Since I watch mostly the NA LCS I'll talk mainly about that but here's my thoughts on the EU LCS as well.



1. SK Gaming (18-10) - I think SK still have more growing to do as a team but their players are pretty good or decent at the very least. In my opinion, they have a 50% chance to win playoffs despite being seeded first.

2. Fnatic (17-11) - For some reason, I feel like Fnatic are gonna win playoffs. I hope it doesn't happen though cause I don't wanna see them win a 3rd time in a row. No offense to Fnatic fans.

3. Alliance (16-12) - At first, I had 0 faith in Alliance. I just didn't think a team of star players would be able to forsake their egos and work as a team. They proved me wrong. However, I still don't think they are THAT strong. They have more growing to do like SK.

4. Team ROCCAT (15-13) - Roccat have the individual and team skills. How they do in playoffs will depend on what kind of form they're in. If they're in their recent from, I think they'll lose to Gambit but they'll have a close series with the loser of Copenhagen Wolves vs Alliance.

5. Gambit Gaming (14-14) - This slump Gambit is in doesn't really surprise me. They've always been more of a tournament team. I think they will place in the Top 3 in playoffs for sure.

6. Copenhagen Wolves (13-15) - Basically the Wild Card team. They have the potential (oh the CLG pun..) but whether or not they use that potential for great things all depends on them.

7. Supa Hot Crew (10-18) - Too inconsistent. I honestly think they just weren't ready for the LCS. Maybe if they had more time to practice as a team they could be a Top 5 team.

8. Millenium (9-19) - They're just too..solo queue-ish right now. They're not playing as a team and it shows in their results. They also struggle to close out games and that's a huge problem they need to fix if they want to re-qualify for the LCS and perform well in the Summer Split.


And now for the NA LCS!



1. Cloud 9 (24-4) - C9 is still a really good team. 1st seed for them shouldn't surprise anyone. Their only problem in my opinion is that they have these random derp moments where they just get caught in lane or die for no apparent reason. Then again that happens to anyone. But C9's derpy moment are really random in my opinion.

2. Team SoloMid (22-6) - The moment I saw C9 tie with them for first place at the end of Week 10, I just knew C9 were gonna take 1st. To be completely honest, I'm sorta disappointed in TSM for slacking off right at the end and letting C9 pass them. However, I'm still a huge TSM fan so I will support them through thick and thin. I'm also kinda surprised Turtle didn't get an MVP award. Excluding Weeks 10 and 11, he played so well in almost every match. Dyrus also had a week where he could have gotten MVP. I think it was Week 4. In my opinion, the only reason they didn't give him MVP is because Bjergsen and OddOne got the award for Weeks 1,2 and 3. I'm guessing they didn't want to keep giving TSM the awards.

3. Counter Logic Gaming (18-10) - CLG are finally good again. Been ages since I've seen them do this well. I don't think they will win playoffs but I definitely think they will place in the Top 4. They are really smart with how they play right now. Dexter, Link and Aphro are doing a great job with the shotcalling in my opinion.

4. Team Dignitas (12-16) - They're still as inconsistent as always. 1 Week they're playing so well and then the next they're losing like a team that wants to get relegated. Dunno what it is with Dignitas but they are probably the most unpredictable team in the NA LCS. With the addition of Goldenglue, I think they'll improve a little bit but they will remain inconsistent and they probably won't be able to match C9, TSM and CLG.

5. Team Curse (11-17) - I actually think Curse can match the top 3 teams if they're having a good day. In my opinion, if they stick with this roster and practice with it for the summer split, we can expect some really good results from them. Even if they don't qualify for Worlds, they could turn the Top 3 in NA (C9, TSM, CLG) into the Top 4. Then again...it's Curse. I won't be surprised if they pull some crazy roster change again.

6. Team Coast (10-18) - Same as Curse, except their power is just too unbalanced. They focus a lot of power in their solo laners because they are quite good and they can carry games sometimes. However, their Jungler and Bot Lane are both underwhelming and weak. If Coast stop focusing all of their efforts on getting Zion or Shipthur fed and if they start playing as a 5 man unit (Nintendude and the Bot Lane have to step it up as well), then I think they can also match the Top 3 teams or at the very least put up good fights against them.

7. Evil Geniuses (8-20) - Overall, I think EG have been quite disappointing. I was really impressed by them in the Promotion Tournament but their play has been weak the entire split. I do hope they re-qualify for the LCS because I want to see if they are capable of good results if they find out what kind of a team they are. Also, Snoopeh and YellowPete need to step up in my opinion. Out of all EG players, I think those 2 have been playing the weakest. As much as I like them both, I can't lie.

8. XDG Gaming (7-21) - Well..dunno what to say here. They went from a Top 3 NA team that went to Worlds to a bottom tier LCS team. Very disappointing. Aside from ManCloud who has been having a rocky split, I don't think they are that skilled individually. Xmithie seems to have lost his jungling prowess and I think the swap they did at the start of the season was just a reset on his skills. He went from a weak Jungler to a super strong Jungler and now he's a weak Jungler again. Benny is a cool person so I feel a little bit bad for him but I do think he hasn't been performing very well. I think XDG are most likely not gonna be in the LCS Summer Split if they face LMQ. If they do beat LMQ however (very unlikely in their current state, imo) I think they might produce good results in the Summer Split because ManCloud could potentially get out of his slump and Xmithie could return to being a top Jungler in NA.
