Your breakdowns of LoL topics are actually so nuanced while still being concise and entertaining, I appreciate it

Different type of video to be on the main channel but I really enjoy it, the almost podcast-like content you’ve been doing recently is really good, hope to see more soon

I think a very simple way to appease fans would be to make the first championships happen in Brazil. Bring the LCS teams to South America, roll out the read carpet, make it an enormous event. You get to reduce fears that it will be NA-centric by making the first big event happen in their home turf, it's good for optics if you can fill out a huge stadium (more likely in Brazil than in NA), and the LCS teams get the fun experience of competing somewhere international. It'd at least assuage South American fans' fears and probably could cost less than making an equivalent event in NA, making it a net positive without losing too much.

This is the kind of content that really seems to suit Dom. He knows the insides of the scene and can explain stuff in a comprehensive and adequate way. I can only ask for more of this

Dom this makes so much sense, ever wonder why the Brazilian UFC fighters never speak English? They don’t care, there is a huge culture in Brazil about keeping their country Brazilian enough. It’s like a contest the people care so much about their culture

if the product isnt something the viewer really wants ---> ye no shit the average esports enjoyer kid is not gonna buy a fkn insurance, car or has the right to decide the internet connection at home.

at 17:10 i laughed so hard after seeing him talk about INTZ, when they're like 4-0 currently in the split and the team improved massively

Interesting to hear you talk about advertising, Redbull makes sense because gamers are known to be chronically addicted to caffiene so offering a product that fits in to replace whatever they're already addicted to can get a potential of a literal lifetime of product purchases from a consumer. Plus its a global brand and has access to global and regional marketing budgets. Global covers ads at intl events, regional covers specific leagues. Vs Mercedes, like who on earth has bought a Mercedes because of league ads?! Its a f2p model. Maybe they can get a whale or two at a worlds/msi to convert.

A curiosity about the current CBLOL split, INTZ, a team that the players didn't want to go to, exchanged the top and mid for 2 promises from the academy and they are currently 4/0 winning even against LOUD, and one of these promises is Yampi jg's brother from INTZ.

INTZ is 5 time CBLOL champion (most all time) and is recognized as a team that uses a lot of young talents. Bad management decisions made that INTZ wasnt good for the past 2-3 yeas, but rn we (I’m an INTZ fan) are up with exciting new talent roster and better gameplay. Franchise system is designed to punish management mistakes (as it should) and reward good choices. We can live with it, but straight up stop existing because somebody else think its the right choice? That’a whats upsetting us a lot.

bro we are brazilians just think about it as a football league, makes no sense to cut almost half the table with their own history and characters and prospects to play 3 games a year with a slightly better region. imagine belgium getting a cut on their teams to play 3 games a year against france for a champions league spot which neither of us will be getting out of group stage either way

Riot-NA so mad over Flyquest shitting the bed, they going out of their way to destroy PCS, VCS, and CBLOL.

IWD is being real here. This is heavily LCS-favored (it's either this or LCS dies) and there's many negatives for CBLOL, with decent gameplay improvement potential for CBLOL. So why are we annoyed about it? (Skip to the end for tl;dr) Three big reasons. The biggest failures of this system are failing to account for the extreme passion Brazilians have for their teams, fucking over the role of our Tier 2 yet again, and not implementing stricter import rules. The first one is the most impactful. Every single Brazilian team is hugely beloved by their fans. You could argue this isn't so much the case for some teams, but even INTZ (the one IWD mentioned) was beloved DESPITE going 0-bananas in their results. They changed up the lineup, org staff, etc. and are currently 4-0, literally won every game in the first two weeks (even against LOUD, the team that won the last 4 splits). This generates some INSANE narratives---the 5-time champion rising from the ashes like a phoenix; this 'magic' is largely the reason we love CBLOL so much. Let's be real: gameplay-wise I can agree that CBLOL needed some trimming. I can agree with those lower-ranked teams not having a guaranteed spot in CBLOL, but it'll still fuck over the fans so much, and a lot of people will get angry. Moreso if larger teams are cut out--I can see major outrage occuring if any of the current top teams this split are cut off, and they're some of the weaker orgs in recent history. They should AT LEAST let the 4 demoted teams try and "fight" for their spot in CBLOL. Moreover, some of our teams (VKS with Coach SeeEl and Liberty are the most notorious) have started using their Academy/Tier 2 teams in their CBLOL planning, hoping to snatch long-term results. If Tier 2 becomes exclusively a 'qualifier' for CBLOL this is going to fuck us HARD. Admittedly, if Tier 2 continues to be a year-wide competition as it is, while allowing the Academy lineups of CBLOL teams to participate (even if they won't reap the benefits of the final qualifier), with an added international event with LLA to become the CBLOL qualifier, this won't be so bad. Lastly: import rules. It is as you say, there's some really good mechanical talent in CBLOL. Bvoy was here not too long ago, and he wasn't exactly the best ADC in CBLOL. What happens when someone like Tinowns or Titan suddenly get offered $10k USD or $20k USD to join fucking Shopify Rebellion or whatever other team, to try and cut down LCS team costs? You can argue that "technically Brazil could do this as well" but our currency is worth a FIFTH of the dollar. If we pull shit like this, we're only getting bottom-tier players, while y'all can 5x+ overpay ours. I'm trying to be optimistic about this, but it would have been best if they kept the 10 CBLOL teams and sent four LLA to NA. tl;dr US now has a free import slot to snatch top tier BR talent for cheap, our tier 2 used to reveal promising talent and now it will be potentially fucked over, and most importantly Brazilian fans are highly passionate and won't accept 4 of their teams being demoted to tier 2 so easily, especially if the decision is not gameplay-centric but for business reasons.

Personally, as a Euro, the special thing about Brazil is the community they built, the special thing about NA is how good they are at burning it all down. It doesnt sit right with me that NA gets to slowly burn down their product over the years, and then gets to piggyback of the hard work Brazil has put into their own scene (AND potentially burn that down too on top of it). Thats my major problem w it all, as someone from neither region.

Translation: “we are hemorrhaging cash and need to consolidate and cut costs before our shareholders demand our heads”

The whole merging for cash drama aside (and yea, RIP all of minor Asian leagues), your breakdown of sponsorship and ads was really informative. I live in Poland (feel weirdly happy you mentioned my country), watched like few dozen of your streams. Never once has I seen an ad whenever you played them on stream. Sorry for being non-monetized viewer :)

BASED. Esports enjoyers will never know the pain of paying to watch football, UFC, boxing etc. I don't watch CBLOL but from what I've seen and heard, they needed to trim the fat a long time ago, there is only 1 or 2 teams that are serious, and CBLOL is not alone. G2 and T1 owners have both spoken about teams 'trying to find a way to earn money without winning, they don't care.'

If the merged playoffs are held in America it would be the dumbest shit ever bc we all know it the Audience would be not even be full but if that shit was in Brazil it would insta sell out

It's crazy that Riot is making the same mistakes they made with MSI from 2015. They are essentially cloning the MSI when they first started it along with all the problems that it had in terms of format and meaningful rewards.

the issue with "CBLOL is likely to get better" is that it also means they have to fight against LCS to even get to play internationally. but now it feels like riot got upset NA couldnt fill a stadium and think that brazil will just come and fill it instead.

This is very good understanding of the CBLOL and brazilian fanbse. You could explain really well what we're feeling with this announcement. Thank you for showing and for explaining to NA audience our thoughts. I would like to add some points to what you said in the video: -As well as we have chance of becomming more competitive by interacting more with international teams, we're scared of losing our best player with the new classification for imports(the america players). With this teams are allowed to bring another import from the region and that won't use the 2 import slots(used mostly for KR and EU imports), opening for possibility of bringing good player from CBLOL and LLA. We're a bit starved of good player, losing 2 or 3 top player to NA will cause huge impacts on the quality of our league. And since our currency is 5 times weaker than US, we have no way to compete with NA teams for this players. - The cut on number of teams. I agree that currently some of our worst teams matches are unwatchable but that doesn't mean that it was always this way, this is a way deeper hole to go. You mentioned INTZ(reads as I-N-T-Z, as it is a compression/acronym of INTREPIDOS), they were the worst team on the last split, with a mid laner that was the last place in our academy, but did you know that they are the biggest winner on our league with 5 titles? Furia, another one mentioned, they show almost no good results on the championship, but the their org is very influential on another esports and they are part of the VCT Americas franchising which. Fluxo, another who had a bad performance last spli, is the first place this split. Liberty, best talent developer on the league, with a robust coaching staff and structure. We also will lose a lot of history, we have a lot of multiple time winner teams that might not be on the conference anymore and their fanbase that will most definitelly stop watching. I'm not argumenting agains what you said in the video, just adding to everything you said as I agree with most of what you said. Great video, very gratefull that someone was able to see thing on our point of view, different of that obnoxious bastard known as LS.

Great video, dom articulated this whole situation rly well

NA might finally win an international event for the first time since IEM back in the 1980s or whatever.

The pro/rel thing would be a solid thing to agree on you with if it wasn't for the team completely revamping the roster the moment they get promoted. With only 5 spots. A team hardly ever stays as the same 5 from split to split even on top teams. If a lower teams dominates and gets promoted, I'd like to see that 5 that dominated in the lower league have to be in some way locked in so they get at least a split in the bigger league.

I feel like a way to implement full fearless would be to just move to a game based socring system with 2Blocks or something like that. That would incentivise teams to tryhard each game and avoid having a team play 5 toplaners to ban out the other team for example.

Dom didn’t understand the APAC league addition. It’s basically a club cup like the champions league in soccer. The top teams from those regions will additionally be participating in this APAC league besides their domestic one. It doesn’t seem like they’re killing those regions off yet

If this americas region has just teams play between conferences in the playoffs, dont think it will end well. They could do a schedule like with NBA with games between different conferences, and yes i know location is an issue, but im sure there can be some sort of compromise regarding that

Fearless draft huge buff for player substitutes. Having 2 players with 2 different champ pools will be crazy depending on role

So this is beacouse we are broke 😔

Hi Dom! Brazilian fan here. The main perception of the merge here is: LCS is gaining a lot with this merge, and let's be honest, this merge would not happen if CBLOL was struggling with audience and numbers. The merge was only proposef because LCS is suffering, so this change is not being done thinking of brazilian fans and/or on our scenario. Thus, the main argument behind the merge, for us, is that we would benefit from the higher quality players on LCS. That is true, but let's not mistake LCS level of play with LEC, or even LCK or LPL level of play. If the merge was with one of these servers, we would indeed be benefited from the learning and quality improvement throughout the years. But we do not think LCS can do this for us. So, in the way we see it, the merge will make us lose teams that have solid fanbases, will make many people unemployed and will also crush dreams of many young brazilian talents with the pathetic excuse of "you guys will benefit also" the main perception around this topic here, is that it is really unfair and a completely desperate measure to save the LCS, which we couldn't care less.

In Counter strike the America's play against each other demesticly and classify as a single slot when it comes to big international tournaments, I think it makes for better competition because each region wants to atleast send one team to represent their country and historically there has been some really strong teams that came out of the America's cause of this

I mean they gotta do something at this point.

Iwdominate speaking facts about cblol and na persoectives with competitiveness vs. community

There's free ufc fights on all the time....in between the PPV events.

good vid, gz

So with 7 regions APAIC can have 2 for PCS & 1 team for everyone else. Hopefully they do playin tournaments at the end of the season to see who represents their region in APAIC in the following years.

Riot should have just made all of the regions the tier 1 leagues but created a master tier league for the teams that win their region in spring, they get put into the "Summoners tournament" or whatever which is just the top 2 teams from each major region doing a full split with each other in the same location. Then to keep your spot in the "master tier" you have to play a best of 5 vs the team who won the region you came from last. It really was never that hard to make interesting international competition even in the riot "splits" format rather than international tournaments but the people who run Riot E-sports specifically are just actually dumb.

What's your thoughts on doing a combo with Monte? I feel like that could be interesting (or a dumpster fire lol xD)?

With the talk of sponsors, I am super confused. Isn't the reason we're in esport winter because the teams and Riot have been continuously lying to sponsors about the real return on their investments? If they're just "muddying the waters" for sponsors again, isn't it literally just starting the same cycle over again?

A few things I did not understand where: 1. I was under the impression there were three international events already: MSI, Worlds and All-Stars. All-Stars being a more casual tournament. Is All-Stars dead or just a side attraction for worlds now? 2. What is happening to the Russian league? M5 dominated the European league, dipped for their own league and got minor regioned for the last half decade. All other leagues are getting at least a small footnote before being unceremoniously ended. 3. Personally love fearless. Not having a good top-laner destroy everything on the same champion a full series (K'sante last year was a thing and Skarner looks finely balanced as well right now). In the play-offs having Azir, Corki and Orianna at least swapping sides every game sounds nice as well.

Ufc is about to end ppv probably because they sell so poorly and get mass pirated btws.

I don't think the majority of the player base would pay for a subscription to watch JUST lol eSports. Maybe if they'd partner with other streaming services kinda like Star+ does here in Latin America for example with all the soccer leagues then maybe people will pay for it, but this means having to share the paycheck with other platforms therefore resulting in less profit than releasing an exclusive platform... This way the younger audience would get access too via their parents/family account. I'm just saying this could be a good way to get a new influx of money to the eSports scene and maybe this way other eSports would start doing the same therefore ending in an streaming platform with a subscription method just for eSports 👍🏼

The only thing I got from this video is go live in Brazil = get free ad block

I would pay $5 a month per region IF that money went to players

Interested to see how this goes, all for more international / cross-regional experience for every team

Great video. I appreciate content like this! Gotta say, slight disagree on the “gamers are cheap” idea. I know what you mean but the optics of that statement looks a bit odd saying that on the heels of a $430 skin being released. Whether gamers are truly “cheap” or not is somewhat subjective but for me that’s not the issue. At this point, no esports viewer will tolerate paying for a given esports tournament because a culture/standard has formed where they expect it to be without cost. An introduced price would be received as “they’re ripping us off” or something similar. Had esport events always carried some price tag such as the example you brought up, UFC/MMA, then everyone would understand that is the norm for these events to function. Nevermind the fact a majority would just view it on crackedstreams like people do for fights anyway.

Go every other for where finals is held if they build up a massive stadium, cause things is Brazil are cheap. and just alt where finals is held. Americans can definitely travel to Brazil too. Would definitely be hype. I’m all for that.

According to MarkZ on the dive there is essentially 0 North/South interaction planned, at least in 2025. Its just going to be a few top teams playing in whats essentially a local qualifier for Internationals. This doesnt seem to have anything to do with "saving LCS viewership" and entirely seems like cutting the headcount for Tier 1 teams that Riot needs to payout to. I get it sucks for CBLOL fans to lose 4 teams (technically only 3 teams) but they are getting a much better deal here than every other minor region, look at whats happening to APAC

Dom I've watched UFC since 2005, no fans be payin for that shit

great video brother sucks for latam though :(

@IWDominate I believe there is a point that you Americans are not considering: the loss of regional talent that is likely to happen in CBLOL. Within the new rules, there is a new status for competitors, the 'American'. This status will be an intermediary between imported and regional players, allowing them to move between the regions that make up their league. In practice, this means that Brazilian players, who are very skilled mechanically, can be acquired by any American team for a third of the salaries typically paid in the region, even in tier 2 leagues. Considering that Brazil has a player base perhaps even larger than that of the USA, it is unlikely that the best Brazilian players will continue playing in CBLOL. I believe this is something worth considering.

22:00 As someone living in a 3rd world country that has to use VPNs to get into YT, I now know which region I should connect to.

I'm basically a Brazilian fan but for NA

As a brazilian myself i think i can point out what the issue is. There is a lot of points but i will try to sumirise it up(sorry for bad english). 1. Cblol was triving in their own. So losing 4 teams dont make any sense for any brazilian, because for us every team matters. This fells like it happens because lcs needs money, so you have to cut cost here to make up revenue to keep lcs teans going, insted of just not cutting in cblol and doind it in lcs because it has a smaller comunity. 2.We think in the long run it will happen the same thing as valorant. NA teams have more money so they will get every good player that are good in brazil, not only you are guetting our chance of improving, you get our famous players and break the ability of us seeing our own praised players. Because we cant go to NA just to watch league. 3. We are not guetting nothing for this. "Why?" The thing is this 3 tornament its uselless for us. Because for at least 2 years its not realistic that we would win against NA in a bo5. We are losing our academy and 4 teams and we have to play againt a LLA team to have a place in MSI or worlds so in reality we are just lossing. The only "good" is the possibilty of having 2 teams in worlds but as i said it something that will not happen at least for now. 4. This is for me personaly but its not for brazil but the two tornaments, its stupid to have just one "invited" team, imagine wining the league and having the possibility of not playing the next, it should be at least two. 5. Why the fuck stick to this franchise, it dosent give any stability because as we are seeing riot can just fuck everything you build in secconds. Just let it be competitive.

And now INTZ is 4-0 this split, beating LLL with poise. You'll never get it.

I AGREE WITH SO MANY COMMENTS RIOT *_NEEDS_* TO DO THINGS IN SOUTH AMERICA IF THEY REALLY WANT TO "MERGE" COMMUNITIES ORGS ARE GONNA DIE IF THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN LA AND AS YOU SAID WE ARE DIFFERENT WE LOVE THE TEAMS NOT THEIR LEVEL!!! (unironically we're not the same!) Also as i said in LSs video we need to stay calm and focused because this is such a change that would make mid and long term so much benefits but if its badly executed this would just destroy lives orgs etc entirely and change soooooooo much the scene riot NEEDS to support south american orgs if they want this to go well LLA really has some talent but we're countries with lower population and economy compared to major regions but if we merge with NA and Riot does this well i really reaaaaally think this would do so much for international prowess as AMERICA brothers and sisters stay still reward every good change and RIOT (unintended pun) FOR EVERY BAD CHANGE WE NEED TO STAY TOGETHER HOPING FOR A BETTER SCENE IN EVERY ASPECT AND WISH THE BEST FOR THE ORGs Sorry if i misspelled something! (great video Dom i love this type of content cheers from Chile!)

16:55 hoje esse time tem o melhor league do campeonato 😢 cblol é assim, totalmente imprevisível

bless you

3:54 Damn Dom you didn't have to hit me with the fact that HoN (which was a better game at the time) got beat out by League because it was free... Oldge

Best take of any foreign streamer, by far!

I just love the fact that furia not only suck in CS2, but in LoL, too XD

22:53 i wish that part of me not getting the ad if the product doesn't exist here was true, i get ads from American products constantly, its not my or dom's problem, but twitch is for sure scamming advertisers lol. why can other platforms get me local ads and make some money that way idk...

Cblol fans are acting like LCS doesn't lose a worlds spot as a result of this. You lose 4 bottom tier teams while LCS loses 2 teams AND a worlds spot. This is after LCS has been directly competitive with LEC more than ever.

Now the 500$ skin bundle makes sense. Riot and tencent are bleeding money and need a way to gain some back

Does this mean like you said if FLY academy does good, can both FLY teams be in the league ?

Dom. do u consider doing videos of soloq / matches. I miss seeing my favourite crackhead jungle...

13:47 comp do montanha 😂😂😢

The only way this isnt just NA ruining other regions in an attempt to save themselves is if they would move the LCS to Brazil so you can actually make the Brazilian fans which you are trying to win over happy. Why would they go watch LCS if they just ruined their league, in their opinion very unfairly?

We've built an amazing community, even though CBLOL has 1/10th of the money and help that the LCS had. I know that in the end it's business, but don't expect the Brazilian public continue to support it in the same way. In the end, everyone will lose, even if some deserve it more than others.

I watch a lot of regular sports too, and I don't pay for those either lol

Hey man, brazilian fan here. I know that watching INTZ is almost impossible, it's painful. however, it is an organization that practically founded the scene, with many fans who wear the shirt and are scared to death of no longer being able to express their support. I'm a paiN fan, we were INTZ's great rival for many years and even we are sad about this possibility. It’s because of history and respect. FURIA, which was a great frustration last split, probably remains in the league because they are already partners in Valorant. There is so much history, so many jobs (and I'm not talking about proplayers) that will cease to exist overnight. We are not rich, our tier 2 will be, for the most part, with only 3 or 4 teams actually competing. CBLOL is not just LOUD, paiN. I understand that the market needs to be cheaper. But please, for the last time, STOP telling us (you are not doing that, it is USA in general) what we should be feeling. It is just sad. Love from Brazil dude. Be safe.

The reality is that CBLOL will be swallowed by the LCS, we will lose teams that, even if they don't perform well, have a history on the scene with more than 5 titles and the average number of views for all teams in CBLOL is very similar, even the last placed team. If you take LOUD, which won 4x in a row when it started, it started coming in last 2x before strengthening itself in the scene, so if this were 4 years ago, it would exclude what is now the largest organization in Brazil, in the same way INTZ, which came in last several times. years in a row, but in the past it has already won 5 times, CBLOL is this year giving opportunities to young people and in this current split it is undefeated in 4 games. The LCS will swallow the CBLOL financially as the American teams will hire the few good Brazilian players to take part of the fan base and thus further harming the Brazilian scene where there will be no money to structure the teams to compete with the LCS. Brazil doesn't want to improve the level of the region, no one asked for it and it won't be 2 more games with LCS that will do that, in the end it's just an excuse to swallow us and steal little from our players with fan base to save the LCS league that only think about results (what was it that sank the league initially)

This huge shit is because 4 teams will be out, why Riot did not make a 10 teams league? We cana fford to lose 1 team to 1 LLA spot but 4 teams is ridiculous, thats the only point and of course the "americas player thing to not look like imports"..

I like how they blame money when they treat esports like a advertisement for their game. IMO every team going to Workds/MSI should get a skin or at least a chroma. But Riot doesn't want to split skin revenu (which Riot sees as the reason for lol esports to exist) with the teams/players. Adds suck on lol esports becuse the game/skins is already the add. But i would 100% pay 5-15 a month for esports i already sub to dom and don't even watch him on twitch

I struggle to see a downside to this even for CBLoL. I think they are also winning big from my POV. They wont be a minor region anymore, there will be extra revenues and less teams so they should be able to step up and improve the region. With enough success, the scene can get back to better things. I think LCS wins but also I really think Brazil wins also. More popular world wide lol esport is good for all regions and dying regions are bad for everyone. I dont see this as costing jobs but keeping the jobs that are kept much more secure instead of being at risk of loosing it all outside asia

Well, no, i would never pay a cent to watch LCS. It is what it is, I just tune in when i got nothing better to do and i guess there aren´t a lot of "fan" fans, most people that watch don´t really giva a f

Translate this: A maior parte dos torcedores brasileiros entendem que esta decisão da Riot é apenas financeira e para salvar o cenário NA que foi incapaz de evoluir em comunidade pelas próprias pernas. A Riot poderia fazer esta mudança de várias formas menos prejudiciais a comunidade BR, mas escolheram simplesmente destruir a região para salvar a região NA falida. Isto causa o ódio da comunidade para a Riot. Você cria uma comunidade ao longo de 11 anos para vir um norte americano ditar o que seremos agora. Também temos a experiencia no Valorant onde a Riot DESTRUIU o cenário regional, porque para eles o que importa é o VCT. São essas decisões que trazem ódio. Desemprego de 40% dos profissionais, matar uma comunidade autossuficiente, forçar uma rivalidade com NA (FCK), incerteza e desmontagem do tier 2 BR. O CBLOL só perde com essa mudança. Não queremos isso, queremos que seja feita uma mudança com respeito! Queremos que a Riot respeite quem somos e como conquistamos tudo que temos hoje! Espero que entendam isto. Tentei ser o mais respeitoso possível, visto que USA nao é com os outros países.

Dom the business man

Would’ve be a meaningful change if it had happened before they merged LAN and LAS. Because back then LAN was stronger than both LAS and CBLOL but now they’re irrelevant but so are CBLOL so all this does is make it easier for NA.

I mean, teams have their fans. INTZ have their fans. The guys who talked to you that you dont wanna watch them is a fan from a rival or a just someone who dont like INTZ.

I empathize with Brazilian fans. I’ve had to watch the LCS cannibalize itself for years, it must feel really shit to see it coming to their region. But before Brazil comes at lcs fans with their pitchforks, just know that any one of us with half a brain gets it and didn’t want this either. I do find it odd that one of the people likely spearheading this effort is in fact Brazilian, you would think that Carlos would have been more in touch with his own region. I guess we don’t know what we don’t know.

I don't know a single person who actually pays for ufc..

I'm not sure about other viewers but i'd gladly pay 5 euro a month to watch lol esports and keep the scene alive.

LS is in a war right now 🤣🤣

Brazilians bout to get exposed and they don't want to see that

75k/month passive income to be a popular streamer in 2014??? Jesus christ...

The argument of "esports fans don't pay for shit" is fair enough and certainly a lot of fans are cheap as fuck. But my issue with this argument is that i can barely remember any sponsorships for lec, lcs or other big leagues i was even remotely interested to purchase a product oft. I don't need a car. I don't need anything from the "statefarm analyst desk" i don't need a 2k$ pc on a regular basis. But somehow smaller communities, like the LFN community, or the RLS community is willung to pay for things and to purchase products that might have value for them. Imho there is a gigantic failure by Publishers, TO's and teams to actually make sponsors appear interesting to the audience.

INTZ was the worst team by far last split. They won like 3 from 18 matches. We are in the third week of the second split. INTZ is 4 - 0 and won against the team that is 4 consecutive times champion. Fluxo was 9th place last split and today share the first place with INTZ and KEYD (all 4-0). So we do have dead horses of the split. But in the next split the team might change and become a good team.

algo comment. Unfortunately, people who are mad will not listen to your takes with good intent.

the same thing that happened in valorant we are being sacrificed to save this lcs crap again, we all know the result of the merge in valorant was only good for lcs

So is NA now officially a minor region ?

magnética mentionned !!!!! what the fuck is a sponsor???

RIOT沒錢了想減少隊伍才這樣合併==

.1% conversion is lucky/good??? e-sports viewers are mad cheap i guess.

This is bonkers, you have 2 divisions for LCS, LLA and CBLOL, but just one for LJL, LMS, SEA and Oceania? They couldn't make a "North" with LMS and LJL and "south" with Vietnam, SEA and Oceania? What? I mean, it beats what the TCL got but...

Imagine the viewership drop from NA viewers and the Brazillian memes if brazillian teams start slaping around NA teams and take some of their worlds spots 😂 Can't wait 🙌🏼

Hey CBLOL, at least ypu have the culture - being a viewer for VCS & LJL is actually hell.... And they ALWAYS got reserved slot instead of PCS during international events

EU hated LCS. Now Brazil hates LCS. Good job riot

Get me an Esport streaming platform with a vod library similiar to netflix, with lol and cs please. i will pay 20-30 dollars a month for it.

yeah i bet caedrel is so annoyed about his earnings as a league streamer, must be very hard for him with the decline in viewership of LoL Creators :D
