  • Keep. It's hardly indiscriminate. The NA LCS is the top-tier of North American League of Legends (the most popular competitive video game in the world) and is only below the world championships, which isn't an organized league. Calling it a single tournament is a bit disingenuous: it's a nine week league of ten teams who play a double round robin, and then move on to separate playoff and relegation/promotion brackets. A set number of teams get promoted into and relegated from NA LCS for each season, and both the teams undergoing it and the process itself is widely reported on by sources that cover the competition.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The sourcing needs to be improved, but it certainly exists. I would probably restructure it to be more like List of Premier League clubs, but that's not a matter for AFD. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:30, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is a notable series, but what is the reason that there needs to be a list of all the teams that have competed? Isn't that something inherited by the individual season pages?

Why does there need to be a similar page for Premier League teams? All that information could also be discovered by just looking at the individual season pages as well, but it would be much more convenient to have the information on the same page. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:41, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, the article is only about the top tier teams, and since the tournament itself garners a lot of media attention It's hardly not-notable. Donald Trung (talk) 15:13, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
League of Legends is very notable and so is the tournament, but this list amounts to listcruft by listing off a wide spectrum that has no reason for being compiled, except maybe
