Looking at the current common ground, it can be seen that only a few teams like G2, 100 Thieves or Cloud9 are having a stable economic source. In order to thrive, e-sports teams must largely depend on sponsorships, sales events, streaming activities, and a large audience. So if the team is not successful, the organization will definitely sell the tournament slots to someone else. This is considered a reasonable way for the bottom teams to solve financial problems. For many of the above reasons, the LCS and LEC communities will see similar deals in these two tournaments in the future.
