LCS Spring 2021
Looking into North America, the LCS Spring 2021 season showcases 10 of the top teams around the NA region in a double round-robin format. Each team plays 18 best-of-one matches, which lead to the playoffs, also known as the Mid Season Showdown. Only the top six teams can make it to the Mid Season Showdown with the top four moving on to the upper bracket while fifth and sixth start out in the lower bracket.
These are the 10 teams and their final positions heading into the playoffs:
- Cloud 9
- TSM
- Team Liquid
- 100 Thieves
- Dignitas
- Evil Geniuses
- Immortals
- FlyQuest
- Counter Logic Gaming

The Mid Season Showdown is currently underway with C9 knocking 100 Thieves down with ease into the lower bracket where they will be facing off against Dignitas. In the other upper bracket match, we saw Team Liquid dismantle TSM, placing them in the other half of the lower bracket where they will play against EG.
This puts C9 in the winner bracket final against Team Liquid, where the winner will get to secure their slot for MSI 2021.
