The Only Positive

The only positive about The Guard roster not making tier 1 and Riot fucking them over by just deleting their ascension win is that now there is an absurd abundance of FA talent in NA. I cannot wait to see some of these players sign to other regions and absolutely body them like the frauds they are (FNATIC + PRX not included). Sorry not sorry, get used to NA winning every region's trophy.

5 less player slots, means less opportunity for NA players.

no, this isn’t a good thing for you guys. sucks as hell.

less jobs less opportunities, big orgs are not not going to want to compete since this is twice now that riot steals a slot. means tier 2 will suffer because talent wont get paid...

why would players not stream and make real money to compete and possible get nothing

Unless the other org is rlly big, it makes no sense to go to a different region considering the salaries there

We're just gonna have a bunch of NA pros convert to fulltime streamers

also fewer less games per season, so Americas teams have more down/prep time = Americas players less burnt out and/or prepared better
10 team round robin has 45 games
11 team round robin has 55 games
