Will LCS Fantasy still exist in Summer? (Bo2s and Bo3s)

With the LCS moving onto Best of 3 for NA and Best of 2 for EU, will Fantasy LCS still exist? I could imagine a scenario where only the first two games of the Bo3s are used to evaluate points towards each week in order to make NA and EU equivalent; basically excluding the 3rd (tiebreaker) game as the tiebreakers at the end of the split are not included. Similar concept but applied w/ a stretch. If not, how will the points be calculated given the discrepancy b/w games played in each region per series?

Also, since we are moving to a Best of x format, would adding LCK be a possibility as well?

LCK Korea does Best of 3 as well so all 4 regions should be counted for fantasy, that would be cool to see and add more diversity than just picking the same players year by year. I think they will only count the first 2 games for fantasy.
Something that piss me off is when X player is expected to have the stats of 7-2-4-770 and you pick them up KNOWING they will have better stats like 14-2-8-890 but you don't get extra points off what was expected of their stats, think that should be counted into the points.
If they are expected to get 10 points and they get 30- you should get 0.20 points or just 20 flat points.
Just my thoughts

Great question. It is something that has been on my mind as well. And it is probably just going to be like you said where they exclude game 3. Otherwise NA players will certainly be more valuable than EU players.

I also think it would be interesting to add other regions as well, however it'll be a bit more boring and less strategic as every team in your league is gonna be overly stacked.

I do a weekly Fantasy LCS podcast for anyone who is interested on the numbers and predictions or even if you want to follow our personal fantasy league as well. Here's the link to our last ep. New ep will be shot and uploaded tonight. All In Fantasy LCS Podcast

Its solution to divide sum stats by games. So stats are normalized for LCK, EU and NA.

They have a promotion going on. Winner of league will receive 3500RP/5000RP depending on how many teams in the league
