After a series of roster shakeups and additions, notably Mateusz “Kikis” Szkudlarek in the jungle, Ocelote finally built a Gamers2 roster that would find success. Taking down SK Gaming in the promotion series, Gamers2 qualified for the 2016 EU LCS Spring Split. The team would later rebrand to G2 Esports following their qualificat
Invictus Gaming, despite their success in the regular season, looked absolutely lost, and couldn’t secure even a single win. On the Korean side of things, DragonX seemingly had a lead with three dragons every game, before choking in the late game almost every time. T1, barring Faker, struggled heavily and threw their leads away as w
Ucal and Smeb previously won the LCK title with KT Rolster back in Summer 2018. The two will look to do the same again, as they compete against T1, Gen.G, DragonX, DAMWON, and more for that heavily contested right to call themselves champions of Ko

In the west, G2 Esports and Cloud9 look like two of the strongest teams to ever play in their respective regions. G2 just recently lost to FunPlus Phoenix in the 2019 World finals while a North American team has never made it out of the semi-finals. With the lack of international competition, the chaos caused by COVID-19, and the Asian teams just looking weaker than usual, this could be the west’s chance to finally secure themselves a ti
