This page amounts to
Listcruft. Beyond its trivial, unencyclopedic premise of simply listing teams that have competed in a single tournament over the years- which can be found on each of the seasonal NA championship pages- there are no references and the only links it has to other pages are the ones from that template at the bottom, which is dubious content in itself.
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

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.

List of Premier League clubs, but that's not a matter for AFD. ----

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. ----

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.
