RIOT sort of screwed Fantasty LCS

With EU and NA now having different formats, the point system is screwed. Not sure why they decided to have two different formats for each region considering they are both in the same fantasy LCS setup.

Example: In today's games TSM's ADC scored 23 pts (His most on the day) in their last game. Which doesn't count essentially as it was their third game. Effectively granting the opposing team, whose ADC lost both games, the win due to TSM's quicker games. Shouldn't the default be taking the two best games, not the two first games? Either way, aren't people more inclined in this case to take EU players making the drafting less important.

IDK this just seemed pretty odd to me, and frustrating as a Fantasy player. Now my carry who had over 45 pts in two good games, only provided me with 23 pts overall. Thoughts?

No, because that would be worse. If it was the best two games, then taking na players would be the best option period. They get 2-3 chances to make good points whereas EU players only get two. If you're getting that upset over it, then play the best game overall format next time, problem solved.

I dont like it either. I might've bought into a system that averages point totals across all games, or a system where you have two teams, an NA team composed of 5 and an EU team composed of 5 and have both your teams playing in a week. I honestly think, though a bit more complex, the latter system is a lot more fair considering the difference in the two leagues.
