I have been attending LCS games since 2013. Are you seriously telling me that when I travel out to watch live games that I have to choose between which teams I want see? That games are happening simultaneously! so I miss out on half the day's action? If I stay home and stream, I will need 2 monitors going? How are smaller/ less popular teams supposed to establish a following? What about the between game entertainment/ swag? Will SwagGuy be at both venues? If you think I am going to spend 6 hours on a plane to have to sit through 3 games of TSM just to see C9 , then not get to see Echofox or Renegades play because they will be in a broom closet somewhere- think again.

I'd like to know what is available at the concession. Those are long days. Thank you.

So now I have seen some games and the word that springs to mind is "smaller". It feels like the broadcast environment has retrograded to season 2. Less energy, fewer spectators. Boring. The shark has been jumped. This format is not going to facilitate the leap to mainstream.

It kills me that they have to explicitly tell people not to vape inside XD

Its my first time thinking about going to the LCS, so my question might sound dumb. I was just wondering if the tickets you buy can be used for multiple days?

I am a little pissed, I want to buy tickets ( on fcking ticketmaster, that piece of shit platform, I'd like to remind about Tragically Hip) but it tells me no tickets available. I stopped playing League already, if I can't go to this event I will stop watching as well..,
