LCK, LMS, LPL, etc. Make Fantasy even better.

I don't know if this is where this belongs, but it seemed right.

Would also appreciate a reply from a Red, if at all possible.

To the discussion: Should we have the other leagues, like LCK, LPL, LMS, etc. Added to the Fantasy system?

I think we should. Because yes, the LCS players are amazing, I love watching the players I picked up in their games. Yes it's called Fantasy LCS. But I would also love more.. variety. Instead of just NA and EU, we could create absolute dream teams! We could do things like have Bengi, Faker, and Piglet all on the same team, with someone like Yellowstar as a support, and Koro1 as a top laner. The amount of strategy that would suddenly become available would be huge!

It would also bring more exposure to the other regions, which would only serve to make it better. More fans for more teams, and more viewers on those streams late at night!

So what do you all think?

The problem with adding the other regions is that they don't use the same format as LCS. LPL has way more games than LCS and some teams won't be playing to same amount of games in a week as others. LCK has a Bo3 format where some teams could play 3 games in a week or just 2. So they would have to be seperate from the Fantasy LCS if those leagues were added to the Fantasy system. I would absolutely love to be able to draft Fantasy LPL or LCK teams but the chinese players would have an inherent advantage in being able to gain fantasy points if all the leagues were together the way NA and EU are.

This is very true. I didn't think of that. But maybe it would be good for a future consideration. I know there have been a lot of calls for Riot to change LCS to Bo3. So maybe standardizing the format across all leagues would be a good idea. It would give LCS teams a chance to be better practiced in Bo3/5 situations. We've seen that they can handle themselves in a single game format, but then they struggle in major events like Worlds.

Besides, it's too late in the season to add it now. Just something I would love to see considered in future.
