This season has witnessed remarkable developments in the competitive League of Legends scene, with regional tournaments and major events reaching their climactic conclusions around the globe.
The North American segment of the professional circuit concluded its Spring run with the final two matches played, highlighted by the outstanding performance of a favored team. Advancing early to the final on June 7, Lyon distinguished itself by overcoming Team Liquid delivered a commanding performance by sweeping the series 3-0. The outcome followed Team Liquid’s earlier victory over Cloud9 in the lower bracket final, a result that has led to Cloud9 missing out on the Mid-Season Invitational, since only the teams finishing in the top two spots secure a place.
- Lyon has confirmed its participation in the Mid-Season Invitational.
- The team has also booked a slot at the Esports World Cup this summer, aligning with other international regional champions.
- Further placements will be determined as the events continue to unfold.
