Since the day the closed leagues were established, they have harshly criticized an important part of the society, especially the European part, which is not used to this system of competition. It was an event requested by the late H2K, which still hasn’t gotten approval from Riot Games to continue participating in builds, especially the LEC. That doesn’t stop some teams from thinking they’re sitting in place (random Astralis) and ambitious builds preventing them from reaching the LEC (random Crimson. But it says random).
Astralis Bad Student LEC
Initially, this build was intended to compete with the best European and even world teams to achieve the well-known old goal of xPeke and Origen. If the results have never justified the stated ambitions, the latter have nevertheless arisen. But in a year the question deserves to be asked again. By the end of 2020, most sailors at the time had abandoned ship. And the refills are much less prestigious. It will be good if the team tries to build a new team around a new generation of players, but even the hiring of an Australian will remain questionable. It’s been over a year since the team was really convinced, and when we realized that Legends of Australia had an episode of 16,000 social media followers, Karmine Corp had over 300,000 followers and KOI had 475,000. , Astralis had it all covered. this has changed. each of these two teams can only be useful to the LEC.
How to remedy this situation?
At this point, Astralis cannot, at least involuntarily, lose its place. This could change if Riot Games decides to change the LEC rules, such as if a team doesn’t make the playoffs at least every 4 years (remember that 6 out of 10 teams make the playoffs). commitment to sell if a serious buyer comes along. This editing point does not exist today, but it is impossible to change the rules.
It’s not as unusual as one might think. Some NBA and NFL teams have had to sell their spots after speaking out against racism and sexism. The league can buy out teams in financial difficulty to find a new buyer. The most recent example is the New Orleans Hornets, which were sold to the league in 2010. On the other hand, there was no resale after sports results (or absences). The Sacramento Kings celebrated their 16th year without the NBA playoffs and it looks like the streak is unlikely to end.
