LCS format update 3 days of games (4 on Saturday/4 on Sunday/2 Monday Night) New Playoffs format (different for Spring and Summer) Personally not a fan of the new Summer format. 8 teams getting to the playoffs in a 10 team league is stupid. | |||

They are also finally introducing a losers bracket, personally I hope they start experimenting with that in international tournaments since there are so few of these and it makes it suck so much more to see your favorite team(s) get knocked out early with no chance of redemption. 8 teams in Summer playoffs is weird indeed, I guess they just want to let more bottom teams have a better shot at making playoffs. It would help with their brand if they can claim that they made playoffs and possibly get an upset Bo5 win. LCS games are now spread out over 3 days because they want to intertwine academy games within it. Don't really like that, would have received the news better if more LCS games were played as well but we still only get 18 Bo1s in a split. At least the Academy games are still grouped together in the same day so we can skip them if we don't to watch them. There is also this weird tidbit of info concerning live games: "Tickets to watch games at the LCS during the 2020 Spring Split regular season are only available for Saturdays and Sundays at the LCS Studios. Monday games will continue to be held in front of a live audience but tickets are not available for public sale." Not sure what that implies, is it only open to Rioters and players' friends/relatives? | |||

Playoffs is a mixed bag. Hurray double elim(or at least a semblence of it) but why does the team that comes out of the winner's bracket not get an elim credit? | |||

Personally not a fan of the new Summer format. 8 teams getting to the playoffs in a 10 team league is stupid. That discourages playing well in the regular season because you can still technically win the whole thing and make it to Worlds, so stupid. If you end 8th in the regular season you don't deserve to even have a chance. That said, the loser bracket is a good step forward. And Worlds spots being decided by only Summer is kind of good, although imo I found people exaggerating the problem of teams falling off a cliff between seasons (did see it in NA though). | |||

The major leagues have announced their starting times: LoL Esports kicks off on January 13th with the LPL and a juicy matchup with FPX vs iG. LEC starts on the 24th of January with G2 vs MAD Lions (replaced/name changed Splyce), LCS starts on the 25th of January with TL vs C9. Finally, the LCK is holding out until the 5th of February. The schedule for the LCK has not been announced yet. The calendar is updated for the first 4 weeks of LCS/LPL/LEC. | |||

Also, Jackey hasn't revealed what team he's on, iG haven't listed him on starting roster. Rumours that he's going to be on RNG have sprung up, since Uzi's old man hands are a serious concern for him. | |||

And that environment turns Forg1ven into a toxic dickhead. | |||

Well, I actually am surprised, but only because it happened so early. On February 14 2020 03:01 DarkCore wrote: But I think in this current story, it sounds like Forg1ven is fighting against a team which is interested in building up their brand, and being a top team comes second What do you mean by prioritizing brandbuilding? Something related to team environment or just prefering to sign players who are more marketable but not necessarily better? | |||
