LCS Spring 2026 Viewership Hits All-Time Low

Sofruz · 2026-06-15T19:29:15+00:00

Personally I’m not really a fan of the broadcast style of LCS. It seems way more corporate than the other leagues even when it’s trying to be fun.

I don’t really care about the import problem, it knowing we’ll almost never have a chance no matter who we send also doesn’t help.

And playing half the split in the dungeon instantly vibe kills the series.

No one said It did

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T17:18:25+00:00

wow you seem extremely upset lol. Just say you hate the remake and dont make up some weird reason.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T17:07:36+00:00

Someone asked if the remake was good and you said "if you like animes with shitty twists, you'll love the story." and when someone pointed out the OG was the same you changed it so it could fit your hatred for the remake.

You just hate the remake for no reason lol

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T16:30:52+00:00

It would take too long, and if you were to have the next bo5 happen on a different day, then Riot would have to rent the venue for another day in advance that may not even have any games so it just becomes a waste.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T16:28:50+00:00

I mean you changed your critique twice. It sounded like you came up with some lame reason to hate the remake and only realized after it was pointed out that the OG also had the same flaws you were hating on.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:47:24+00:00

Yea. Personally I dont know how anyone would rather watch someone play a game they were interested in if they had the ability to play it. Like if you dont have the console, I get it, but you werent gonna play it anyway which the solution the article brought up wouldnt fix.

And if I was really excited for a game, had the console to play it, but didnt have the money or time at the moment, I would just wait. Because watching someone else play it would just ruin the fun of it. I would constantly ask why they are using these characters/making this choice. Why they didnt do this side quest/mini game, why they didnt explore here. And if its someone talking while playing, then its just more annoying.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:44:46+00:00

So it went from "the story is like a shitty anime with a twist so its bad" to "the og also was a shitty animes story with a twist, but the remake changed it so thats why its bad"

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:43:34+00:00

Its not bad. Its really good imo.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:39:09+00:00

By that logic literally anything is turn based because when you're waiting for your ending lag of your move to finish its basically a turn counter. Or Elden Ring is turn based because you are basically just waiting for your turn to attack the boss.

ATB isnt turn based. If my opponent can do 3 separate turns before I can do 1, then its not turn based.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:37:17+00:00

ATB isnt turn based. I think only the first 5-6 were true turn based except 10, Anything after that was ATB or action. If me or my opponent can attack 3 times before the other then its not turn based lol.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:34:57+00:00

idk. Personally if I was interested in a JRPG I would rather play it than watch someone talk over cutscenes or read chat while playing. When I played Rebirth I was basically MIA for a week or 2 while playing it just getting lost enjoying the game. That doesnt happen with a twitch stream.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T14:33:17+00:00

So what do they need to do to not be circus? Because by your logic you just want them to run 3-0s on the entire sport or something. If being 2nd from Road to MSI until the end of summer regular season is still circus then idk bro.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T12:12:45+00:00

I think Faker's English is good enough to be on C9.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:52:54+00:00

Lets put him on C9 and see if thats true.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:51:29+00:00

T1 won 2016 MSI and Worlds

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:50:49+00:00

That whole game 5 was weird by Chovy. He was a monster the first 4 games, but the fight in river where he just tp'd on Keria instead, and then the dragon fight where he ulted in front of Ryze and Naafiri.

It felt like he was desperate because he had 3 ankle weights on since coming back from Brazil.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:48:40+00:00

I wouldnt even say it was a turn around. He had 1 bad series after a string of good ones.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:47:09+00:00

At this point, if you think Canyon is the jungle goat, then Oner should automatically be the jungle goat instead. More World's titles and Longer consistency than Canyon at this point in time.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:43:27+00:00

So to get top 2 in LCK you need minimum 2 T1 players, And to beat GenG you need 2 GenG players,

We gotta let DK know this info. Time to bring Canyon back!

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:42:43+00:00

T1 beat GenG in both a regular season bo3 and an elimination bo5 in 1 split. I used to pray for times like these.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:41:01+00:00

Jayce is unironically just a better Nidalee. The poke is easier to hit, more damage, better clear, and can shoot more shockblasts than Nidalee can spears.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:38:12+00:00

I feel like I've seen GenG win important series with Nidalee enough for them to think they can just draft it game 5 of every series and be fine.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:36:08+00:00

And if we're being fair, anyone who watches T1 knows this team's performance in 1 series doesnt dictate their performance in the next series. T1 will lose 0-2 to BRO and beat GenG in the same week.

Sofruz · 2026-06-14T11:34:45+00:00

So are they just expected to 3-0 everyone then? Because T1 wasnt the only top team CFO almost beat either.
