Let's say you're really Fut Coins into football. Let's say you're so into football that you'd rather, I don't know, watch this week's game than attend the birth of your first child. Now, imagine your favorite team--which performed quite well last season--is gearing up for a new year of competitive play. Only, right before the season starts, the NFL suddenly announces that your team has been disqualified and won't be competing this year at all, because WHOOPS, the team's manager didn't fill out the necessary roster paperwork by his, ahem, third deadline extension. Such is the case for Lemondogs, a World Championship-contending (err, ex-World Championship-contending) League of Legends team whose story is but one instance of the negligence proliferating the eSports scene.

Lemondogs' tale, as reported by OnGamers, is tragic. The team was a new yet dominant addition to the competitive scene in 2013, and was successful enough in tournament play to earn a spot in the 2014 League Championship Series (LoL's equivalent of the NFL). Suddenly, the majority of the Lemondogs roster bailed before the upcoming season had begun (bad management, perhaps?), so a new team had to be established and registered. Here's where things get a bit tricky--I'm going to give it to you fast and dirty, because it's not the point of this article.
