So, What Would Be the Best Way to Show Displeasure at the LCS?

We're kind of at the point where nobody can solve the puzzle that is NA and why it's bad. I mean, everyone has their main reasons why, and as far as I can say, they're all true. Of course some of these things are going to be easier than others to solve (I mean, you want to fix the ping? You want to attempt a massive overhaul of the American telecom infrastructure? In a country this big and a government that's currently thumbing its nose at you at every turn? Good luck), but there are few solutions that isn't shot down by the next guy over. And as far as I can tell, the LCS front office and Riot itself has met us with either dispassionate silence or giggling contempt.

I think, then, the next step should be obvious: tell them how we really feel. Tell them that we think the LCS sucks as a brand and as a League and we deserve better.

Question is, what do we actually do? I had thrown out the idea of showing up to the LCS studio week 1 and just booing the hell out of everyone and everything as a random thought. Probably poorly thought out and written in a moment of emotion, but I'm not a big fan of deleting tweets unless they're absolutely egregious. I don't know, just something to get their attention.

Your plan is just asking to be barred from the venue.

imo, you can't do anything. You know why? Let me link you a video on the idea of "talent" and how much it means in a serious, professional setting.

TL;DR? The reason why I believe anyway, that regions like NA and EU are so 'scarce' in talent has nothing to do with how well the players perform-- it has to do with the fact that not a god damn person on a team in the west can take the game seriously enough to push through. Korean teams, chinese teams, eat, sleep, crap, breathe and DREAM Worlds. Whenever I'm watching LCS interviews it's all smack talk and beef and talking about how good or bad other players are, or BM or some other complete nonsense.

No one cares about the ACTUAL game, it's only popularity, fame, some cash. That's why they all roll over and die when they face a team with a REAL drive to play the game and win. In those circumstances, that team with drive comes off as intimidating if not downright scary.

Trying to organize Twitter trends and Reddit campaigns. Get at the teams too, especially the ones who have been around a long time. (TSM, C9, CLG,) Maybe even push back if individual pros speak against fan measures.
