LCS reportedly set to downsize to 8 teams as Riot, owners hold crisis meeting
On the eve of the biggest celebration on the League of Legends competitive calendar, it has been reported that the North American League Championship Series is set to downsize following a supposed meeting between Riot Games and team owners.
League personality Michael “Veteran” Archer claims the meeting was held possibly as recently as this week where Riot heads and LCS team owners “floated the idea of reducing [the league] from 10 teams to eight.” A decision on how the league will be operated is expected as early as this Monday, Veteran said.
