LCS Players Association head says unions for LoL and VALORANT players won’t happen without Riot
The LCS Players Association and the Americas VALORANT Player Association both seek to provide support to North American League of Legends and VALORANT players and player rights, with both groups maintaining a communicative relationship with Riot Games. But one of the association’s leaders says Riot won’t commit to being at the table for collective bargaining or unions.
When asked about forming a proper union during an AMA on the VALORANT competitive subreddit today, Phil Aram, executive director of the LCSPA, said that while unions are great, they ultimately won’t accomplish much without Riot’s involvement.
