I find it hard to blame him, though I wonder who TSM could possibly replace DL with that's free and just as good (and can help Biofrost grow, if he's still on the team).In post 7173, zoraster wrote:only just noticed doublelift says he won't be back for spring split.
For the thread title question, eh. Still kinda in the "NA failed, nothing matters anymore" mentality so I don't think I can fairly answer that question. I think it'll matter more for EU than NA since EU has far less international cred to win back and NA pretty much has to wait for Worlds again just to be anything more than on par with IWC teams, if only marginally better. (Well, winning MSI would probably help, but...)
Slightly irrelevant to that, exactly how hard would it be/is it to setup some kind of weekly international exhibition matchups between regions during the regular season, assuming that all five major regions have agreed to do so or at least look favorably on such an idea? I was kinda thinking that, for NA/EU, we'd add an extra week to account for byes and have the matches happen on, like, Saturday and/or Sunday before the NA LCS, though I'm not sure if it'd be online or if foreign teams would travel to play in LA. And it'd probably be rough parity between teams; 5th place NA would play 5th place LCK, for instance, or the rough equivalent.
