Nick: I personally like Fearless, so pretty good news for me, at least. I think it makes competitive much more fun and you get to play a lot more different champions affects our factors because in scrims teams will adopt the fearless so, yeah, pretty happy with news. Eyla: Yeah, I mean I’m happy that we’re at least not having the whole split best of one.

Team Liquid have, for over a year now, been the presumptive kings of North America. They’d get passed by FlyQuest at Worlds, but going into every Split, the equine mascot is the most-seen at the top of peoples’ power rankings. And yet, coming out of Split 1, there was a lot of worry and conjecture about UmTi’s level of play, and Team Liquid’s coordination. Until they 3-0’d 100 Thieves in the Split 1 finals, many weren’t sure the blue and white champions would make it that far.

100 Thieves were the unexpected darlings of Split 1 in the LTA North. The team surged to a first-place regular season placement, and managed to shellac their way to the finals of the inter-conference event between LTA North and LTA Sul. The dream run was not to be, however, and 100T fell in a one-sided 0-3 series to pre-split favorites Team Liquid, in refreshed form.

Best part of the Spirit Blossom cinematic is seeing Xin Zhao on Ionia babysitting. https://t.co/5Mv6nwcofL

Had a wonderful time chatting with @100Thieves River about LTA changes, the Naafiri rework, and his thoughts on the meta. Really interesting to hear just how much of a gap in practice Split 1 resulted in for teams who didn't bootcamp in Korea. https://t.co/kbuD6ta4Kj
