LEC play-by-play caster Aaron “Medic” Chamberlain guides us through the key storylines of the spring split, shares his MVP and rookie of the split candidates, and tees up the playoffs.
It’s a North American League of Legends tale as old as time: TSM versus Cloud9, the original fan favourites against the team that stole their crown as NA’s best.

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun. – Ecclesiastes 1:9
