Signs of Life from TSM, Immortals, and CLG
This week, TSM will face off against CLG in a historic rivalry that promises to be intense. Both teams are in desperate need of a win as they sit at the bottom of the standings. TSM will need to prove that they can win without relying solely on their star player, Tactical. CLG, on the other hand, needs convincing wins to turn their season around.
Immortals have shown potential despite their 2-4 record. With upcoming matches against CLG, FlyQuest, and Golden Guardians, they have a chance to climb up the standings. CLG, TSM, and Evil Geniuses have struggled this season, giving Immortals an opportunity to secure wins and potentially make a push for the playoffs.
Treading Water: Evil Geniuses and Golden Guardians
Evil Geniuses and Golden Guardians have hit a rough patch in week three. Both teams have fallen behind in the standings and need to regroup. Golden Guardians have struggled with their early game and objective control, while Evil Geniuses have faced challenges in their decision-making and overall gameplay. However, both teams have the potential to turn things around and make a comeback.
Cloud9’s Mystery and Struggles
Cloud9 entered the Spring Split with high expectations, but they have faced some unexpected challenges. The departure of their coach, LS, has raised questions about the team’s stability. Despite their struggles, Cloud9 still has time to bounce back under their new head coach, Max Waldo.
Sleeper Agents: FlyQuest and Dignitas
FlyQuest has surprised everyone with their strong performance this season. With five wins in six games, FlyQuest is proving to be a contender. They have upcoming matches against struggling teams like Evil Geniuses and a disoriented Cloud9, giving them a chance to assert their dominance.
Dignitas has also climbed up in the rankings despite a winless week. With teams like EG and C9 facing difficulties, Dignitas has an opportunity to rise even further. Though they face tough opponents in C9, Liquid, and 100T, they have the potential to turn things around.
Setting the Pace: Team Liquid and 100 Thieves
Team Liquid and 100 Thieves have established themselves as the top teams in the LCS. With star-studded lineups and impressive performances, both teams are favorites for a deep postseason run. Team Liquid’s strong macro play and 100 Thieves’ resilience make them teams to watch.
This weekend’s matches will be crucial for 100 Thieves as they face tough opponents in FlyQuest and Team Liquid. This will test their status as contenders for the top spot.
