The finals for the LCS will be hosted almost alongside the LEC, also scheduled on the 19^th of April. Almost undefeated in the NA LCS Spring regular season, going 17-1, it is no surprise Cloud 9 has advanced to the finals of the Spring Playoffs. Currently, Evil Geniuses and Fly Quest are still in contention, with the semi-finals losers bracket match set to take place on April 18^th. However, it is likely Cloud 9 will continue to dominate considering their strong performance throughout the spring split and ability to completely overwhelm 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses earlier in the playoffs.
