The semi-final match (lower bracket finals) at the League of Legends LCS 2022 Spring Split is set to take place between Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid. This is a match that many might not have expected because the latter is a superteam.
However, as it stands, 100 Thieves are the ones sitting happily in the finals, while Team Liquid will have to defeat Evil Geniuses to reach the summit clash. Even then, there is no reason to take the latter lightly, as it has shown multiple times that it is capable of stepping up on the biggest of occasions.
In either case, the winner of the LCS Spring Split will qualify for the Mid Season Invitational 2022. Thus, it is vital to ensure that all these sides showcase absolute peak performance.
Evil Geniuses did not have the best Spring Split in the LCS. The team ended the regular split with ten wins and nine losses, definitely average. Of course, they did sign star jungler Inspired from Rogue for the 2022 season, which meant that the expectations from the team were relatively high.
Despite that, it is safe to say that it took some time for the players to find their rhythm. Thankfully, once the Playoffs began, Evil Geniuses started to take shape. Even though they lost to TL, they defeated Fly Quest and Cloud9 in dominating fashion.
Team Liquid, on the other hand, is the superteam from North America. The side was expected to demolish its competition across the board and make the region proud. The signings of Bjergsen, Bwipo, and Hans Sama put a lot of expectations on its shoulders.
However, the team failed to meet live up to the hype somewhere. Obviously, TL had a brilliant regular split with 14 wins and four losses, but in the Playoffs, it lost to 100 Thieves and dropped down to the lower bracket.
