Yes prohibiting your staff from producing their own content is a dick move , though I don ' t know exactly how true it is for some casters like Phreak , Riv or Krepo who can definitely stream . But I don ' t think the paying industry standards holds much sway , most event organizers in the industry do not have dozens of 247 paid casters . Why would they pay the same amount for them if they are not as huge of a necessity ? Also the not listening to criticism part is very on point imho . True they have some point on which they will not even discuss , but they seem to be more open on criticism levied directly at the game though . I am not disagreeing with the need for booths , but I haven ' t seem pros complain about the lack of booths since last year when CLG won at MSG . That ' s when people complained the most about the lack of booths , but not so much at Worlds this year or during either NA LCS finals . And although Riot having a monopoly on events is terrible from a competitive perspective , as a viewer I am happy that we see something as well produced as the LCS on a weekly basis , rather than IEMs or Shanghai Majors .
