LCS is beginning to inch towards a close with this week being the second-to-last week in the regular season. Players will be on patch 6.14, meaning we might see some Sona even though her extreme OP-ness got hot-fixed. New Ryze is also out and though he’s not doing so well in ranked, he still may be a likely pick candidate for the pros.
There aren’t any roster swaps this week, since the due date to lock in rosters was last week.
As a reminder: North America is now using a best-of-three format in the regular season, while Europe is using best-of-two. With more games on the schedule, that means both leagues will use simultaneous streams, allowing you to choose which series you'd rather watch.
All games will still be streamed on YouTube, and the Riot Games Twitch stream will rotate dependent on matchups. For the rosters, click here for NA and here for EU. Each team will play two series each week.
