Can ' t challenge under 2 minutes of courseTHESE FUCKING REFS <| sep |> At this point , Ken winning would be more bizarre than any of Zeke , David , Jay , or Hannah winning . Unless he ' s being shielded from the total clusterfuck of the early merge . But , we ' re just not seeing where his head is at , and even when the winner is not good at confessionals , we see where their head is at periodically . He had one inconsequential confessional in last night ' s double header . <| sep |> The whole franchising thing stems from riot not being willing to sell broadcasting rights . And never in a million years will they share those rights . The core issue of the arguement obviously comes down to money . And only money . Without money the lcs couldn ' t possibly exist . So having come to this conclusion , we can see two outcomes franchising and relegations . Relegations for relegations to exist , for the sake of competitive stability , economic stability must be achieved , this is tricky because investors wont invest , therfor Riot will inevitably be the ones paying the teams this required revenue increase . this scenario is plausible if riot will pay basically . Franchising this is done to stabilize the market of lcs , allowing more marketing of the core ten teams . This scenario allows for better rookie development and monetary stability through the investors at the cost of competitve integrity of the bottom 3 teams . However in this scenario riot wont have to pay the teams ad sponsers will give them a larger source of revenue . In summation this whole situation comes down to economic stability of the lcs , any logical person would agree that lcs cant exist if teams lose money , this is obvious , and since VC has entered the system . A larger influx of cash has to subsidize the other teams or their players will be poached , which also ruins competitive integrity . This whole argument comes down to 3 things , riot will franchise and allow teams to make money . Relegations will stay but riot will have to fork out more money highly unlikely , or the lcs will fold upstrike .
