The LCS esports is getting boring

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.

LCS begins with Riot fist logo.
Little video of like last week or a (SMALL) taste of the games for the day but no real hype to them.
The Casters welcome the show talking about last week and games that are coming up
Pick bans 10 mins game length 20 mins
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.

indeed but I enjoyed watching the whole show as it was I thought of it as Like a huge show like ( Super Bowl or Wrestlemania or something, now they will have like 3 different games on at the same time. They expanded from 8 lcs teams to 10 why; more action, competitive, I don't know but now it will seem like a waste. Lets be honest if Tsm C9 and Clg games are on the same time as Renegades and/or Dignitas-Team impulse games are on I feel like noone will watch those games because the more well known teams are playing so it will only be a matter of time until they end the best of 2-3s. In my opinion They will waste alot of money showing games that will have small views to them REN vs TIP if games like TSM vs CLG are on at the same time.

The post-day talk tends to extend quite a lot. There's been 40+ minutes of post-day talk at the desk. I don't think it's rushed really, but what could be happening is some games are just faster because of the crappy meta there's in place right now.

But I don't think it's thaaat fast, and the change in format is gonna do wonders for LCS. Watch a bit of LCK, you'll see what I mean. The big game up next should be** SKT** vs Samsung I think next week.

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.

THE PTL series is fun to watch but it feels like a Pee-wee's(phreak) adventure-story time. It just feels meh its like 60% jokes and 40% telling the people about the lcs games stats etc.
I started watching the PTL so I could find the LCS players All time stats on a leaderboards but I can't find it anywhere. ;[ So I looked up the players stats year by year and added them up myself now I have to order them in the correct order of their kills-Deaths-Assists etc.
