Comebacks Highlight Start of 2022 LCS Spring Split
The beginning of the 2022 LCS Spring Split has been marked by impressive comebacks from major deficits. Despite recent controversy, Cloud9 and TSM, two teams that have played a significant role in the growth of the LCS, showcased their resilience and kept the trend alive, proving that pro League of Legends games are not over until one Nexus falls.
Cloud9 Bounces Back Against TSM
Cloud9, amidst recent scrutiny, found their stride and finished week three of the LCS 2022 Spring with a 4-2 record, after a convincing victory over TSM.
The early game favored TSM as Spica’s strategic moves led to eight kills within the first ten minutes. However, Blaber’s exceptional objective steals turned the tide in Cloud9’s favor and paved the way for their victory. (youtube video URL)
TSM and Cloud9 in the Limelight
TSM, who recently made changes to their starting support, faced criticism and announced that Shenyi would be switching spots with Academy support, Yursan. This decision led to Yursan playing a pivotal role in TSM’s first win of the split against Immortals after a rough start to the season. (youtube video URL)
Cloud9 also faced a sudden change as their head coach, LS, was released just minutes before their match against CLG. Max Waldo, the former assistant coach, took over as the head coach. This unexpected event seemed to impact C9’s performance, and they suffered their first loss of the LCS 2022 Spring split against CLG. (youtube video URL)
Draft Choices and Comeback
Cloud9 decided to opt for more comfortable picks in their draft choices, which they had practiced throughout the week. Despite a major lead in TSM’s favor, thanks to a standout performance from Spica’s Xin Zhao, Blaber once again stole a Baron, completely shifting the momentum in Cloud9’s favor. The team took advantage of the game-changing steal and confidently pushed towards TSM’s Nexus for the win. (youtube video URL)
