With the North American League Championship series starting Friday, I am going to rank the teams as I did with the European LCS teams.
- Team SoloMid
Until proven otherwise, this is still a top team in the league. The bot lane change won’t change too much with this roster. - Counter Logic Gaming
No roster changes to their worlds lineup. They are still a top tier team. - Cloud9
They upgraded their jungle role, so I still have them in them in the top 3 based on last years performance. - Team Liquid
The only concern I have with this new roster is their mid lane. Link in an unknown and Goldenglue hasn’t proven himself yet. - Team Dignitas
Upgrades at top and jungle, this lineup looks very promising. - Immortals
Questions in how the bottom lane will function and how Dardoch will work with the top and mid lanes. Pobelter is still a great player though. - Phoenix1
New mid, bot and support players, while keeping its core. Roster is definitely upgraded though. - Echo Fox
Major upgrade in the top lane with the addition of Looper. Gate is an underrated player. We will have to see what Froggen will show up this season. - FlyQuest
Hai’s shot calling is great but the x-factor is LemonNation and his notebook with the new 10 ban system. They will have a great pick/ban phase, but we will have to see if that translates into wins. - Team EnVyUs
We will have to see how the new jungler changes this lineup, but this is still a lower tier team.
