Riot just delayed the start of LCS by two weeks and is putting pressure on the top teams: "... we would be prepared to cancel the entire LCS summer season. Carrying this forward, if the LCS summer season is canceled, this will also eliminate LCS teams qualifying for 2023 Worlds."
Do NA pros still pretend they have a chance at Worlds? Last time I checked, NA was already a retirement home for washed up EU/KR pros and a stepping stone for NA players who want to pivot towards being an esports content creator/commentator. Riot already showed favoritism for what is essentially a glorified wildcard region, not that I particularly care since Riot sucks anyways.

LCS teams hate going to worlds, since they get mega embarassed and exposed every time they play someone who outside North America.
