The LCS is coming back this weekend for the start of the 2020 Summer Split.
Ten of the best League of Legends teams in North America are competing for the opportunity to represent their region and compete for the Summoner’s Cup at this year’s World Championship.
The top three teams from the Summer Split will attend Worlds and face off against teams from Europe, China, Korea, and the rest of the world. North America has a poor track record on the international stage, but the region will look to improve this year with Cloud9 leading the way.
Fresh off a roster reshuffle in the 2019 offseason and saying goodbye to longtime player Sneaky, C9 has become the top team in North America. C9 finished the spring regular season with a 17-1 record and dominated the playoffs. The addition of Danish ADC Zven and Canadian support Vulcan has taken the team to new heights.
Evil Geniuses, led by former world champion Bang and newly-signed top laner Huni, will also aim for the top spot. FlyQuest, 100 Thieves, TSM, and Team Liquid are also eager to showcase their skills and prove themselves in the spotlight.
