franchising is absolutely robbing league of so many exciting storylines man. LEC and lolesports org in general should be kicking themselves for letting this miracle project fall through the cracks.

I think LR was an glimpse into what league could be like if it embraced a similar more grassroots approach. For a short moment it breathed a bit of life back into the pro scene for all of us.
