When TL Academy is doing better than TL

TL Academy is already off to a winning start in their struggle to make it into the LCS, but I have a question

If TL Academy wins the NA Challenger...why don't they just replace the struggling TL line up? If they won, that would mean TL Academy and TL would be the same organization but in the same region. That doesn't make sense to me.

If an organization or person owns two teams in any of the major 5 regions, one has to be sold, like Dignitas EU (now Splyce) or Curse Academy -> Gravity -> Echo Fox.

TL Academy is doing better in the Challenger Series, which is naturally weaker than LCS, and they've also only played one game. TL also has two (likely) high-salary Koreans that you can't really get rid of.

One slot would have to be sold off to other ownership if both were in the LCS.

Piglet has been very solid this split. I felt sorry for him and was glad to see him finally get a win.

Inthink dardoch has been good but the rest of the team is meh.
