Way back in January, I put out a pair of articles previewing the NA LCS Spring split. I ranked all 10 teams from weakest to strongest, based on what I thought of their offseason moves and the potential strength of their new rosters.
After a two-and-a-half month regular season, including an array of roster changes and substitutions, it’s time to look back at those preseason rankings as a way to remind ourselves of the expectations we held and to dissect some of the unexpected outcomes. We also get to see how accurate I was with my predictions, so that’s fun!
Let’s kick things off with the team I, and the rest of the world, predicted for a 10th-place finish.
Due to some apparent issues with Riot’s Match History system for some games played on March 25/26, the LCK, LMS, and EU LCS Promotion tournament statistics pages cannot be updated, until the issue has been resolved on Riot’s end. They are working on it, and hope to have an update soon.
Follow me on Twitter to hear when the issues have been resolved and the stats have been fully updated.
Update March 27: If the issue is not resolved by Monday, March 28, I will upload the available data and provide minimal stand-in data for the missing games.
Update March 28: The issues have been resolved, and all statistics pages are up to date.
I’ve created a new page where you can look up champion stats separated out by league. Have a look, play with the filters, and let me know if it’s useful! If it is, I can go back and add data from past splits, as well.
