I'm pretty sure in previous years you couldn't change Pickems after the Knockout Stage was locked. This might be helpful for people that might underestimate some teams.

You are correct! This is a small change we made this year to help keep Pick'em interesting throughout the tournament.

Also, it definitely wasn't targeted at anyone (me) who always misses all their quarters picks (nope) and then ragequits before semis even begin (never).

Didn't we use to have fantasy leagues at least for NA/EU? Haven't been keeping up much though so not sure if it's still around or got cancelled

u/KlauseTheBear any inside scoop?

Yep, we did operate a traditional fantasy league game for NA/EU back in the day. I think it was retired around 3 years ago.

I still think the space is ripe for exploration, we just didn't have the best implementation at the time imo. It was actually a similar issue to last year's pick'em. Once someone lost a few early matches, there was no incentive to keep playing.

What are your thoughts on third party development of fantasy games for LCS/LEC?

I think it has already happened a bit right? And will likely continue to happen. But no one has nailed the "great" experience yet (imo), which is why I still want to see more.

Something that is fun, can be played with friends, and doesn't require me to check in EVERY DAY in order to be competitive. And also hopefully something that can keep me coming back week over week, even if i start to suck. Just give me epic losestreak rewards xDD

Not currently, but that is a cool "high-five" sorta idea. I like it. Maybe next year!
