Riot Games has announced it'll delay the summer season of the League Championship Series for two weeks, and might cancel it altogether, following an ongoing conflict with the LCS Players Association.
As reported by PC Gamer, the LCSPA had voted in favour of a walkout earlier this week, to protest against changes made to the North American Challengers League which led to the elimination of seven teams ahead of the imminent start of the summer season. Riot's decision to change the league's rules could lead an estimated 70 people to lose their jobs.
In a statement shared on Twitter on Sunday, the LCSPA said the strike was a decision that players didn't take "lightly," adding: "We stand at this impasse because actions were taken by Riot without prior communication or discussion with the LCS players."
