It’s hard to believe that this is the tenth year that we will be able to admire the best League of Legends players from North America. Over the years, the league increased the number of teams, created a franchise system and visited the largest arenas of the continent. Riot Games has announced many attractions for this year – special guests, awards and activities.
The first game ended in surrender
League of Legends Championship Series hit the screens of fans for the first time on February 7, 2013. In the first game of the evening, two teams that are still one of the brightest points on the North American LoL landscape: Team SoloMid and Counter Logic Gaming.
Looking at the rerun of the meeting from the perspective of ten years, we can count on a powerful dose of nostalgia. At that time, such legends as Dyrus, HotshotGG and Doublelift had their careers. In the top lane, on the TSM side, we could testify to Elise, while the bottom of our opponents was the duo of Urgota and Taric. It was also unconventional to end the game, as after the 38th minute of the game one of the teams decided to surrender. Surrender in the present day of LoL are unheard of.
We will start the year with a bang
This year’s struggles within the LCS will be initiated on January 14th. However, it will not be a typical league competition, but a competition in the form of a tournament. All ten teams will be divided into two groups, where they will compete against each other in a single round-robin format. The play-offs will feature eight best teams that will follow the classic tournament ladder to victory. The best formation will win 150,000. dollars.
The LCS 2022 Lock in tournament will be held for the second year in a row and will give the teams a chance to test their skills in battle. In 2021, medals hung around the necks of Team Liquid players. In this year’s edition, it is definitely worth focusing on two formations: Evil Geniuses, where Inspired plays, and Cloud9, which has recently been run by the famous League of Legends theorist Nick “LS” de Cesare.
