[Meta] Esports content in the main League community (self.leagueoflegends)

A concern that would get brought up very often on the main LoL subreddit is the inclusion of Esports/pro-player content, with no simple way to filter it out for users that aren't interested in that side of LoL. The moderators never budged on this.

Ideally Esports/pro-player content would have its own community to live in, but a good middle-ground would be to require posts to be labelled with a relevant prefix, like [Esports], [Pro], [Art], [Discussion], as examples.

I think a decision on this should be made sooner rather than later!

Thank you

I'm not a fan of the esports posts, specifically game threads. I'd like to make a suggestion for the game threads, which tend to clog up the entire front-page (of the community).

Can we instead create a pinned post that contains all of the game threads for the the day? Or maybe a 3 day window game posts. Yesterday, today, tomorrow?

At the very least, yes, we need to create tags to allow users to filter out esports posts. I actually think just [Esports] is too vague. There needs to be two levels, [EsportsMatch] and [EsportsNews] because I think those are different classifications. My biggest issue is with game day threads that I care zero about clogging up this communities homepage.
