Invictus Gaming vs Snake Preview
by Michael "Tribble" Godani
This match is for third / fourth place in the LPL Spring Split, but what is that really worth? Honor, respect and money. The winner of this match will obtain 250,000 CYB (approx. €37.4k ) and the loser will get 200,000 CYB (approx. €30k). That’s a lot of money but what can we expect from these two teams who have been wanting to reach the finals? Will Snake be able to recuperate after the demolishing sweep brought to them by LGD? Was Invictus Gaming's loss justified or was it just as much of a beating as Snake took? There are a lot of questions that will be answered next Saturday. Read More...

TSM and Cloud 9 get Ready to Rumble in the NA LCS Spring Split Finals!
by Jodi McClure
Last year when Cloud 9 met TSM in the LCS Finals, Meteos and his highly-skilled band 3-0'd them. Granted, it was a Lustboyless TSM with Odd One and Xpecial still in the mix, and the meta was completely different, but credit where credit is due. Cloud 9 are not a push over team by any stroke of the imagination, and even though TSM have had a superlative split, there's zero guarantees they'll be holding that big check at the end. Both teams have performed amazingly well. Cloud 9 had a slower start then TSM but slammed home a stronger finish. Turtle has been all flashy kills while Sneaky is the focused, mechanical giant. TSM excels at rotations and taking down turrets while Cloud 9 likes their objectives. It's all too beautifully even. If I were to stick my neck out and pick a winner of this Best of Five series, I wouldn't name a team, I'd name a color. A color shared by both Cloud 9's shirts and TSM's long sleeve button-downs. It's Blue - the color of convenience, and whoever starts this series on the Blue side of the map will ultimately win the trophy. I'll be cheering for my long-time favs, TSM, but I suspect we're going to see the series go five games, and whoever wins will definitely deserve it!
