Why LCS Academy is pointless, and not working.

Because NA is a bad region, if the NA LCS Starting team perform bad internationally. It makes all of NA looks bad, not just them or their team. ALL OF NA

And this cause an effect of "Why watch the Academy team if the LCS Team can't even perform". Thus create less attention for Academy team. The only Rookies that get attention from Academy team are players who get Utilize.

There's no Pre-Season for Rookies to be allow to play and show off their talent on the Main-Stage.

It's not like NFL where they have Pre-Season to show off their Rookies.

I think if NA LCS want to better the Academy team and make team utilize them better is, making them play some game that can impact or determine a team making Playoff.

Let's say each team must play their Academy team the first or few week of LCS game before playing their Main Team but still counts towards the Standing.

I mean let's be honest here. No one gives a shit about Academy because of the main LCS Team performing bad for the region.

I think GoldenGlue will actually be the support for the team instead.

The only way for such to improve is if LCS goes back to Best of 3's because teams would be more willing to give rookies/non-starting players opportunities if there were more games. Teams won't allow X player to play if there's only 18 games in the split.

I mean let's be honest here. No one gives a shit about Academy because of the main LCS Team performing bad for the region.

I mean, you ain't wrong.

Spot on with the GGS pickup. But I would at least acknowledge that GG has been a consistent top performer in Academy. I say he's far past due for another shot as a starter despite past beatings with less experience under the belt.

I honestly thought more to Dhokla in Optic's position in the Summer. How he was middling at best in Academy, got the chance, and didn't exactly get washed on the LCS stage. That's kinda an exception though as Optic used Academy for a proper and sound purpose unlike most of the other orgs not named C9.
