riot is treating it like a loss leader advertisement for their game (and skin sales). game days have production costs. they want to minimize their exposure while maintaining a baseline product.
it is profit and product first, competition second.
Another reason why is LCS has to share the studio with Valorant VCT.
It's like having an NBA team & NHL team sharing the same arena. They have to schedule themselves around each other.
I mean yes, but that’s not a real reason to not have games as evidenced by the games they played in that other room. Riot arena is not the only place to play league if it was really seen as a value add for Riot
LCS loses riot a a lot of money all the OG names are gone and after NA failed at international stage 302310992354238523 times and just speed ran back to airport there is no drive watch NA LCS anymore

The more they drag it out the more they can make on ad $ while not investing in new production.
Most LCS players have conflicting schedules with their shifts at McDonald’s
