Let’s be honest: North American expectations for the 2020 League of Legends World Championships are pretty low, especially if you’re asking someone from outside of NA. The LCS has become a punching bag for global commentary.

In the coach/analyst panel preview I assembled, Immortals coach Malaclypse even wrote, “[It’s an] appropriate question […] whether we will see a LCS team in top 8. I’m pretty sure we will not, and LCS will be taking some rough losses vs. wildcard regions this year.”
My own opinion is that the LCS is not quite as bad as the public narrative suggests, but I do believe that North America has fallen behind the curve of China, Europe, and South Korea by a noticeable margin.
So, with that being the case, what are some appropriate expectations for the three LCS representative at Worlds this year?
The TSM organization shouldn’t come away from Worlds satisfied unless they at least get to play in the Quarterfinals. Continue reading What would “success” look like for each LCS team at Worlds?
Three teams remain in the battle for the LCS Summer 2020 title. On Saturday, TSM and Team Liquid will play for a spot in the Final against FlyQuest on Sunday.
Since the schedule is so tight for the last two matches, I’m going to do something a little different with this preview and cover everything in one piece. First I’ll break down my expectations for TSM vs. TL, and then I’ll spend some time discussing FlyQuest and how they’ll need to prepare and play against either opponent.
The TSM vs. TL preview starts immediately below, but you can also jump straight to the FlyQuest section if that’s what you’re most interested in.
