- As I reported last night, the tenth team to the North American LCS, the former slot of Team Impulse, was announced as "Phoenix1". There is, however,
no roster, no coach, no apparent owner as of this point. Until otherwise found, I will assume this is a Riot Games "contingency plan" to ensure "The Show Must Go On" -- something Riot has shown to be very good at, to the detriment of e-sports (which see three different situations which coalesced with the May 8 rulings.) - UPDATE 6:15 PDT: There is an apparent roster circulating Reddit, but it has not been confirmed on Riot's LCS website as of yet. At least one slot appears to be a former member of Team Impulse.
- And now word from the Pac-12: The Pac-12 will become the first college conference to sanction e-sports, and will broadcast them on their conference network. No word on which or how many games may be involved. A number of companies, including Riot and others, hold collegiate championships for their games.
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
