Petition to keep TDK in NA LCS

Great Pyrenees·7/26/2015, 10:35:19 PM·9 votes·2,163 views

Due to circumstances outside of their control TDK was dealt a unfair chance this split. Yet when the team was finally able to compete together they gave us hands down the most exciting games (And wins) of the entire split. If you agree there is a place in NA for a team with such passion and excellent play then share your thoughts!

I suppose if you want to show your support, you can always buy the summoner icon.

I just hope they stay together in CS, and don't split up due to this season. Between Wickd's Hurricane Gnar and TDK, I'm gonna need to watch more Challenger Series next season.

It wouldn't be fair to the challenger teams to change it this late. However, I do think it brings up a serious point about the issues w/ visas. This is a pretty common problem for teams and I don't really get it. I'm not really sure how visas work (looked at emigrating from the U.S. a couple times so I know the requirements some other places), but I had thought that in the U.S. you could get a work visa if a company sponsored you. Clearly this isn't right if teams keep having so much trouble (otherwise they'd just sponsor players as their employees and get the visas). If anyone can explain that'd be great and it definitely brings up the issue of riot needing to be more involved in helping teams get their players here and dealing with visa issues.

Definitely, they've shown that they can take down the top teams. I hope to see them return with their full comp so they can give us a real season.

Nah I don't like them. Also, they have way too many asians in their team.

It sucks. but the Challenger Series guarantees a spot in the LCS for whoever wins. TDK had their shot, they will come back for season 6 if they are truly LCS worthy.

they should stay and team8 should be relegated. team8 and nme are both boring as fk to watch

I think Riot can make an exception for TDK. They cannot allow TDK to play in the next season by default. But instead of auto-relegating them, they can let them play a Bo5 series with the team that they are supposed to be replaced with. Given the circumstances, I think that's a fair deal for both teams.

What were the circumstances, if you don't mind me asking?
