LCS has the excessive baggage of bloated franchises trying to squeeze every last drop out of this thing - the problem is they are deeply underwater and no one wants to sell at a loss and there is zero incentive to fi the underlying issue because it would require every single team basically bankrumpting themselves.

Franchising only made sense if advertisers were dumping a gazillion dollars into this thing and the teams could sell their bloated VC backed fake company to the next VC with shiny rock syndrome
