The Best League of Legends Teams from North America and Europe to Compete at IEM San Jose
The top two League of Legends teams from North America will be facing off against the two best teams from Europe at the upcoming Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) San Jose tournament. This will be an exciting opportunity for League fans to witness international competition, just one month after the Riot World Championships. The tournament will take place on November 21 to 22 at the SAP Center in San Jose, where thousands of fans will gather to witness the intense matches of League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Fnatic and Origen Lead the European Teams, Counter Logic Gaming and Team SoloMid Represent North America
In a similar fashion as last year’s IEM San Jose, the teams were determined through fan voting. Fnatic and Origen, the finalists in the latest League Championship Series (LCS) season, earned the European vote. Meanwhile, Counter Logic Gaming and Team SoloMid, both renowned for their dedicated fanbases, emerged as the winners of the American vote.
A Chance for SoloMid to Seek Redemption
Counter Logic Gaming’s recent victory in the LCS season playoffs has boosted their position in the fan polls. In the past, they struggled to secure top rankings due to disappointing playoff results. However, their convincing 3-0 victory over SoloMid in the playoffs has significantly improved their standing. At IEM San Jose, SoloMid will have an opportunity for revenge against Counter Logic Gaming, assuming they don’t face each other at Worlds in October.
Full Lineup of Competing Teams Yet to be Announced
While the top teams from North America and Europe are locked in, the complete lineup of attending teams is still unknown. Last year’s event featured six teams, including squads from Mexico and Brazil. Fans can expect a diverse and competitive roster of teams for this year’s tournament.
