Immortal;s was kicked out because they have literally no sponsors & just spent 30 million dollars on building an overwatch gamedome or something. Theyre a joke, sorry folks.

Vermain posted:I think I just started watching NALCS again after they brought in MikeYeung, so I missed his return to the scene. Can he still not perform an Insec?  He was fairly good though, the meta suited him a lot. His record on P1 was 13-9 (13-6 in spring, the split where they were actually good and not in a permanent state of collapsing).

person with all the money: lol, u think we're making money doing this?? we do this out of the kindness of our hearts fans: ohhh lol, the players are the ones ruining all of this people with all the money: exactly, and anyone who drives up player salary specifically ruins the game fans: goddammit, i always knew it, thats why lockouts are actually player strikes in my mind anyway, i am sure these organizations wouldn't lie about the amount of money they make in order to justify wage theft

they only paid those millions out now because of all the money that came in from outside investors though, what does that have to do with previously not being sustainable before franchising?

also i understand series A funding isn't really the LoL thread's strong suit but you might want to consider that investors consider operational expenses very differently from expansion. things like the salaries you pay to players and the large chunk of cash you shell out to get a franchise are very different. e: it's not c-spam i should probably spell right

Look its obvious that imt was denied because noah is a loving nerdlinger and it took heroic levels of restraint for regi, jack, steve, tryndamere, and ryze not to pants him and stuff him in a trash can at every owners meeting. In order to remove the atmosphere of potential harrassment they solved the problem by getting rid of him.

Vermain posted:It's now officially confirmed that Ryu, Ssumday, and Meteos (!) have been signed to 100T. Didn't Meteos officially retire years back after it became clear he had zero interest in the game anymore? What happened? I think metros is probably still a capable pro player and on the right team he could be ok

Schnorkles posted:of course Steve is literally throwing money at anyone who can smack 9 cs/min in lane so who the gently caress knows - VCs by and large aren't good at the "measuring how profitable an investment will be" part of their jobs, they're good at the "having the occasional monster investment pay off and/or coercing dying companies into sighing hilariously one-sided contract terms they benefit from either way" part, so series A (through series C, D, who cares) is a big shruggo for turnaround mattering - Founders spend like it's not their money (so long as it only benefits people they consider rockstars in the org and not the rank and file), because (esp. once VC is involved) they've burnt through the money and goodwill that got them that far so anything else is a bonus Semi-related, league team bubble is real and it's going to be really funny if/when another game actually does eat their lunch.

YOU GUYS Flame signed with Flyquest and they need a midlaner with Hai leaving. Flame was a former teammate of Fly who also played in NA cs this year. Are we gonna potentially see Fly Fly?

Seems like Anda the imt sub who climbed really high in KR soloq during the bootcamp will join Flyquest as their jungler. So I am guessing Flame, Anda, ?, WT, Stunt. Could be a more consistent roster than the original Flyquest. I think Froggen might be on this but I hope it is Febiven or PoE.

No big surprise, but TSM MikeYeung's officially announced. I think this'll legit be a monster team if they can get MikeYeung the coaching he needs.

Wildturtle is better than Doublelift. They both use flash poorly and throw games but at least Widlturtle snipes objectives.

I actually think WT has better teamfighting than DL but DL's laning phase is so much better the small teamfighting edge from WT isn't worth it. That optic lineup looks like legit poo poo. Can't believe PoE left misfits for this other than the money... So Clutch Gaming have Febi. So who doesn't have a midlaner left? Golden Guardians haven't announced anything I believe. Hai/Froggen are still free but I feel like there is a chance Loco will bring 2 brand new Koreans. Some people are saying Ucal/Rush are going to be in a team together. Maybe its just reddit/inven rumor but I hope it's true.
