Evil Geniuses has crowned itself the champion of the North American League of Legends League LCS for the first time. With an almost flawless run through the Lower Bracket, the team worked their way to the title and participation in the MSI against 100 Thieves.

"I helped my teammates as much as I could to finish the series 3-0," EGs Kacper told "Inspired" Słoma in an interview after the series. "I was good enough to win." The pole had only switched from Rogue to the American organization from the European LEC at the beginning of the season.

EC in Top form in LCS playoffs

For 100 Thieves around the German Felix "Abbedagge" Braun, it was about defending the title, EG was in the final for the first time ever. Previously, with a strong performance, EG had surprisingly knocked the traditional organizations Team Liquid and Cloud9 out of the playoffs with a score of 3: 0 each.

The young team also continued this performance against 100 Thieves. EG did not give the defending champion a chance and needed only three games to secure his first LCS title. EG broke several records: not only was it the fastest final of the LCS. EG's 17-year-old midlaner Joseph "jojopyun" Joon Pyun is the youngest player to ever win an LCS title.

MSI: NA vs EU in the group stage

At the international Mid-Season Invitational tournament, the group stage will see a direct duel between North America and Europe: in addition to Order from Oceania, EG will face the LEC champion G2 Esports.

"I think people have forgotten me a little in Europe," said Inspired, referring to the meeting with the European representative. "But I will prove to you that I am still here and the best jungler from Europe.»
