NA LCS Changes


People assumed it was happening, but now it's confirmed: relegation is out. All teams have to apply to be part of the LCS on a permanent basis now.

Financial incentives to do better in the league to replace some of the lower level competitiveness.... seems like basically nothing unless those amounts are truly staggering. Also can (though looks like maybe not FORCED) to lose a spot if a team places 9th or 10th in 5 out of 8 splits (that's 4 years!)

Revenue sharing both from Riot to Teams and Teams to Riot (that will be distributed across all teams).

Minimum Salary for players will now be $75k.

It looks like players will receive, in total 35%, of league revenue (with a minimum represented by their guaranteed salaries) and teams will receive 32.5%, with half distributed equally and half based on league finish and viewer engagement.

League Revenue will now count media rights and distribution and team-branded digital products.

But you'll notice that nowhere in there does it mention skin sales for non-team branded products, which is where Riot knows it makes the money. Still, fair enough.

Not that it got huge viewership numbers, but the Championship Series is now basically not worth watching. It'll be full of academy teams. I'm not sure what incentive they'll provide for teams to use it.

As a side note, Immortals -- who had to have known this was coming -- has played this super smart. While other teams have pushed to win, Immortals has been super willing to take losses of major players and other opportunities in order to cultivate the image of a responsible ownership team that partners well with players.

Seems rough for the orgs that were trying to use it to break in to lcs seeing as those spots are worth a whole lot less. Do you think that change will help their college league seeing as the minor league will now be less competitive and less important than it currently is?

yeah. i mean, most organizations have been aware for roughly a year that Riot was moving toward this. I think all CS teams and all LCS teams will make a pitch based on how they've structured their current teams and their partnership with Riot. There's a 10 million dollar buy-in (with 5 of that deferred), but I don't think it'll be a challenge for the teams Riot picks to find financing for that.

I don't think it'll help college teams all that much, honestly.

If I'm a non-name brand team LCS team (so basically not C9, TSM or CLG)/CS team and I'm not already known as a good organization (e.g. Immortals), I think I'm probably looking to major sports teams and VCs to partner with to go forward.

Oh it's completely and entirely a publicity stunt with the LCS changes coming. And I'm 1000% ok with that.

the only weird thing is that echo fox apparently is only scrimming its sister team now. I think that includes a team made of their subs, but i can't imagine these streamers taking more than a little bit of time grinding a scrim situation.

They're more then likely just getting paid to perform certain scrim team comps for the main team, then can have fun in the challenger series. For a butload of cash

I'm gonna guess a certain amount of guaranteed streaming time was part of their contracts. It's mutually beneficial anyway.

This is also a bid to ensure they get one of the franchise spots.
