3 Reasons Team Liquid Will Win the LCS in 2021

January 6, 2021 Tim Sevenhuysen

Everyone agrees: either Cloud9 or Team Liquid should be the best team in the LCS in 2021. (If you can find someone who ranks another team ahead of those two, you should ping me on Twitter or the Oracle’s Elixir Discord, because I’d be fascinated to hear a cogent set of arguments to back up that opinion!)

I officially power ranked Cloud9 number 1 in December, but Team Liquid is a very worthy selection for that honour, and it didn’t take me much effort to come up with this list of arguments for why I could, or maybe even should, have put them in the top spot, instead.

Time to see whether I can convince any of you, and maybe even myself, to move Team Liquid up a spot in 2021 expectations.
