NLC doesn't pay their talent. They can pay you 5 months late for work last June and ignore your late fee, then when you question them about your late fee being unpaid they string you along or ignore you until February! After which their accounting messages you for the first time since 2024 after many many emails and messages saying actually no they won't be paying late fees because they fucked up their finances! Here is a small snippet of my attempt at communication!

We could have had 2 LEC sister teams in the NLC potentially with LR returning after LEC Versus, a Ruddy that fully commits to the league again and an ERL revitalised with interest and investment with strong ERL talent in an ecosystem that is downward spiralling. Instead we have a plat streamer competing, 3/10 teams who are not competitively viable and a catastrophe of a broadcast where 3/5 "hosts" from what I can tell have little to no direct history with League of Legends or broadcasting at all. I'm all for trying new things but what's happening in the NLC right now is an appalling joke and spits on the legacy of the brand and region. Thanks Mathias Horn, Product Manager of the NLC, you are doing God's work! May you never touch a job in esports again after the decisions you have made here.
