On Feb. 4, FlyQuest and Cloud9 became the first tier-one League of Legends teams to stream their scrims in many years. But while it was a positive start, there is a lot to be done to prevent streaming scrims from turning into another champions queue disaster.
After multiple teams made their voices heard during the opening two weeks of the LTA, commissioner Mark Zimmerman announced that a temporary policy has been put in place, allowing teams to scream their scrims. Traditionally, LoL scrims have been played behind closed doors with teams wanting to reveal little-to-no information on the champions they have been practicing. But now, the shackles are off, and it’s up to the teams to make the magic.
