The penultimate weekend of LCS Spring Split is complete, and on this week's PROS, Azael is joined by representatives from each of our finals weekend teams: Lyon Inspired, Team Liquid Alienware Josedeodo, and Cloud9 Kia Zven. SPOILERS AHEAD!
The group starts by diving into today's series between LYON and C9, and the unexpected sweep that punched Lyon's ticket to MSI and the LCS Grand Final next Sunday. They discuss what went wrong for C9, what went right for LYON, and if Cloud9 ever has a chance to break their post-season curse.
Then the pros give their thoughts on Saturday's series between TLAW and FLY, giving props to the young, up-and-coming roster of players on Flyquest for fighting valiantly, but ultimately showing their inexperience versus a Team Liquid that is gaining momentum towards the final.
Finally, the squad discusses the Kia All-Pro teams, who was deserving, who was snubbed, and why it seemed like both C9 and LYON had it out for Josedeodo (despite being ultimately unsuccessful).
Next week, all these players will take to the stage at Arizona State University's Mullet Arena, but only one will lift the trophy as the LCS Spring Champion. Be sure to tune in next Saturday & Sunday, June 13 & 14, for the thrilling conclusion of the LCS Spring Split!
