Basically at the end of the last split there was a mini tournament and 4 of the teams in the LCS are put into relegation matches after they lose.

At the same time, the top 8 amateur teams are picked from the ranked 5s ladder (or something like that) and face off against each other in a best of 3. The 4 amateur teams that win their BO3 face the pro teams in the relegation/promotion matches which is a BO5. The 4 teams that win against their opponent there get promoted to the LCS.

So far only the Copenhagen Wolves from EU have managed to keep their position in the LCS in both EU and NA. There are only 2 matches left, Dignitas vs. Team Summon and CLG vs. Azure Cats (bigfatjiji's team).

Whether you like or dislike CLG, it's going to be really weird if they lose and end up disbanding because they're one of the oldest and probably most famous LoL teams. They were looking really shaky throughout the LCS because they still play like it's season 2 and don't really try to learn new stuff saying that "it won't work for them" because of their playstyle. I mean, HotshotGG still has the same champion pool from 2 years ago LOL @_@

So these pro teams are losing to the amateur teams?

[a.L]

Well, they're 'amateur' teams but some of them just missed out in qualifying for the last LCS split because they got beaten in the final qualifier so they're still decent teams. This time they got their revenge I guess...

[a.L]

Last time Quantic was shit talking all the other teams but then they got knocked out. This time they managed to get promoted...

[Ralath]

sooo.. umm.. what do all these teams do if they don't make it?

[a.L]

Wait for the next season or give up on their dreams of being a pro gamer

[a.L]

Or some players can get picked up as subs for LCS teams

Hey Lirange - you know that Renekton that was in our last game?

I looked at his profile and it said he was in Silver 1, but his league was Tryndamere's Rageborn. And then I checked yours and yours was Ashe's Swashbucklers. But you're both Silver 1??? So there's multiple leagues for each?


ohhh interesting:

it seems that the system picks a random champion name, picks a random title, then sticks them together and plops 250 players together into a League with given name. This is gonna become less of a list and more of a "So, which League are you in?" topic. I'll still leave up the ones I listed and bold the ones I found clever/silly.
