We’re back from Georgia! Azael, Kobe and Meteos update us on all the action from the LCS Championship, where TLAW dominated while LYON and C9 struggled. The trio also discuss what it means to be perceived as the league’s villain while chatting about the Inspired vs Doublelift debate. Is it all worth it for a title? Let’s hear what our hosts have to say.
We made it to the Seventh Diveys award show! For our final gilded episode, the guys honor the winners of coveted categories such as Biggest Dog, Community MVP, and Biggest Yapper. We finally are going to settle the greatest debate of LCS history: who officially had the best handshake of the year?
And finally: Worlds Play-ins are just around the corner! Our hosts preview the teams and cast their predictions on who they think will be able to hold their own. Tune in next Thursday at 11AM PDT to see if they were right!

And FINAL-ly (get it?) the Championship is just days away! The guys recap last week’s emotional playoffs with SR and FLY’s elimination, how some of the OG LCS magic is back, and how the battle is truly on for these final matches this weekend.
