NA LCS Semi-final Match Preview – Echo Fox vs Team Liquid

Heading into the North American League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split, it was expected that Echo Fox and Team Liquid would do quite well. Both teams had made major roster adjustments, and both were heading into the split full of confidence in their ability to dominate the game. Both Echo Fox and Team Liquid have made it to this semi-final showdown, the manner in which these two teams made it here could not be more different.

Echo Fox spent most of the Spring Split dominating their opponents, in fact it was only in the last week of the NA LCS regular season that they lost their spot on top of the ladder. Team Liquid seemed to languish in the middle of the pack, and only really stepped up their game in the last few weeks of the regular season, taking part in the massive week 9 tie-breaker scenario to gain work out exactly where their place was in the post season.

The clashes between these two teams were similarly one-sided, with Echo Fox coming out on top in both of their previous encounters. Their first match was quite back and forth, despite Echo Fox winning early fights Team Liquid were able to battle back with excellent objective control. Unfortunately that did not prove enough as Echo Fox still crushed Liquid to claim the first victory between these two teams. The second confrontation between Echo Fox and Team Liquid was even more of a thrashing for Team Liquid, as Echo Fox steamrolled them to close out the game more than twenty minutes faster than their previous bout.

While the matches between Echo Fox and Team Liquid have been very much in Fox’s favour thus far, the fact that their recent games have not been the best, while Team Liquid’s performance against Cloud9 in the Quarterfinal match last week showed that they are certainly prepared to get down and dirty to win the games. This should prove to be an extremely exciting match to watch, with the winner going through to battle for the chance to be a new champion in the NA LCS.
