2019 NALCS Summer Spilt Week one recap

S. Samek

Lets see what happened during week one.

C9, Optic and Golden Guardians had 2-0, undefeated weeks. C9 beating Flyquest and Clutch. Golden Guardians beat Echo Fox and Flyquest. Optic downed 100 Thieves and Clutch. C9 did what they were saposed to so no surprise on the 2-0 week. I don’t find the Golden Guardians at 2-0 a shock either. Optic is a bit of a surprise though. 1-1 would probably be the most probable record for them, based on their opponents for the week. I don’t think Optic continues this winning streak of undefeated weeks, but getting two wins in a week is always welcome.

CLG,TSM, Team Liquid and Echo Fox went 1-1 this week. Liquid losing to Echo Fox is a small upset, but I don’t think Liquid should be fearing for the split. Same with TSM. who lost the rematch from spring finals with Liquid. CLG performed as expected, by beating 100 Thieves and losing to TSM. Echo Fox could be sitting at 0-2, but by beating Liquid they have a nice bonus wins to work with.

100 Thieves, Flyquest and Clutch are left at the bottom at 0-2. Very surprised to see 100 Thieves here. Like I throught they should beat Optic. Flyquest in this postion isn’t a surprise as they lost to C9, a better team and Golden Guardians, who are as good if not better. Clutch could have beaten potentially beaten Optic, but maybe we going to move to Clutch being the worst team in the LCS.

Interesting first week with a couple of interesting stories possibly developing. Stay tuned to see what goes down.
