I'm trying to get hyped for finals and haven't been following LCS at all this season. Can i get a fair breakdown of NA vs EU nowadays ?
- na -
tsm upsetting c9 in the finals against what most ppl would've assumed the result be since c9 had never dropped a game in playoffs prior to those finals. tsm seems to be looking pretty solid off grabbing ex blaze support lustboy and generally seem to show more synergy and strategy overall.
c9 looks solid as always, nothing too special, they shit on curse in semifinals
third place belongs to lmq, a chinese team that moved to na and climbed from the challenger scene. they speak broken english but are totally adorable and their midlaner is the shit, na mvp of the season according to riot
pretty big surprise was clg getting shit on by curse and dignitas and falling down to relagations. lots of drama with clg coach resigning and future looking sort of grim. they still have decent players so they'll probably be in lcs next year
- eu -
the playoff finals were alliance vs fnatic, with alliance pretty handidly taking them down on i think 3-0? or 3-1? anywho first lcs ever not won by fnatic and they looked pretty outclassed, tho they really did their trademark "performing in playoffs" thing after a kind of rocky split
third place went to sk that started the split strong but lost steam mid way for some reason. they seem to have fixed some shit cos they won pretty solidly against roccat for the third place.
again the big thing here is prolly gambit going down to relegations, with alex going to nip, darien being removed, and the rest of the m5 guys not looking too sharp. sad days for gambit

is that useful?
I wonder if we'll ever have a full, 400-page LOLGAF thread that doesn't once degenerate into anime arguments and waifu wars. #thedream
sadly for you that doesn't seem to be an achievable dream
which is why instead of wasting breath complaining you should just push forward interesting discussion
