How do you make an LCS team?

I've been playing the game since season 2 and I have been excited to be in this community ever since. For a while, I thought that it would be pretty fun to be a pro player but, time unfortunately will not allow me to take that path. For a while, I was fine with that. But the more I watched LCS, tournaments, and Worlds, the more I still wanted to be involved. At that point, I started to notice that owners were starting to appear and that there was much more infrastructure behind the teams I saw on a regular than a coach and the players. I don't think I have the ability to play on a pro stage, but I would love to help create the atmosphere for a group of kick-ass players. Is there anyone that could give me some insight into how owners become owners and if there is anything I can do to get into that circle?

the top 5 teams in Team 5v5 soloq, they have a chance to reach challenger after a promo tourney i think and i think rank1 team is auto entered (if they want to go) to challenger where the bottom 2 as per lcs 1 is auto-relegated the other goes to playoffs.

basically get yourself a coach, an anaylist and take the 5v5 ladder seriously then aim to break into the lcs from challenger series.

thats a really basic breakdown i have the info at home ill post it all when i get there

this is how unicorns of love did it, the captains dad owns the team and his son (the captain) helps run it, obviously lots of hard work finding sponsors etc and the guys dad was a business owner allready so he knew how to infastructure the team etc.

yeh what i said was correct, heres a breakdown.
