What is LoCk/IN format ?

What is this new format ? Where you lose one game and your out ? So teams are traveling to Brazil only to play one game? I am not able to understand this format? Is riot trying to lower the expenses? They can't afford the 30 teams tournament?

So teams traveling from Asia to South America to play for hour ? This is crazy

One time tournament + It's only to introduce the franchised teams

Also they said they don't want to make it a very long tournament since the franchised is gonna start soon in March

Wtf so it's not franchised? What will be franchised format like every weekend there will be games?

I understand why they put this format, cause if was double elimination or a group stage and single elimination after, the tournament would have like, 2 months, unsustainable. Besides the calendar of the franchised.

But i agree, shit format

Riot has too much money to burn so they're trying to get groups of people to come and leave ASAP

Franchised league

Americas, EMEA and Pacific will start in March

Defo will be a league system where every weekend there are games and it will be on LAN
