Are there any plans or talk or anything about taking NA LCS and having states have their own respective teams similar to Football or other professional sports? Especially with franchising and the fact that 50% of the new NA LCS teams are already owned at least in some part by professional North American sports owners. I think that would be a really cool thing to have.
ChompyWulf2 votesNowhere near enough skilled players in NA to fill 32 rosters. Even taking into account up to 64 import players, you're talking about at least 128 NA players to fill out 32 teams to have 5 man squads with one sub. There would be so many players and teams getting dumpstered by teams that right now are mid level at best that the whole thing would be an awful clown fiesta of bad and worse teams with a handful legit contenders. It'd be like the NBA where basically anyone with half a brain knows there's about four teams who might be able to win it all and the other 20+ teams are filler wasting time.

ChompyWulf1 votesIf you really think that, you don't know what you're watching in a pro match. There is often a fight where one player makes some great plays and wins the fight, but what separates the best teams from the worst ones is teamwork, communicating, warding, rotating, champion synergy, team priority....it's rarely just one player carrying. Even in cases like GAM's crazy first match against Fnatic, Levi could not have taken control of that match without the rest of his team doing their part in a larger strategy.
archerno11 votes32 teams? Ya crazy man? Thats way too much. Also NA isnt just united states
III BAKURYU III 1 votesIn the future maybe but we also have to look at the cost of doing so also. Decisions like that aren't being fueled by candy dude, it cost money. Also, if NA keeps up with being garbage outside of NA do you honestly see fans or many years of NA/League being really considered a must watch game in the future? League right now are in a tight spot with other games for views and attention with Overwatch and overall, just plain and simple people doing other things other than league at the moment, to spend their attention to a 1 decided game.
All 10 NA teams are in California right and yet, like 70% of the population doesn't even really support, watch or care about(EF, NV, TL, the bottom half teams) so, separating them into different states isn't a move that will make a mark on fan support when 1 state doesn't even care about those teams.
