Twitch chat is allowed to spam ResidentSleeper and for the next 7 months because there will be no new teams added to the next NA LCS split. Team Liquid and Team EnVyUs successfully made it through the promotion tournament and reclaimed their LCS spots. To regain their LCS spots both teams had to go through Gold Coin United and in both instances both LCS teams won in decisive game 5’s.

Team liquid had a relatively easy route back into the LCS by going undefeated in the tournament and reclaiming their spot Saturday afternoon by defeating GCU 3–2. In an earlier article that I wrote last week, I mentioned that if Piglet was to step up and play a pivotal role on TL that they would make it through relegation. Surprisingly, Piglet did just that. Overall through the 5 game series piglet posted a 2.94 KDA, which does not sound like the greatest. However, where he was lacking before was in the damage department. Where in this series, he had the most damage on TL four out of the five games. I think Piglet has finally found some solid ground underneath him (Taliyah pun haHA). If TL decides to keep Piglet in the mid lane, I believe that they will have a high chance to appear in playoffs next split.

Team EnVyUs had a little more trouble returning back to the LCS. They lost 3–1 to GCU on Friday which forced them to win two series in a row if they wanted to reclaim their spot in the LCS. They made an easy showing of eUnited Saturday winning that series 3–1. On Sunday, it was a back and forth series that ended up with Envy winning the final game 5 of the weekend. There was a trend in the games that occurred on that day. Any game that Envy won was a complete stomp with them winning by at least 18K in gold and by at least 9 kills. If Envy got to early lead (which is what they are known for), then they just ran away with the game. On the other hand if they did not get an early lead, they would struggle the rest of the game to play catch-up. Team EnVyUs definitely have good moments and certainly bad ones. They definitely have the potential to be a middle of the pack squad. As a team, they need to learn how to play from behind and I believe they are golden.

Next up this weekend for NA is the quarterfinals of the NA LCS playoffs. I already have an article with my opinions of what the outcomes will be. Be sure to go check it out!
