Both the European and North American League of Legends Championship Series playoffs begin this weekend, with quarterfinal matches on Saturday and Sunday. North America will go second on both days (as in the rest of the tournament), starting off with Cloud9 vs. Team SoloMid Saturday.
NA LCS 2016 Spring playoffs schedule, bracket and results
There’s an updated schedule and bracket with full results below the original schedule.
Riot Games
Immortals enters the field as the strong favorite, with a 17-1 spring split record and one of the strongest season performances in LCS history. But Counter Logic Gaming (13-5), Cloud9 (12-6) and Team Liquid (10-8) have each shown flashes of excellence this split, and any could conceivably challenge Immortals in a best-of-five series.
TSM and C9 have historically dominated the NA LCS playoffs: until CLG took home the trophy last split, one of those two teams had won every single time. TSM has still appeared in all six finals and won three of them, but enters the tournament as the No. 6 seed out of six teams. If Immortals wins, it would be the first NA team to win its debut split since Cloud9 in Summer 2013.
All series will be best-of-five and streamed live on lolesports.com.
