Big fan of Jackie, props to her for coming on. She's got an amazing resume and it already looks like she's bringing some great ideas to the LCS. Looking forward to 2023.

Thank you so much! The entire LCS team has done so much this year and really happy with some of the things we've tested for summer and coming up for Chicago... so hoping 2023 is moving in the direction you guys are hoping for as well <3
Lol why does she have a camera filter that makes her look like I am trippin
I didn't want anyone to see my messy bedroom in the background ;)
Looking more into local development, I've come to the conclusion that amateur leagues may have the ability to revive League in NA.
Unlike Solo Q, amateur leagues puts you face to face with real people instead of 9 faceless figures across a screen. Toxicity within a team will more than likely be shut down immediately by staff, and behavioral issues if not solved with simply be removed. A team setting also promotes learning and growth mindsets, instead of the mindless, spin the slot machine hypnosis that soloq causes. I've personally found that amateur leagues are a far better and rewarding experience than soloq.
If Riot can support programs at the high school level and promote collegiate, as well as foster and advertise independent tournaments and leagues it would be a very positive change for the region.
That's the hope <3
Dang I missed the Jackie Episode flying back from vegas! Had a couple topic ideas I really wanted to bring on the show that always seem to be ignored when talking LCS (though jackie has briefly mentioned it in AMAs, she has been great imo so far.)
But really want to get into the LCS branching out of the boring LCS studio and trying to make connections to younger audiences across the country in something like a homestand.
Feel free to add your thoughts in the LCS feedback channel on Discord. Happy to respond there if there are questions you wanted to ask that you didn't get the chance to :)
Great show, thanks for joining /u/jackfelling. It might be too late to implement at this point (I didn't think of it during your previous feedback thread), but if you were looking for feedback from fans have you considered having a QR code and link (emphasis on "and") shown on broadcast that takes people to a survey to gauge interest on different ideas or get a sentiment on other feelings about the LCS? Something like one of the slides during ad breaks like you'd see for the Grubhub deal or the Mastercard deal. I've gotten survey pop-ups in the client relating to the game before and that's neat, so having an open survey shown like during finals where there's the most eyes watching could bring more feedback than you'd normally see only on Reddit or Twitter (probably also more trolls). Even as a trial run for the open survey link, sample questions could be about what people think about the live comms, or players being involved on the broadcast, or quality of content, or what would they like to see for next year.
Thanks again for joining the stream and always being open with the community.
Good idea!
It was a mixed bag to me but overall positive.
All the mentions of being data driven is the exact opposite of what I wanted to hear. Especially in regards to changing broadcast times and dates to reach the maximum number of people. Will changing broadcast dates and times for the millionth time increase viewership by like 10%? Probably, I'm sure the data is correct on that. However, if you make a compelling product and advertise the league well, people will come to watch regardless. The amount of times that the LCS has changed its broadcast time, broadcast dates, format etc. over the last handful of years is laughable.
However, hearing her draw comparisons with the MLS and its youth development systems was exactly what I wanted to hear. It's by far the best North American sports league to look toward. The two leagues face very similar challenges: weak leagues in a global sport, smaller playerbase, but both have an ability to attract foreign talent.
The difference is that the MLS and US Soccer have become extremely good at developing talent with its MLS Next initiative. The MLS has also become smarter at the types of players that it brings over. Obviously the Chiellini and Bale transfers add to the retirement league image, but generally the MLS is moving away from that, instead indexing heavily into young Latin-American talents. And the US National team is having a snowball effect of young talent. They'll likely show up to the World Cup as the youngest team there, The U20 team is annihilating everyone regionally, and the US is supposed to have a ridiculously talented 2006 birth year group. The MLS has made insane strides in a short amount of time, and I think you could see the same with LCS.
All that being said, I fully expect the minor region import rules to be abolished starting next year. It's just terrifying to think what will happen, and it's unfortunate that no one asked, or the questions were passed over/avoided
Thanks, appreciate your feedback positive or negative! Increasing viewership and sentiment around the LCS is going to come down to (in my opinion) several different initiatives and approaches that tackle different problems... and hopefully the sum of those parts is what improves LCS overall :)
Thank you for interacting with the community. I know reddit is a vocal, but very small slice of LCS fans, so it's nice to see those at the top listening.
Cheers!
What discord is this? Ive checked both the sub reddits and travis's discord but I havent seen either with a feedback channel
Not sure if I'm allowed to post this but it's discord.gg/lcs. Once you're in there click the "feedback" channel!
