It is midseason in Riot's League of Legends Championship Series. Although there is a noticable descent in the standings, it is fair to say all eight teams are rather close to each other. After five weeks of LCS Europe, any team could beat anyone with little to none exceptions.
Fnatic learned this the hard way during the last two weeks. The entire opposition was left behind in awe with seven consecutive wins from the start. This trend turned upside down and a downward spiral begun with now five consecutive losses, more than any other team before in the ongoing season.

Roccat took and may keep taking advantage of fnatic's depression. This is only further increased as Gambit is facing visa issues. The Russians have to replace almost their entire lineup for this week's games as Alex Ich, Diamond, Genja, and Darien renew their visa in Russia. The Polish LCS debutants are solely the top of the league after being tied with fnatic and Gambit last week.
