Counter Logic Gaming, the team that won the previous split is currently not doing that well as most would’ve expected because of their accomplishment in the MSI. They’re currently on 5th place, tied with Team Envy, both of them sitting at 7 wins and 7 losses. Right now, TSM and Immortals are the current favorites to win them all, sitting at 14:0 and 13:1 respectively. However, we shouldn’t be surprised if Immortals don’t perform in the playoffs, as we could’ve seen in the previous split. Even in NA LCS everything is possible, so we shouldn’t count out any of the playoffs team.

EU LCS Summer Playoffs 2016
The EU LCS Summer Playoffs will be a best-of-5 series based tournament with a single elimination; once a team is defeated they are out of the running. The top 6 teams from the EU LCS Summer Split, after the 9th week finishes, will be competing for the title of the EU LCS Summer Champions. This tournament will be played over a series of weeks, focused around weekends, and those teams who are unable to walk away as champions will still have the opportunity to accumulate Championship Points; these points are then added up and will decide who will be making their way to the 2016 World Championship stage. This article will hopefully be updated as new information is released so keep checking in to see who’s made it and who can make it to the top!
