This will remove the promotion and relegation system entirely from the EU LCS. Similarly to the North American LCS, franchising will add to the EU LCS revenue sharing between the league, the teams, and the players. Another similarity to the NA LCS franchising deal will add a new minimum player salary to the EU LCS, which will guarantee players a salary of at least $73,000, starting next year. After just one split, it seems Riot is happy enough with results of franchising to bring the project to

Over the last five years worth of splits, TSM has never missed a North American finals. Now, for the first time in NA LCS history, TSM won’t be in the finals, but none of the other champions will either. So, with all previous NA LCS Finalists eliminated from playoffs — or the league in the case of Immortals and Good Game University — North America is finally going to get a new champion. Familiar faces from finals past will still be around when the NA LCS heads to Miami. But even if these familia

After nine weeks of tense competition and seven different tie breaker matches, the LCS playoffs are finally here. While the top two teams in each league receive a week off as a reward for their regular season play, the other four playoff teams will duke it out in each region’s quarterfinals. Each of the LCS playoff matches will be broadcast on the Riot Games Twitch channel and Youtube channel, as well as on LoL Esports. This will be the first time a Thursday match from the NA LCS Academy series

The Spring Split has come to an end with one of the most jam packed days in NA LCS history. The week’s biggest winner is, without a doubt, 100 Thieves who finished the Spring Split in first place. TSM came together as a team at just the right moment moving from barely being safe in sixth place, to securing themselves a third place spot in the Spring Split playoffs. The final two teams in the NA LCS playoffs are Team Liquid and Clutch Gaming, who are both frustrating models of inconsistency. With

It’s the final week of the LCS Spring Split and just a few matches stand between the top six teams of each LCS region and the playoffs. The one team whose fate remains most up in the air is Counter Logic Gaming. CLG’s most pivotal match up of the week is their face off against long time rivals TSM, who also sit directly on the playoff line. The two teams will face off on Sunday as one of the last regular season matches of the NA LCS Spring Split. Any tie breakers that are required in any of the

In the second to last week of the NA LCS Spring Split, the league got a whole lot more complicated. Then Clutch Gaming beat Echo Fox in the first match and things got a little out of control. Top teams started falling, and we got a whole new look at which teams in the NA LCS are the best. Once the indisputable favorites in the league, now Echo Fox is in a bit of a spiral. Just this week, they took down Echo Fox and lost to Team Liquid in the same week.

Riot announced late Monday that it would be adding a brand new broadcast to its weekly League of Legends content called Must Watch Matches. According to Riot’s announcement, Must Watch Matches are a selection of the three best and most interesting series across the LCK, LPL, NA LCS, and EU LCS each week as selected by a panel of casters from each region. These matches will then be rebroadcast in their original form, one after the other. These rebroadcasts will be shown on Riot’s YouTube and Twit

Update: The beloved C9 ADC and streamer has done it again, but this time with Pizza Delivery Sivir. Everyone is wigging out because Zachary “Sneaky” Scuderi of Cloud9 has posted some of his Dark Elementalist Lux cosplay and it’s good. The cosplay is apparently a treat to his fans for subscribing to his Twitch channel. He’s worked maid outfits and even a Star Guardian Urgot cosplay on stream in the past. Scuderi will definitely be streaming in this outfit sometime and you can check out his Twitch

Last week, things looked pretty set in stone in the NA LCS. And while most of that information may still be true, week seven gave us some pretty big question marks about the league’s leading team. While no one would have guessed it heading in, far and away the week’s most important game was Golden Guardians carefully planned and perfectly executed upset against Echo Fox. This loss prevented Cloud9 from claiming a tie for first forcing them to continue chasing Echo Fox in the split’s last two wee

What exactly are the teams trying to do? The strategy revolves around buffing a siege minion using Banner of Command, which makes the minions significantly tankier, while also giving them an additional 100 attack damage. In other words, these minions suddenly become very powerful and great at taking turrets. Nestled deep within 8.4’s massive patch notes was a small bug fix that correct an issue where siege minions weren’t dealing the proper amount of damage to turrets. Now that those issues are

Playoffs are closing in fast, with only three weeks to go in the LCS Spring Split. While it may not be the EU LCS’s marquee match up this week, H2K facing off against Unicorns of Love is likely the region’s most important game. Meanwhile, in North America, the key battle will be between TSM and FlyQuest as both teams sit right around the sixth place playoff cut. For TSM, week six was their best of 2018 so far, if they can keep that up against FlyQuest, their spot in playoffs will be almost secur

If you hadn’t paid attention to the 2018 Spring Split before this week, it would seem pretty unassuming. After all, TSM won both games and otherwise the rosters that look strongest on paper pulled off victories. For TSM, this marks only the second time all split that the team has managed a 2-0 week, a stark reminder of just how poorly things have gone so far this year. While the past couple of weeks may have looked a little like 100 Thieves were fading away, week six helped to firmly plant them
