I forgot to put mine in the OP :( so I'll put it here.
I'm hoping to promote a meta shift by way of reducing the reliance on flash and promoting more variety in Summoner spell selection.
To do this I am planning on creating a Prize pool of $1000 for NA LCS teams that are willing to compete in the LCS without anyone on their team taking flash. The prize pool I'm hoping will promote teams to try new strategies (even though the prize is small) to try to change up the way the game is played.
If I am allowed to do this (need an ok from Riot, currently asking @RiotMagus for more info) I would open up the pool so that others can put more money in the pool to try to get teams to change things up some more. If no team can achieve the requirements then the prize will be left for Worlds, if no team can still do it the prize will then transition to next years LCS.
Present requirement concept to get the prize money:
- No member of the team may take flashe during the match
- The team must win a minimum of 3 matches without having flash on the team
- If they compete in this I want them to after the event state their thoughts on the strategies that they came up with. (youtube video)
- In the event of a tie (3 wins each) the team with the most wins this way gets the prize money
- If there is still a tie the team with the most points gets the prize money
- If still a tie the teams can opt to either divide the prize money between the teams or Play matches against each other until there is a victor.
