We're nearing the beginning of LCS Summer time Break up 2022 and rosters are fairly set at this level. In the course of the break, there have been a number of roster adjustments with rookies coming into the league, some new imports and veterans like Jensen coming again.
It was additionally introduced that the studio can be open to followers, which was anticipated after final Spring’s stadium finals in Houston, and Evil Geniuses have been topped because the Spring Champions.

We can be updating our energy rankings every week in response to the current LCS video games to offer you an concept of the place every workforce is in the course of the break up.
LCS Week One Recaps – Day One, Two, Three
10. Dignitas (Earlier Week: 5, [-5])
- Noh ‘Gamsu' Yeong-jin
- Kim ‘River' Dong-woo
- Ersin ‘Blue' Gören
- Toàn ‘Neo' Trần
- Vincent ‘Biofrost' Wang
Week 1 Replace
Let’s begin these rankings by speaking about disappointments. I had nice hopes from Dignitas, I believe River is among the finest junglers within the LCS and Neo/Bio is an efficient bot lane. However Dig has some issues they really want to repair, or this Break up won't go effectively in any respect. To start with, Neo has to step up. Positive, Dig had a troublesome schedule however this doesn’t excuse the poor efficiency we noticed from the younger AD, he was particularly careless and too passive. Then there's the highest lane state of affairs. We talked about how FakeGod wasn’t as much as par within the LCS, however I actually couldn’t inform the distinction between him and Gamsu this weekend. He performed two Sejuani video games, which I can’t inform why even within the meta, and I can’t recall a single constructive affect he had on the sport. Positive perhaps they'll flip it round, however not like another low-tier groups, Dig appeared so misplaced on the Rift.
Pre-Season (Prediction: fifth Place)
For the final couple of splits, Dignitas has been the workforce to observe, first with their all-native roster and final Spring with their entertaining gameplay. However regardless of being a fan favourite workforce and having good begins, they’ve by no means been capable of stick with it all through a standard season.
With out being merciless, it was obvious to anybody who watch them final break up that the highest lane was an enormous downside. I loved watching Fakegod by no means met the expectations this roster is placing up. With the change in the course of the break, I’m anticipating a extra constant efficiency from Dig all through the Break up, which ought to be sufficient to hold them to the highest of the mid-table.
9. Immortals (Earlier Week: 9)
- Mohamed ‘Revenge' Kaddoura
- Shane ‘Kenvi' Espinoza
- Tristan ‘PowerOfEvil' Schrage
- Lawrence ‘Misplaced' Hui
- Lee ‘IgNar' Dong-geun
Week 1 Replace
There isn’t a lot to say about Immortals besides they nonetheless appear like the identical workforce from the final break up. Even with IgNar’s return, they've a bot lane that doesn’t carry out which can be powerful as most high groups in LCS have robust duos down there. Their solely win this week got here from Revenge making performs on a carry, plus Aphromoo miss-clicking his ult, however he's nonetheless inconsistent in what he can provide to his workforce. Additionally, Kenvi had a troublesome first week, which is anticipated from a rookie and I don’t assume taking part in with a lane-focused participant in PowerOfEvil is just too useful both. Even when this roster finds a technique to get higher, I don’t assume their ceiling is just too excessive.
Pre-Season (Prediction: ninth Place)
Immortals got here into the Spring Break up with the hopes of creating the playoffs. However they didn't solely end final, however in addition they didn't impress anybody with their gameplay. The workforce was closely invested within the development of Revenge, which couldn’t precisely present what he's able to. For the Summer time Break up, they made some adjustments, in all probability in the proper route, however I don’t assume it's sufficient for them to meet up with the remainder of the league.
8. Golden Guardians (Earlier Week: 8)
- Eric ‘Licorice' Ritchie
- Milo ‘Pridestalkr' Wehnes
- Nicholas ‘Ablazeolive' Antonio Abbott
- Trevor ‘Stixxay' Hayes
- Kim ‘Olleh' Joo-sung
Week 1 Replace
Not a lot to say about Golden Guardians besides that they're a effective workforce, however I don’t assume they're higher than any workforce above them on this record. Whereas they'd a very good recreation towards C9, it wasn’t the entire workforce. I nonetheless assume Pridestalkr is a good participant and Stixxay regarded higher than Misplaced thus far. However I preserve coming again to Licorice and his unstable performances and Ablazeolive hasn’t taken that one step to the subsequent degree. So as soon as once more, GG is a effective workforce, however I simply don’t assume there's massive untapped potential in them.
Pre-Season (Prediction: eighth Place)
There is no such thing as a denying Golden Guardians had a very good Spring report, going 9-9 and ending fifth. Nonetheless, when watching their video games in the course of the season, it was by no means reassuring. This workforce has some good gamers like Pridestalkr and Olleh, who had some good performances. However their gamers are additionally very liable to errors. It seems like the remainder of the league wasn’t as much as punishing them final break up, however Summer time’s are usually totally different.
Whereas I believe they would be the final workforce to get a playoff spot, the fifth to eighth-place groups are fairly shut within the rankings, and any motion on this vary from any workforce shouldn’t shock anybody.
7. Cloud9 (Earlier Week: 4, [-3])
- Ibrahim ‘Fudge' Allami
- Robert ‘Blaber' Huang
- Nicolaj ‘Jensen' Jensen
- Kim ‘Berserker' Min-cheol/Calvin ‘k1ng' Truong
- Jesper ‘Zven' Svenningsen/Mitchell ‘Future' Shaw
Week 1 Replace
Summer time is shaping as much as be tough for Cloud9. They performed the opening week with their Academy bot lane as their starters aren’t in NA on account of points with their visas, and there's no particular reply to when they are going to be again. In fact, their duo lane struggled towards their competitors this week, however their issues don’t finish there. Jensen and Blaber had a poor exhibiting thus far and whereas it may be anticipated from Jensen on account of his inactivity final break up, it's worrying for the latter. And whereas Fudge seems higher again within the high lane he had his moments the place he struggled to affect the sport. So it seems like they should work further to get again in kind however fortunately for them the Break up is lengthy and there are eight spots for the Playoffs.
Pre-Season (Prediction: 4th Place)
Within the final two years, C9 summers have been close to disasters. However this time round, the workforce went by means of a lot of the drama within the Spring, which hopefully means they'll lastly have a gentle Summer time Break up. In fact, there are various adjustments within the roster however I believe most of them are for the higher.
The one query mark is what occurs with Zven? Is he comfy sufficient to assist one other ADC? Is he becoming the function effectively? If sure, then the ceiling of this roster is among the highest in all the league. However this stuff take time, so I don’t count on them to be on the high to finish the common season.
Take a look at our League of Legends betting ideas
6. FlyQuest (Earlier Week: 6)
- Philip ‘Philip' Zeng
- Brandon ‘Josedeodo' Villegas
- Loïc ‘toucouille' Dubois
- Johnson ‘Johnsun' Nguyen
- Zaqueri ‘aphromoo' Black
Week 1 Replace
This could have been a 2-1 week for FLY as I believe they may’ve received towards the Immortals, however they made some massive errors that are shocking when it comes from a veteran like Aphromoo. Apart from that the workforce carried out principally okay however I might like to see extra from Johnsun than this. Their rookie Philip had a very good debut even when he was overaggressive at some factors he shouldn’t have. They appear like a playoff workforce, however not one that may contend for the higher half of the standings.
Pre-Season (Prediction: sixth Place)
After a 5-1 begin within the first three weeks which they resorted to totally different drafts just like the smite high, FlyQuest had a little bit of a fall within the Spring. As a complete, the workforce has been taking part in nice thus far. There have been loads of query marks concerning the efficiency of Josedeodo, who answered them fairly effectively with a very good Spring Break up. They're on the high of those middle-class groups of LCS, however they've nonetheless some technique to go earlier than skipping a tier. Nonetheless, each their workforce play and particular person expertise ought to be sufficient to hold them to a snug playoff place.
5. TSM (Earlier Week: 7, [+2])
- Heo ‘Huni' Seung-hoon
- Mingyi ‘Spica' Lu
- Huang ‘Maple' Yi-Tang
- Edward ‘Tactical' Ra
- Choi ‘Mia' Sang-in
Week 1 Replace
TSM is trying a lot better than Spring even when they aren’t again on the high. There are nonetheless some issues like Huni’s inconsistency and Tactical’s behavior of getting caught in vital moments, however no less than Spica seems to be in fine condition. With the addition of Maple, who had an total good debut, the MVP jungler seems extra aggressive and decisive. If the remainder of his workforce can step up a bit of extra, TSM can do some injury to high groups going into or within the Playoffs.
Pre-Season (Prediction: seventh Place)
What a catastrophe the Spring Break up was for TSM, and their issues weren’t simply within the Rift. A number of organizational points with the CEO Andy ‘Reginald’ Dinh and the previous coach Peter Zhang proceed to encompass the gamers, and we don’t understand how they are going to get affected.
On high of that, the workforce's high quality of play wasn’t as much as par for a lot of the Spring. They changed their mid-laner by bringing in Maple, who's a recognized worldwide expertise, and the mid-lane was an enormous subject for them. However Shenyi continues to be with the workforce and we don’t know if the priority there's resolved or not. Nonetheless, the Maple switch is an efficient step in the proper route, and it's cheap to count on some enchancment from gamers of this caliber.
4. Counter Logic Gaming (Earlier Week: 10, [+6])
- Niship ‘Dhokla' Doshi
- Juan ‘Contractz' Garcia
- Cristian ‘Palafox' Palafox
- Fatih ‘Luger' Güven
- Philippe ‘poome' Lavoie-Giguere
Week 1 Replace
Okay, I assume we underrated this squad closely. Coming into the Summer time, I believed CLG didn’t have an excessive amount of to do for this Break up and it might principally be an enchancment time for Luger and Poome. Man, I used to be mistaken. CLG didn't solely play three nice video games on the Rift, however they have been by far probably the most artistic workforce when it got here to drafting. They performed two Seraphine video games, one Luger and one Poome, and despite the fact that most groups favored enchanter helps I don’t assume anybody else used them to construct a comp like this.
Plus it was good to see Palafox and Contractz, particularly the latter, taking part in a lot better after a poor Spring. It's good to see Contractz had the arrogance to bust out Nidalee, a decide nobody else performs for the time being. After which the Massive Dhokes. Dhokla got here in like a wrecking ball, trash-talking anybody and predicting CLG to be a top-three workforce on the finish of the Break up, and he's backing it up along with his personal efficiency. However the query is, can they stick with it, or this was a fluke week due to their artistic drafts?
Pre-Season (Prediction: tenth Place)
CLG as an org has been having a tough time within the final couple of years. The eight-place end final 12 months was the one non-bottom two end the workforce had within the final 5 splits. Though vital to bear in mind, they'd a change in management and got here into the Spring with a youthful workforce constructed for the longer term.
Nonetheless, the workforce didn’t precisely meet the expectations. The one participant who acquired the shine was ADC Luger and except they improved significantly between splits, I don’t assume they'll sustain with the opposite groups who bettered their rosters.
3. 100 Thieves (Earlier Week: 3)
- Kim ‘Ssumday' Chan-ho
- Can ‘Nearer' Çelik
- Felix ‘Abbedagge' Braun
- Victor ‘FBI' Huang
- Choi ‘huhi' Jae-hyun
Week 1 Replace
100 Thieves had a comparatively good begin to the Summer time, with solely dropping a recreation towards EG. Nonetheless, I believe this roster can present far more than they did, even of their wins. Abbedagge performed three Ahri video games this week and whereas he hit loads of important charms, he struggled significantly in most early video games. Their bot lane additionally had a very good week however they aren’t as dominant as they have been of their championship break up. I loved seeing Ssumday stick with it Fiora and never on Gnar. The Thieves are closely favored to go to Worlds and they are often the title favorites if they'll as soon as once more hit their peaks.
Pre-Season (Prediction: third Place)
100 Thieves had a bizarre Spring, to say the least. They have been the reigning champions and lots of anticipated a return to kind. However aside from Nearer and Ssumday, who carried out effectively above expectations, the remainder of the workforce was in a stoop. Regardless that they pulled themselves collectively for the playoffs except Abbedagge, FBI and huhi can return to their Summer time 2021 kind, I don’t see too many alternatives during which they'll problem EG or TL.
2. Evil Geniuses (Earlier Week: 2)
- Jung ‘Affect' Eon-yeong
- Kacper ‘Impressed' Słoma
- Joseph ‘Jojopyun' Pyun
- Kyle ‘Danny' Sakamaki
- Philippe ‘Vulcan' Laflamme
Week 1 Replace
EG is again from MSI and they're positively not in a stoop or hangover. There's a lot to speak about EG’s opening week however an important half for me is the efficiency of Danny. Regardless that he performed three straight Ezreal video games, the younger ADC had a lot better laning phases in these and his workforce combating was on level. I additionally loved seeing Vulcan on enchanters as I used to be apprehensive he could be on Tahm Kench obligation so much on this meta. We already knew this squad can flip up when they should however coming into the Break up with this excessive degree, particularly from Impressed who retains delivering, provides me hope about their future.
Pre-Season (Prediction: 2nd Place)
It's at all times powerful to say, the champions aren’t the favorites the subsequent break up, however I don’t assume they're. Bear in mind, despite the fact that EG had an incredible decrease bracket run to win Spring, their common season efficiency was downright abysmal. Neither their teamplay nor particular person performances have been the identical. In fact, I don’t assume it is going to be the identical however it isn’t unreasonable to imagine they as soon as once more may have a gradual begin to the Break up, particularly after a grueling MSI run.
1. Workforce Liquid (Earlier Week: 1)
- Gabriël ‘Bwipo' Rau
- Lucas ‘Santorin' Larsen
- Søren ‘Bjergsen' Bjerg
- Steven ‘Hans sama' Liv
- Jo ‘CoreJJ' Yong-in
Week 1 Replace
It's no shock Liquid had a robust begin to the Break up, however I'm notably impressed by the gameplay I watched this weekend. Whereas they have been nonetheless good in Spring, TL was extra of a management the sport slowly and ability verify folks throughout workforce fights type of workforce. However in these three video games, we noticed a extra aggressive TL who wasn’t afraid to go for extra dangerous performs early to get leads after which push these results in suffocate their opponents, which Bjergsen himself additionally mentioned in a post-game interview. I’m additionally glad to see Bwipo bust out three semi-off-meta picks and carry out this early into the Break up. Though they didn’t have the toughest schedule, I'm nonetheless assured in TL to high the desk this Summer time.
Pre-Season (Prediction: 1st Place)
In fact, the tremendous workforce is the primary in energy rankings. Workforce Liquid was dominant throughout Spring and so they had a very good playoff. They misplaced to EG 3-0, however the unlucky baron therapeutic throughout Danny’s penta was an enormous a part of it. This workforce is veteran sufficient to shake it off and begin a brand new season recent. To not point out the expertise they've.
Liquid’s high aspect was all high two or three of their roles final break up. Though one can say Bjerg didn’t carry out effectively and there was no competitors, I've belief in his expertise and work that he can be again stronger this summer season. Bot lane of Core and Hans is fingers down one of the best within the league, even after they didn’t play for the primary month of the season. With the time in splits spent effectively, I’m anticipating this workforce to be scarier than earlier than.
