Not even an IMT fan but this is bull.

Seriously. You kick a well run and popular team like immortals from the LCS for supporting other Esports but at the same time you let in.

A horribly run organization content with being terrible that also has its hands in the cookie jar of every game that could even conceivably be called an esport. (TL)

A thoroughly mediocre team with no fans that does just enough every split of avoid relegation. (FOX)

I mean really? This is like a level beyond idiotic, and I suspect that if you folks at Riot don't change your minds, its going to wind up shooting you in the foot right as this franchising business is about to get off the ground.

Fuck the LCS. Riot bends over to aid TSM as well as Liquid and dumps a team who made Worlds while surging back from #7 to the Summer Finals. This is garbage.

ESPN: More information has surfaced in regards to Immortals' declination. In addition to Immortals' role in the Overwatch League, sources close to Riot Games have contacted ESPN to express that Riot had concerns around Immortals' finances. The team has operated at a significant loss since its formation in late 2015, sources said, and would not be able to contribute to the revenue share -- which sees money go both to and from the developer and other teams.

They'll lose me. Not as some sort of petty vindictive thing. But because IMT is what got me genuinely interested in pro play. Oh I watched it haphazardly before. But I'm really not interested in TSM. C-9 kind of. Dig was a decent story this year. But they're out now too. CLG was blah. Just not interested. Liquid is junk. They weren't even trying to win. So not remotely interested in them. Fox. They try but still not that interested. So who is left for me to really care about? I did watch the other teams. But without IMT in there, I just don't have the same get up and go for watching.

The fact Riot felt threatened by OVERWATCH investment of all things really makes me question them. LCS has been a fiesta for a while but this is just too much.

the team was actually making a fanbase and putting up good results. Better kick them and keep echo fox and tl instead

IMT and FLY are the only NA teams I actually like, TSM is overhyped and TL is just bad. C9 are okay I guess but I don't really care about their players.
