Right now, Fnatic is 12-0 and looks to be unstoppable, but even with this dominance, there is still a possibility that they miss out on worlds. I cannot believe I just wrote that. And I could not believe my eyes when I read Saberwolf’s article over at goldper10.com, where he shows us just how this could turn out. It all comes down to the new Championship Points in the years LCS, which he explains so well:
Remember the championship points system implemented before the start of this season? Here is where it really starts to come into play for teams. For those who aren’t aware, championship points are awarded to the six teams that reach the LCS playoffs for spring and summer. The 3 spots for worlds are decided by:
- The winner of the summer playoffs
- The team with the most accumulative points from summer and spring
- A Gauntlet between the remaining teams with the second, third, forth, fifth most points
In playoffs, the first seed team faces off against the winner of the fourth and fifth in semis and the second seed faces the winner of the third and sixth seeds in the other semis half. Losers of the semis games play for third.
So Fnatic already won the spring split and still they can miss out on Worlds. It is shocking but in the European LCS, stranger things have happened, so find out how this could turn out by reading the rest of the article here.
