The teams that are already qualified / will not qualify

GAM Esports

Position: #1 Score: 11–1 (92% WR) Remaining matches: FTV Esports and Dashing Buffalo

For all the fans of GAM Esports that haven’t watched the competition closely; you are safe! You are well and truly the best in the league, and no one (apart from their one loss against Team Flash) can stop you. They are crowned as the best team from the 2020 regular Spring split, and will have a finals seed in the play-offs. We could even see some fun picks (or players) against FTV Esports, since their match also doesn’t matter. Levi, you can bring out your Lee Sin once again!

Team Flash

Position: #2 Score: 9–3 (75% WR) Remaining matches: CERBERUS Esports and Team Secret

Team Flash can also breathe a sight of relief, as they also have qualified for the post-regular season. With a 20–12 game score, the second seeded team had some wonky results leading into many two to one victories. Team Flash can still switch places with the current third placed team EVOS. In order for that to happen, EVOS has to win their remainder matches, while Team Flash loses theirs. Even though the team is already qualified, their opponents will ultimately try their best to win a seed in the play-offs as well.

V Gaming Adonis

Position: #7 Score: 2–10 (17% WR) Remaining matches: Team Secret and FTV Esports

One thing that V Gaming Adonis has to get respect, is the fact that they don’t have a jungler and are still looking competitive throughout everything on what happened so far with the organization. The newly promoted team will be playing in the Summer promotion / relegation tournament, in order to remain their spot in the VCS. With their recent changes on their roster (adding Zin and their coach Hope switching as jungler) the team looks more coordinated than ever. Lets hope that V Gaming Adonis will pull up a good fight against Team Secret and FTV Esports!

FTV Esports

Position: #8 Score: 2–10 (17% WR) Remaining matches: GAM Esports and V Gaming Adonis

The same could be said as what happened to V Gaming Adonis. They don’t have a jungler, and are still looking competitive against bottom tier teams. The team underwent multiple roster changes, and steadily looked stronger over the course of the split. Their strongest moments of the split are whenever their newest member Froggy steps up with team fighting power picks, such as Neeko, Galio and Diana. The team is looking to play for pride, as their upcoming matches are against GAM Esports and their promotion / relegation buddy V Gaming Adonis.

EVOS Esports

Position: #3 Score: 7–5 (58% WR) Remaining matches: Dashing Buffalo and CERBERUS Esports

The EVOS Esports team is looking for resurgence, as their last three matches have ended in a win. With But1 starting over TH in the toplane, the team has won two to one against Team Secret and two to zero against FTV Esports. For the first match of this week, EVOS Esports will play against Dashing Buffalo, which will determine two things; Whether or not EVOS Esports will qualify for the play-offs gauntlet or if Dashing Buffalo still has a chance for redemption. If they lose, they have a second chance against another play-off opponent in CERBERUS Esports. Matter of fact is, will we see But1 or TH again to win them their play-offs spot?

Team Secret

Position: #4 Score: 6–6 (50% WR) Remaining matches: V Gaming Adonis and Team Flash

It is sad to see that Team Secrets second half of the split has been disastrous, as they are now on a four losing streak. Their losses are against teams they shouldn’t lose such as Dashing Buffalo, CERBERUS Esports and EVOS Esports. Their rivals have managed to get some important wins, while Team Secret was slacking off. Needless to say, Team Secret still of course has chance to finish in a play-off bracket, as their opponents are V Gaming Adonis and Team Flash. It is mostly up to V Gaming Adonis — and of course their own performance against them — to play spoiler.

CERBERUS Esports

Position: #5 Score: 6–6 (50% WR) Remaining matches: Team Flash and EVOS Esports

CERBERUS Esports is scratching their own heads, thinking about impact that could’ve had if they finished the nexus against Team Flash in their previous meeting. Now against the same Team Flash (and EVOS Esports) they have to give their 110% in order to stay in play-offs contention. With super tough opponents, it is looking rough as they are facing the current number two and three team. The team has major ups and downs throughout the split, as they can win convincingly against the upper echelon teams, but struggle against the likes of V Gaming Adonis and FTV Esports. CERBERUS Esports need to toughen up in order to compete in the play-offs stages.

Dashing Buffalo

Position: #6 Score: 5–7 (42% WR) Remaining matches: EVOS Esports and GAM Esports

In order for Dashing Buffalo to qualify, they will need to be miracle workers. Facing off against EVOS Esports and GAM Esports, it will almost be impossible to go into the play-offs, since one loss is enough to seal them away from it. They also need some luck that Team Secret and CERBERUS Esports loses their matches so they have a slight chance of competing with them. Their late split upbeat has some shortcomings, but they can look forward into the future with their new support in Hinn who has looked more sharp than their previous support H3.
