Player schedules are already strenuous, now you're going to add constant travel? That seems like a bit much.

Is Riot fronting the money for these teams to fly their players across the country each week?

Well he didn't say every single week, Riot is also looking to completely restructure the current format.

I think the point is, big big changes are coming for LCS.

The 2 split with playoffs and then worlds is definitely changing from the sounds of it, with more majors both locally and internationally.

As far as traveling every few weeks or so for regular season, I would imagine that would be deducted from the global revenue when the League becomes franchised.

If the organizations become franchises, they will share all of the LCS's revenue, like pro sports.

He also says "We'll see how the events they have planned for after Worlds go", so there must be something new in the works for that time period where normally it's preseason and nothing on the LCS front until the Spring Split outside of All Stars.
