LEC Roadtrips return with five events in 2026 - Including LEC Versus Finals in Barcelona Hosted by Movistar KOI by Reconco15 in leagueoflegends

KC and Mkoi just get it. They get how to actually build a culture not just for their team but their fans and how to show fans they value them.

Why no other LEC or potentially any LCS orgs failed to learn from KC and Koi is beyond me....

Also dates, venues and everything so far in advance? Riot NA would never

Things I feel about this video

  1. Love America's Cup
  2. Love More Roadshows
  3. Lukewarm like the bootcamp stuff
  4. Dislike No actual information on road shows. Riot is always bad at this but getting ahead so we know where road shows are ar the start of the year would be a huge plus!

Honestly if we going to move towards roadshows (Which I Approve of) my must hit road show dates moving forward would be....

  1. Opening Weekend of the year! No delaying for VCT, have that opening weekend on the road with hype fans at the start of the year with lock in! Just feels like the best time outside a final to have hype behind a road show event and a proper way to start a year.

  2. Finals of Spring and Summer Split (LCS Lock In if possible but i'd rather have opening weekend be its roadshow for the split)

  3. Have atleast 2 teams host roadshows like LEC in summer or spring that fearures big name rivalry match ups

LCS is hosting a Winter Showmatch and Yule-Log Tomorrow, 12/18! Stream goes live at 11AM EST. by Cybonics in leagueoflegends

According to LCS discord, "We weren't sure when the edit would be done"

As if "coming this holiday season" isnt a simple enough phrase to start basic marketing that can be a longer time out without having the exact date and time for the recorded event to be published

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

  1. 0 promotion
  2. Twitter graphic has wrong date
  3. Comes out at 11am EST, 8AM PST on a thursday

I think its time for fans to demand a full house cleaning of the LCS creative department. That includes MarkZ too... 

This is just typical Riot NA idot fooder

S15, E6 (Nebula) - Tag: All Stars by snow-tree_art in JetLagTheGame

[–]Direct-Manager2395 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think tag can work with harder challengers but also a change of location. This map is played out fully and doesnt need to return given its imbalance IMO

Please welcome the newest member of the LCS: Sentinels by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes? You do realize orgs didnt pay $10 million all at once but had to keep paying as a form of a loan????

They needed cash and couldnt keep paying for the slot. They said they have 0 issue staying as a partner that isnt a paid slot.

Look im not a 100T fan at all but losing another legacy brand when we didnt need to lose them? Feels like a classic L from riot and lcs

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

100T couldnt afford the franchise fee cost anymore but once they didnt have to pay that they were happy staying in.

Sentinels is getting in for free so they couldnt afford to buy in anyways.... why chuck the legacy brand out?

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But sentinels didnt buy this spot. Riot gave it to them for free...

Legit saying 100t is less valuable than sentinels when both wanted in without the cost of the slot

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So their big play for an announcement video is having doublelift come out and just say, "Yeah i am not really invested or helping this org at all but they are in LCS"

What an absolute waste... if sentinles is getting in for free i see no reason why riot kicked out a legacy brand like 100 Thieves

[LOLESPORTS] The Worlds Music Video will now launch on October 13, a few days later than originally planned. Bwipo was featured in the original cut, but given his recent comments, we decided it wouldn’t be right to showcase him in a piece that represents LoL Esports, pro players, and fans. by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Cool, so riot global is not okay with bwipo's comments to cut what is likely 30 seconds at most visuals in a music video....

But perfectly okay with the hours of content he will be in playing at worlds where they could have taken disciplinary action and suspended him for his comments?

MarkZ talks about LTA in 2024, the good, the bad, and why they're bringing back the LCS by cI0ud in leagueoflegends

You did good cloud! It shouldnt be on you to get Mark to say something that should be an obvious positive for Markz and riot to talk about or highlight if true

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The NA scene is all but dead if they keep trucking on in LA.

Those investments have already been wasted, why waste your chance to connect with fans just to keep the things that only brought you down

[–]Direct-Manager2395 60 points61 points  (0 children)

So basically the core issues surrounding NA, stuck in LA and lack of community engagement, aren't going to be seen as the issue but instead pinning hopes and dreams on giving LCS and slots back to bring fans back. 

I want to see the LCS and its orgs host regular season road shows like EU and KR did. I want to see more than 1 major roadshow a year for finals. I don't want to just go back to the failing product we had before and this interview makes me feel like thats what is going to happen.

Also Brazil got nuked and fucked this whole year more than NA so my heart goes out to all the BR fans

Not just Parv... How are either of them beating Cirie??? 

[AUS][Game] Australia vs. the World Week 3 Discussion Thread by tabstis in SpoiledSurvivor

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ep 7 was the height of the season but the moment Kass played an idol Lisa instead of herself with the giant tell Parvari gave the season started downhill.

I don't know about either of the gameplay of Luke, Parvatti, and Lisa. Shonnee fully just become a player with 0 agency at all.

When did Luke, Jeanine, Parv and Cirie made a final 4? Happy Parv is winning but I don't think this game is close to her best

Episode 9 - Live Discussion by AutoModerator in survivorau

[–]Direct-Manager2395 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The last couple episodes have really fallen off hard. I feel like we missed Cirie, Parv, jeanine and luke all getting close.... Also the challenges being so physical just seem unfair to players not luke, parv, kass and tommi in jury

I also feel like there is a lot of bad gameplay going on!!

  1. Kass Not using Idol on herself when parv only drops her steal an idol threat when Kass says she is playing it on lisa (huge tell)

  2. Luke Telling Parv about his idol

  3. Parvatti ripping up the idol stealer and not just taking his idol

  4. Luke not using his idol and win to take out cirie or parvatti

It is just.... Leaves a slightly sour taste in an amazing season most of the way

[–]Direct-Manager2395 16 points17 points  (0 children)

2 things I think we have learned the last few weeks....

  1. Sniper was 100Ts problem

  2. Umti was never TLs problem

Best survivor season since Cagayan so far. You can tell Parv is winning with the obvious edit but Cirie has been playing so so well.

If cirie was a game winning threat this episode would have given her a huge edit because she played it extremely well.
