Yep, it is real. Another goof up by PGI which got compounded by even more of PGI's goof up.

Whee drama threads and drama click-bait titles.

Will people ever get tired of this being the generic go-to content on youtube these days? I certainly hope so.

They didn't even have the balls to delete it - It just requires mod permissions to access.

One of the very first things they should have put into their entry contract was fair use for promotion of team names, logos etc.

This whole e-sports angle is just someone's ego.

It's almost as though PGI is a shovelware developer managed by people without the modesty necessary to hire employees or consultants with the expertise needed to meet any of their game development, PR, or business goals.

Hhhhmmmmmmmm....

I removed it on my own accord because I was not sure the Authors authenticity to the issue.

I have played League of Legends since beta and I know they sell the team logos and split them with the teams.

I also assumed that is what they were doing here.


Here is their logo page

Celebrate Summer Split with LCS team icons
BY MAGUS

Summer is here and it’s time to kick-off another exciting LCS split. Celebrate the start of Summer Split by grabbing your favorite team icon from North America and Europe for 250 RP each. Unlock an LCS team icon to cheer on and support your favorite team from the Rift.
Want to support the entire League or can’t pick a favorite team? Unlock all 10 of the NA LCS or EU LCS icons as a bundle for 2000 RP. These bundles and all LCS team icons will be available throughout Summer Split.

Elements recently redesigned their team logo and Enemy Esports requested some color adjustments so their team icons will be updated by Patch 5.11.
As with Spring Split, when you purchase a team icon, 20% of the price goes directly to the team and 80% supports esports (prizes, broadcast, events, etc.)
You won’t want to miss any of the epic LCS match-ups especially with spots at the 2015 World Championship on the line. Catch all the LCS Summer Split action starting on May 28 over on Lolesports.




20% / 80% sounds fine, I cannot believe how bone headed PGI is about this esports nonsense.

You know what i like best about this website? Hosting an article named "... Devs shows how to not do crowdfunding in esports" when they themselves did a 60k heartstone tournament and then were actually unable to pay the winners Posted Image .

"The company was unable to actually pay the top finishers of the competition and refused to answer questions concerning the matter. Later on April 13, 2016 it announced it would pay out the prize money if another organization would pick up all associated costs, excluding the prize pool."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PVP_Live

Talking about how to do things in esports. Topkek.

I don't like that guy.

Maybe I should comment to all his videos and see if I can succeed in making him look stupid.

Not a fan of people like him breaking journalistic integrity by portraying their own biased opinions as news or facts.
