[2023] Unprofessional LCS segment

Yesterday's LCS segment on TSM and Doublelift really missed the mark. Usually the LCS staff has pretty solid segments on storylines between players and teams but this one was tone deaf. I understand the drama behind them makes for an "interesting" storyline but the upbeat and joking tone given to a segment regarding possible player/staff bullying and abuse was absolutely unprofessional. Not to mention bringing up legal issues and possible abuse in an LCS segment at all seems inappropriate. Like some of the comments on the post game threads have said, imagine LEC bringing up G2 Carlos being friends with Andrew Tate and being removed in a segment. It's unheard of. Yes we want interesting story lines, but this is no way to do it.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for posting your feedback in this thread. We have been talking to TSM and our internal production team. While this was not intended to be disparaging to TSM and we tried to showcase the new faces on the team and storylines, after reviewing further we do feel like this was a miss and not in the direction we have been wanting to take LCS in terms of lifting up our teams and our new fun/entertaining approach. Hearing from you all helps us understand what resonates with our fans and we are discussing internally how to better support our teams and players in these types of segments as we try new things and continually adjust. Thanks for your feedback and we really appreciate it. 💜
