It's been a long third day of Week 1. Normally I would tell you about Condi triumphing over hu1, the historic war between Uzi and TnT, the eternal question of TBQ's Lee Sin, and EDG's quest to develop talent, but I think it's more valuable to get a sense for how these teams will play going forward.

With so many games in the LPL, it's important to know which teams you should follow with time limitations. Without further ado, it's time to look for a favorite to suit your tastes.

WE and King: Prison Break

WE and King will only appeal to those fans who enjoy watching a single player struggle against adversity. These two teams are the only ones that have failed to pick up a single win in this young season and they essentially function as Spirit and NaMei, respectively, against the world.

NaMei seems to be taking his fate a little worse than Spirit.

WE's games this past weekend have included: Conan getting caught out, xiye put in his place by stronger late game mids like U and Rookie, Mystic's difficulties playing with hyper carries, and Aluka, the one-trick Sion who never gets to play Sion. Spirit must battle for WE's wins alone, and with nearly every carry jungle pick consistently banned against him, it's been impossible. At least he keeps a smile on his face.

Similarly: King's hu1 has struggled to have any impact, Cola seemingly can no longer even best looper, corn is ultimately out-classed, and SinkDream only plays Morgana. NaMei played a single set of the two, but here's a graph of the damage dealt to champions by Jinx in one of the losses.

God bless Cinderhulk

It's possible King will eventually play inSec and Zero to assist NaMei in his quest, but Spirit at least is doomed to try to carry his team on his own. If you enjoy singular feats of Herculean strength and the sequence in Forest Gump where the titular character dragged his wounded comrades out of a war zone, you've found your favorite teams.

RNG, UP, Master3: John Green's next bestseller

Royal Never Give Up, Unlimited Potential, and Master3 all have one thing in common: they have no idea what they're doing most of the time.

RNG, UP, and Master3 could all solidify themselves as playoff contenders but they first have to find themselves — ideally in a young adult novel with an eccentric female main character. At the moment, neither team has a truly consistent carry threat, and any given laner can have a spectacular performance one game and a horrid one the next.

Royal Never Give Up's letme

Full of young talent, RNG is trying to get a handle on how to play a more mature strategic game. Letme and Xiaohu are the breakout solo laners of Gamtee, but they seem to flail under the thumbs of more experienced powerhouses. Wuxx's fascination with Vayne can give anyone gray hairs. They all follow Mlxg who is just as likely to lead them to the opposing team's Nexus as he is to drag them into a poorly conceived engagement.

Unlimited Potential have the wise and experienced Heart at the helm, but that doesn't mean his young charges are up to his grander vision. With a strong sense for engage, Heart has to contend with Loong's tendency to over-extend, Eimy's willingness to jump the gun, a brand new mid laner, and those days when Skatch just doesn't feel like carrying.

The most familiar of these squads is Master3. Surprisingly, M3 did not make roster changes between this split and the last, but the addition of Smlz came at the end of Spring. Master3 still lacks what they've always lacked: a force willing to consistently take it upon himself to carry. Dade sometimes will take up the mantel, but more as a rental than a permanent accessory. Smlz has never quite lived up to the title of "WeiXiao's disciple." Looper works much better as a tool for a carry force than an actual carry himself.

Master3 are closer to the climax of their young adult novel than either Royal Never Give Up or Unlimited Potential, but they're still on a journey of self-discovery. If you like teams that haven't quite defined themselves and don't like having the ending of the story pre-determined, pick your favorite and tune in for their games.

LGD Gaming: Waiting for Pyl

Waiting for Godot is a play written by Samuel Beckett that depicts a pair of characters insistent on waiting for a single individual. Their inaction, according to some interpretations, is reflective of a general inability to take responsibility and instead to wait for instructions from a higher being.

That's essentially what LGD Gaming looks like at the moment. In three of the games they've played so far, they've gotten trampled. The team appeared unwilling to make a decision without their main shotcaller and simply lost games to likely lesser teams due to doing nothing.

Flame's "sick five-man Gnar ult" wasn't even the first one this weekend.

In their fourth game, TBQ stepped up to play the only champion on which he's ever really shown hints of mastery. His Lee Sin kicked LGD into gear, and they managed to take a win from RNG.

Typically, LGD is a team respected for their early macro rotations and side minion wave control. They set up gorgeous mid game fights by splitting their opposition. Until Pyl returns, don't expect to see that happen.

Qiao Gu: Cage Fight

Qiao Gu games come replete with mechanical showboating to the point where you assume every member of the squad is typing "1v1 me, bro" in All Chat. Ironically, their strongest player is their Korean jungler, Swift.

Like WE, this team is mostly propelled forward by their jungler's carry potential. He'll take kills for himself and dominate skirmishes. Swift is a slightly weaker version of a Spirit with a stronger supporting cast. TnT has been looking for a chance to prove himself since he narrowly saved LMQ from relegation in 2013 LPL Summer. V only just missed joining the first crop of new Chinese top laners from LSPL last split.

Doinb is serviceable.

Qiao Gu will come fast and with no pretenses to dive turrets and take skirmishes. Their high risk and reward play will either result in them smashing early or getting run over in the late game. Expect a lot of flashy individual highlight reels every time you watch them in LPL.

OMG: The Uzi show

Not pictured: the smile that's been on his face lately

Last split, OMG was a team trying to choose between two directions. With the benching of Gogoing and Loveling, OMG abandoned their Bash Brother-centric skirmish-and-pick style and focused on placing the right players around Uzi.

The Uzi show has been revived for an additional season after taking a hiatus following the 2014 World Championship. OMG is set up to succeed if everyone brings peel for their star AD carry, but his tendency to go for the riskier situation will result in failure if he doesn't have the proper resources.

Uzi is nothing if not fun to watch, and Cool is discovering a new side to himself. Expect fewer assassins from the world class Ahri player, but so far his Orianna ultimates have yet to disappoint.

Vici Gaming: The sometimes rotation-based team

As Vici Gaming has played three best-of-twos instead of two like most other teams so far, there's a slightly larger sample size from which to draw. In each of VG's three sets, they've gone for a more team fight oriented composition in Game 1 and failed, but gone back to their roots to sneak free objectives with smart rotations in Game 2.

VG is limited by the general weaknesses of their laners, but DanDy and Mata's power as a vision-driven duo can't be shut out so easily. So far, attempts to buff their team fighting with a new AD carry have been dashed, but they still excel at lane swapping and grabbing dragons while their opposition relaxes.

If you like watching teams test their limits and generally miss skillshots, try a Game 1. If you like low confrontation trickery, a Game 2 is a solid choice.

Snake and iG: Brawlers

Ella, likely the best player on his team last split

Chinese League of Legends has long since been known for exceptional team fighting. While it isn't necessarily true that all LPL teams love to brawl, the ones that opt into and excel in the 5v5 arena tend to rise to the top.

So far, Snake has only lost one of four games. After their loss to Unlimited Potential, they seemingly learned their drafting lesson and brought ample wave clear against WE yesterday. Invictus Gaming is the only team with hopes of remaining undefeated, but they've also only played one best-of-two so far.

In all six games featuring Snake or Invictus, the teams have preferred to stall out a little longer and take fights around Baron or Dragon. Both Rookie and U have played phenomenal Oriannas, and Kid and kRYST4L excel more outside laning phase. KaKAO plays a better tank than Beast, and Flandre a better tank than Zzitai, but both teams achieve powerful front line control.

Rookie holds iG's first place trophy at IET

Snake and iG have both had games so far where they used team fighting to come back from behind for a victory. If you like long games with masterful cooldown stacking, give Snake a test run. If you prefer your games with a bit more mid game focus and stronger jungle pressure, look no further than Invictus.

Edward Gaming: Speaking of Forest Gump...

During today's between-game interview, San Shao stated that Edward Gaming is going to spend this split focusing on developing new talent. They're willing to swap out their Mid-Season Invitational champions to grow the stars of tomorrow. Not even Deft is to be spared from the rotation. As a result, viewers can't be sure what they're going to get from an EDG game.

So far, we've only seen AmazingJ and BaeMe. Unlike Koro1, AmazingJ is more focused on playing a carry style and split-pushing, making EDG much less team fight oriented than they've ever been. BaeMe doesn't have nearly as large of a champion pool as pawN, but he's more willing to stand back and play conservatively than take risks.

As usual, I'm not quite sure what pawN is doing here.

Neither AmazingJ nor BaeMe have impressed to the level of Koro1 or pawN so far, but almost every Edward Gaming player has grown new dimensions since joining the squad. Both solo laners could, in theory, become true monsters in their roles, but AD carry substitute JinJiao will need a true miracle if he sees play time.

Or the experiment could crash and result in a weaker overall Edward Gaming team in time for Worlds.

Regardless of the outcome, Vici Gaming at least has so far enjoyed a more even playing field with a 1-1 split today. I'll miss Edward Gaming's artful destruction of nearly every opposing squad, but I'm interested to see if the rest of the competition is strong enough to force them to shut down the talent farm and take their games more seriously.
