All 8 teams from the North American League played last week, the final week of the 2024 LCS Spring Split regular season. FlyQuest and 100 Thieves closed the group stage in first place overall with a 10-win record in 14 matches, and it was ultimately C9 who finished third. In the rest of the rankings, Team Liquid finished 6th, ahead of Dignitas and NRG who finished 5th and 6th respectively.
Unfortunately, this spring segment is already over for Shopify Rebellion and Immortals who failed to finish in the top 6 at the end of six weeks of the championship and will now have to wait for the Summer Split to find a way to compete. It wouldn’t be surprising if the clubs made some adjustments in preparation for the Summer Split, especially with regards to the two emblematic structures of Team Liquid and Team Solomid.
