Does Anyone else think the LCS is rushed? I was so hyped for this season and I expected like cool intros for the games for NA as retired players from EU(Alex Ich) players coming from EU to NA(HUNI, REIGNOVER, FROGGEN) etc many more returns and Trades(CLG-DOUBLELIFT). Week 1 TSM VS CLG no cool Doublelift and CLG history Video similar to Hotshot and Reginald video at the 2015 summer finals between TSM and CLG, nope just some DL and Yellowstar eating food and BSing with each other. The same week TSM vs LIQUID same thing no Doublelift vs Piglet matchup nothing, remember when it was a rivalry between those two during the spring split of 2015 sure its been a year but c'mon man nothing.
This is the rundown of what it feels like watching the E-sports scene right now.

  1. LCS begins with Riot fist logo.
  2. Little video of like last week or a (SMALL) taste of the games for the day but no real hype to them.
  3. The Casters welcome the show talking about last week and games that are coming up
  4. Pick bans 10 mins game length 20 mins
  5. FIN It just feels like they want to hurry up start the show and end RIGHT ON TIME; ON THE DOT.
    I will talk more about the subject with people who comment, as my rant is getting long and no one will read it if its too long for them Just my thoughts on the matter

Don't worry. The Best-Of-One format is gone from LCS forever now. Next split NA is gonna have Best-of-Three and EU will be on Best-of-Two

I don't think the LCS is rushed at all, but the visual style of it I think was more appealing last years. Also, the general consensus is that Season VI is just not as good as V got to be, at least not yet.

Maybe they end up blowing their LCS load on the PTL episodes?

Not sure. But I've lately been finding myself watching more LCK and LPL, and far less for the LCS.
