LCS’ 2021 Summer Split All-Pro first team features players from 5 different organizations

After nine weeks of furious competition in the LCS, the league has revealed the five players who have earned 2021 Summer Split All-Pro first team honors. This is also the most diverse LCS All-Pro team we’ve seen in history since all five players come from different squads for the first time. Cloud9’s top laner Fudge, TSM’s young jungler Spica, Evil Geniuses’ mid laner Jiizuke, 100 Thieves’ AD carry FBI, and Team Liquid’s leader and support CoreJJ make up the All-Pro first team for the 2021 LCS Summer Split. All five

Immortals extend winning streak to four games against first-place 100 Thieves in LCS Summer Split week 8

The playoff-bound Immortals snatched their fourth straight win today with a convincing victory over 100 Thieves, North America’s strongest team. Although Immortals remained three games under the .500 mark coming into today’s contest, the team has been playing like a top-half contender in the LCS over the last two weeks. Immortals AD Carry Res was the difference maker in today’s contest, a role he exercised throughout the weekend for his team. His play on Draven has turned the champion into a signature pick after he posted a combined scoreline of

ESEA lifts ban on nosraC, vek, J0LZ

ESEA has lifted the bans of former Russian Canadians duo David "⁠J0LZ⁠" Jolin and Alex "⁠vek⁠" Voynov, as well as former Rebirth member Carson "⁠nosraC⁠" O'Reilly. The three players were suspended from the platform in April following the release of a transcript of a leaked recording by Dust2.us, in which they were implicated in discussions about match-fixing in a conversation between Sebastian "⁠retchy⁠" Tropiano and Kevin "⁠4pack⁠" Przypasniak, both of whom remain banned on ESEA. When reached for comment, an ESEA representative informed HLTV.org that nosraC's ban had expired at

100 Thieves bounce back from loss, defeat Liquid in week 7 of 2021 LCS Summer Split

Yesterday, 100 Thieves suffered a devastating loss to Dignitas, a game where North America’s number one team had no opportunity to show why they’ve reached the top of the standings. Today, however, that 100T squad was nowhere to be seen. 100T are renewing their win streak with a solid victory over Team Liquid, bringing their 2021 LCS record to 26-12. A standard draft from both teams resulted in a balanced game of League of Legends, and both sides had their share of advantages and disadvantages throughout the match. But 100T

LCS power rankings: 2021 Summer Split week 5

We’re two-thirds of the way through the 2021 LCS season and the race for the playoffs is finally kicking off. Teams are settling into the Summer Split and the top squads of the league are all jumping into one of the most high-leverage playoff races in LCS history.  After a split full of inexplicable roster changes, LCS teams will also be forced to lock their rosters ahead of the final playoff push, so we might finally be able to see which teams are truly dead set on being contenders toward

LCS power rankings: 2021 Summer Split week 4

The LCS is starting to look stable through four weeks, with many of the teams in the league settling into their spots in the standings ahead of the inevitable crunch time that is the playoff race.  Two teams in particular, TSM and 100 Thieves, have emerged as the summer’s top contenders and are trading blows at the top of the league. This comes after Cloud9 and Team Liquid dominated the top two spots in the LCS standings through the first half of the year. And although those two League of

Zven leads Cloud9 to victory over Golden Guardians in first LCS game since MSI 2021

After being benched by the organization last month, Cloud9 AD carry Zven returned to the lineup for his first on-stage match since last month’s Mid-Season Invitational, where C9 failed to reach expectations, settling for an early exit from their first international tournament in two years.  And frankly, Zven couldn’t have had a softer matchup for his Summer Split debut than the last-place Golden Guardians. Golden Guardians had only managed to muster up victories in six of their 27 games ahead of tonight’s contest—with one of those coming against C9 to

100 Thieves throttle Dignitas in week 4 of 2021 LCS Summer Split

100 Thieves has had Dignitas’ number all season long. The season series was 3-0 in 100T’s favor coming into tonight’s matchup between the two squads, and 100T made sure to keep their perfect record against Dignitas intact by securing a relatively straightforward 32-minute victory to open their slate of games in week four of the 2021 LCS Summer Split.  Tonight’s game marked the first of the season for Dignitas since the team officially released its benchmark jungler, Dardoch. Dardoch had played for Dignitas for a full year before being let

Abbedagge and FBI are the only players left with a double-digit KDA in the 2021 LCS Summer Split

After two weeks of play in the 2021 LCS Summer Split, there have already been some standout performances across the league among its various superstars. One team that’s looked great so far this season is 100 Thieves, a squad that now sits toward the top of the regular-season standings and the KDA leaderboard. At the end of week two, 100 Thieves’ new mid laner Abbedagge and budding star AD carry FBI are the only players left in the league with a double-digit KDA, with the former sporting an impressive 13.4

100 Thieves dominate Cloud9 in first win of 2021 LCS Summer Split

It seems Cloud9 are still struggling to find their footing after MSI, giving other League of Legends teams the chance to jump up in the NA standings.  100 Thieves picked up a convincing win against the second-place C9, retaining their fifth-place position yet creeping ever closer to tying with Liquid for fourth. While the match would have seemingly been in C9’s favor, their loss to Golden Guardians yesterday threw the results of this game up in the air. 100T took advantage of the weakened Spring Split champions, completely dominating the
