Team SoloMid have now reached the NA finals eight out of eight times,
winning three championships thus far. However, they did drop
back-to-back titles to Cloud9 in 2013 (Summer) and 2014 (Spring). Then
TSM got their revenge on Cloud9 in the next two finals. This summer's
team tore through the Group Stage with a record of 17-1; Cloud9 were
third at 12-6.



The EU final pits the top two teams from the regular season, with G2
(10-8) taking first and Splyce (9-6-3) taking second. G2 are the
reigning champs from this year's Spring Split, marking their first major
title since launching in 2014. Splyce are new on the scene, formed from
the ashes of Team Dignitas EU, which was sold to Follow eSports last
October. They finished the Spring Split at 5-13 and had to win their way
out of relegation to reclaim their LCS spot.
