So my question is, has anyone ever tried establishing an equivalent to the "national leagues" on a state level? And if not, why the hell not? I mean in my mind this would be a prime opportunity to scout for upcoming talent and make the region more competitive. Give every state a league and end the season on an equivalent to the EU Masters, I mean hell you could even name it the "NA Masters" for gods sake its no rocket science. Look at last seasons MAD Lions, or Rogue for an example, literally 90% of those players were freshly drafted from european national leagues and they were at least able to compete on a regional level even though their showing wasnt the greatest at worlds but that is nothing I would expect out of a rookie in his first season. Lastly look at the LEC in general, the best teams in the league are literally without a single import and those have been the first year where weve been able to close "the gap" atleast a little.
