Team Liquid Substitutions?

So...Are we just royally screwed for picking players from Team Liquid or Hai/Bunny for our teams? Since they are apart or flexible rosters they could be played on Saturday but not on Sunday. Are just absolutely screwed if we have them on our starting roster and they don't get played? That's kinda not fair.

Couldn't there just be a automated feature that make roster swaps for you during a LCS week? You have already chosen a jungler for a specific team... If that team chooses to change junglers mid week, wouldn't it make sense that the same change is done in your fantasy team? The way it's set up now, it's too big of a risk to choose TL players.

Fenix and Piglet are too talented to be subbed out in any game, expect them to play every game as long as there is any contention to their standings.

I would stash IWDominate in a deep league because he's also a solid talent and was their original shotcaller, so he should end up being part of starting team sooner rather than later.

I don't think it's unfair at all. You knew the risks in drafting TL coming into the split, they announced a 10 man roster well in advance of the draft. However, I think a daily lineup setup option should have been integrated in the system.

Why doesn't Rito implement a rule where each week rosters have to be locked and made public by Monday for EULCS and Wednesday for NALCS teams. Then people in the Fantasy can make sure they have the right people on their starting line-up.

It does suck with the substitutions, but it is fantasy... You take the risk by playing players who have subs and are trying to compete with those spots on the starting rosters. Its like in fantasy football, if a player is doing terrible they arent going to keep him in. They will put in there back up. Sucks for the person who started him, but thats just what happens :/

Time to invest in some better more reliable players. The nice thing about it being early in the split is that you just say many good players shine against some of the better teams. Might look into KiwiKid (supporting Apollo this year has a lot of potential and isnt pickup in many leagues) or Konkwon.

Good luck

I think you can still pick players of team liquid. Since Piglet and Fenix are main picks for team liquid you can definitely pick them up. The thing is though since piglet is doing so good i would love to pick up a TL support. But thats where the problem comes in. For now i picked Vander as a support since H2K is doing really good right now. But thats only since Adrien has ben picked by someone else.{{summoner:17}}

i reckon Piglet and Fenix will be mainstays. The only likely swap amongst these two would be fabbbyyyy for piglet. But then i have a back up in steeeelback :) not worried

It's a bit of a mess but I was lucky to be able to draft around TL (which is annoying since I'm a TL fan and it feels like you almost have to.

Summer split I don't even know how Fantasy LCS is going to work (assuming it is). They will have to completely redo it because chances are they will rule change to make it like LCK where they can change a player between games not just between days like with best of 1. Fantasy LCS will be pointless as you will have the TL issues, Issues like between Hai and Bunny, etc.

Will be a complete mess they didn't think about (and likely aren't too worried about to be fair, but still).

same thing happened to Impact from team NRG....

They have a 10 man roster, investing in any TL player would sorta be pointless as they can just change it up by next game. Even then, why would you get Liquid players haha
