Academy Teams!

These academy teams in tier 2 makes it so much more fun to watch... heading into a region in tier 2 and not knowing any of the teams or players suck.
At least it gives me someone to root for.

yeah exactly, I've been watching most of TL academy's matches, which has been making me watch more tier 2 in general
I hope more EU and NA teams lean in to them

Changes riot made to the schedule make it so easy as well

also love that many of the academy teams try to improve young talents of their own region, like Talon, the korean teams, GE, ...
wouldve liked to see a full dutch team or a half dutch team from TL too but the team they got is still very good
i hope it becomes more casual for the teams to have academy teams in the future
also TL got themselves insane talent, GSR is the next big thing after Sayonara
