"This is the best year LCS has had thus far": LS defends League of Legends' most controversial region

sportskeeda.com:

League of Legends fans continue to criticize LCS for practically every setback, despite developer Riot Games' constant efforts to revitalize the region with fresh ideas and unique content.

In response to this, former caster and pro-play coach Nick "LS" De Cesare appeared on Travis Gafford's podcast on February 13 and discussed how he thinks the region is having its finest year so far.

Being a critic and "negative LCS persona," as LS is referred to by League of Legends fans, the former pro-play caster believes that the current year's region is much better than it has ever been. When Gafford, the host, asked LS about his thoughts on the ongoing LCS drama, he stated:

The League of Legends expert confirmed his awareness of the ongoing LCS drama, but according to him, that doesn't mean that fans should label an entire tournament as terrible. Instead, he felt that the community must begin appreciating what Riot Games is doing.

LS complimented Riot's efforts to make the North American league more compelling and immersive, both on stage as well as in the new segments:

He asserts that unlike the current split, Riot and the LCS have never integrated players with entire segments on them during breaks. Continuing on this topic, LS said:

As a co-streamer, LS considers these efforts to be an improvement that makes the broadcast easier to detect and more enjoyable to watch. These interesting bits of content have greatly increased audience engagement, especially during commercial interruptions.

For many fans, this year's tournament is entertaining to watch as well. Although FlyQuest may be the only League of Legends team on the LCS leaderboard with a definite spot in the top four, LS believes that the LCS is currently on a favorable path:
