2016 NA LCS Summer Playoffs Preview: Road to Toronto Championship

LCS championship tournament stage view
The 2016 NA LCS Summer Playoffs features six top teams competing for the championship title at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. Team SoloMid and Immortals have secured first-round byes, while Cloud9, Team EnVyUs, Counter Logic Gaming, and Team Liquid will battle through the quarterfinals.
Team SoloMid dominated the regular season, going undefeated against all playoff teams. Their rookie support Biofrost has proven to be a crucial addition as they pursue their fourth title since 2015.
Immortals finished second with only two losses - both to TSM. They'll aim for revenge and their first championship in a potential finals matchup against their rivals.
Cloud9, consistently third place, shows occasional brilliance rivaling the top teams. They face newcomers Team EnVyUs in quarterfinals, seeking their third LCS title.
Team EnVyUs, the only rookie team to make playoffs, started strong but struggled late season. Counter Logic Gaming overcame a rough start to defend their back-to-back titles, while Team Liquid stabilized after early jungler drama to secure the final playoff spot.
The tournament begins August 13th with Cloud9 vs Team EnVyUs, followed by CLG vs Team Liquid on August 14th. All matches are best-of-five series.
