The League of Legends Championship Series Players Association has walked out just days before the series opener in a show of solidarity with it's other members who lost their jobs overnight. The TL;DR of the situation is that team owners were complaining that running a tier 2 league (the NACL, or North American Challenger's League) was too expensive. As a result Riot Games, the league owner, dropped the requirement to field a tier 2 roster. 7/10 teams immediately dropped their players and the other 3 were in limbo.
The LCSPA then walked out forcing Riot to delay the season by two weeks because literally no one was willing to play. Riot even tried removing certain long standing rules about player eligibility.
So now negotiation is just beginning, and nothing has been won yet, but I just wanted to draw attention to this show of solidarity from not only all the players but also the community/fans in what otherwise is an extremely cutthroat scene.
