

Writer 1: "If any of the teams make the playoffs, which teams should we pick off?"

Writer 3: "CLG can have nothing good happen to them let's pick them off"

Writer 2: "Nah let's cut them a break. Let's have the Golden Guardians collapse."

Writer 3: "My other candidate for collapse is Optic Gaming."

Writer 1: "Yeah we gave them a lifeline. If they blow up their opportunity, then we can write about their collapse. Once they fall to a .500 record we can work our magic."

Writer 2: "Agreed! We won't even bother to write a script for them. They'll either continue playing 2nd fiddle to the big three or collapse."

Writer 1: "Now how do we arrange the top teams?"

Writer 3: "Big three stays big 3. It's them to determine who is the apex predator."

Writer 1: "Wait! Let's have CLG turn it into the big 4! They have all of the qualifications to do so. An original pre franchise team. A European mid laner. Plus a myriad of memes."

Writer 3: "Sure, let's even revive their rivalry with TSM!"

Writer 1: "Let's throw in a chance of collapse in case they're not worthy."

Writer 2: "Last thing, should we have Liquid win 4 in a row, finish 4 this split, or finish 4th at worlds?"

Writer's 1 and 3: "It doesn't matter what you'll write. They keep winning."

Writer 2 secretly: "Perfect, my plan is in motion. Time to watch the League burn."
