How the LCS is set to change eSports in 2017 - EsportsForce
Riot are a bit antsy to get the new year started in League of Legends, so 2017's starting a little earlier than expected. We've looked at a lot of the ways in which the game itself will be changing, with the assassin reworks and jungle changes headed to the Rift, but, as always with eSports, the game is only half the story.

What are your opinions on franchising? I am kind of leaning towards it. Relegation works in European soccer because you can still make money if you are not in the top tier. But being in Challenger League I'm sure makes no money.
So for me. I believe it would be a great move for eSports as a whole. What I tend to see if broke players trying there hardest to earn a penny on Stream while working their way up to a possible team. Many great players have to fall out of the race to the top simply due to lack of income to live off. I'm not saying they would get rich off something like this, but maybe the upcoming players could start to earn a few more dollars to stay focused on improving their game instead of having to drop the game to find more income.
Then again I may misunderstand a few key aspects of what this would be exactly, so going to read some more and then try to follow the story on it.
I'm no expert either. But I agree with you. It's important for a more steady path to pro. A lot of these pros are 17 year old kids. They need a way to live.
