Question of curiosity: Why no lawsuit?

LCS. League Championship Series. That sounds familiar. Where have I heard that before...?

Ah yes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_Championship_Series

Now I'm no baseball fan, but baseball is a much bigger deal internationally than League... and the WWF had to change its name when the World Wildlife Fund of all things sued them. So I have to wonder why the MLB hasn't sued yet? League's pro scene is evidently a big deal now. I hear fans, players and Rioters boasting about it all the time. How the sport has been legitimized. How the masses are being forced to recognize its gravitas. How it's a bigger deal than many traditional sports now. The "wave of the future", they say.

So I find it a bit curious that there's no lawsuit. If there were a lawsuit, I wonder what they'd change the name to?

(Interesting side note: For some reason, there's no alternate link or disambiguation page on the LCS Wikipedia page.)

Because it's not "League Championship Series", it's the "League of Legends Championship Series".

Let's count it as a good thing that there's not another pointless lawsuit.

There is also the matter of MLB has the ALCS and NLCS. Meanwhile Riot runs the NA LCS and EU LCS. It's little things like that which probably keep MLB from even wanting to bother.

They might not care honestly, who watches baseball anyways ?

Why sue over audience being bigger?
