LYON maintained a dominant form to sweep Team Liquid 3-0 on Sunday and take home the championship of the LCS Spring playoffs in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Just one map exceeded 40 minutes of play as LYON coasted to a grand final victory that locked up qualification to the Mid-Season Invitational in Daejeon, South Korea, and the Esports World Cup in Paris. The Mid-Season Invitational begins later this month and carries into July while the EWC begins three days after the MSI ends.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Mexican esports organization prevailed in 42 and 37 minutes before making short work of Liquid to wrap up the victory in 35 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

It was a disappointing result for the Liquid side, which a day earlier had downed Cloud9 in a sweep of their own in the lower bracket final to qualify for Sunday’s championship.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Yet it continued a run of control from LYON, which likewise swept Cloud9 to qualify for the championship match after defeating Liquid 3-2 in the upper bracket semifinals in May.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The rematch was decidedly one-sided, as Kan “Saint” Seong-in of South Korea racked up 17 kills and 23 assists, while compatriot Kim “Berserker” Min-cheol posted a kill-death-assist ratio of 16-2-25. Australia’s Jonah “Isles” Rosario contributed 41 assists while Niship “Dhokla” Doshi added 28 assists.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

No Liquid competitors could manage more kills than deaths. Lim “Quid” Hyeon-seung had the most kills with nine while fellow South Korean Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in was the leading assist-getter with 15.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Eight teams competed in the best-of-three matches in the round-robin regular season, with the top six advancing to the playoffs of the League of Legends event. The double-elimination playoffs were all best-of-five matches in a double-elimination format.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

As tournament runner-up, Team Liquid also qualified for the Mid-Season Invitational.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
