After taking down Echo Fox, TSM have advanced to the North American League of Legends Championship Series Regional Finals for their final shot at the World Championships.

After failing to qualify for the upcoming World Championships through the playoffs, both TSM and Echo Fox needed to win today in order to advance to the regional finals and potentially earn a spot representing their region. Unfortunately for Echo Fox, TSM proved to be the stronger team today, sweeping their opponents 3-0 to advance to the finals where they fill face Cloud9. Here’s a brief breakdown of the series.

Match One

The first clash between these two teams is the subject of some controversy, with a game-breaking bug leading to a pause that ultimately lasted longer than the game itself. While Riot took some time to fix the problem and the game was ultimately resumed, TSM’s path to victory could not be interrupted as they cruised to an early lead in this series.

Match Two

The second match again saw TSM claim victory, though this time the match was much quicker than before. While Echo Fox was able to ensure the match was not a perfect victory for their opponents, TSM was ruthless in their quest for victory, closing out the match and setting up a very early match point.

Match Three

The final clash between these two teams was much closer than the previous bout, though the end result was the same. TSM again showcased their strength and improvements as they swept Echo Fox for a clean 3-0 victory in this series, despite the best efforts of the EF squad.

With their victory today, TSM will face off against long-time rivals Cloud9 in the NA LCS Regional Finals tomorrow. Whichever team wins that bout will go on to represent North America at the upcoming World Championships in October.
