I was redacting the League Of Legends's LCS situation but, Rio Games has backpedaled an early decision that LCS organizations would have been required to field an NACL team by mandate.
Teams were already announcing walking out of the NA tournament taking place on June 1st as they saw the requirement intrusive and were NOT discussed in anyways with them.
Remains to see if this serves as a persuasive of having teams coming back as their demands includes:
1. Institute a Valorant-style promotion and relegation between the LCS and NACL.
2. Riot commits to a revenue pool for player salaries of $300K USD per NACL team per year.
3. Allow LCS organizations to partner with affiliates for cost-sharing.
4. Riot guarantees LCS minimum contracts for the following year for the 5 players who win the LCS summer finals each year.
5. Institute a 3/5's roster continuity rule to provide players on released NACL rosters 1st priority in maintaining their slots in the upcoming NACL season if a majority continue to compete together.
