Week 3 of the LCS is complete, and while the standings may not immediately reflect how close the teams are in strength, Jatt makes sure to get the really story from some of our LCS coaches. That's right, it's another coach-isode featuring Shopify Rebellion Damonte, Team Liquid Alienware Spookz, and Dignitas Swiffer.

The episode starts with a quick history lesson on how far back Spookz and Swiffer go, before the squad dive into the match between these friends-turned-enemies in TLAW vs DIG. That leads to a discovery about the strongest link between the three coaches.

Then the group reveal how they approach scrims and coaching, and how to navigate the ups and downs of a long competitive season. Damonte shares his thoughts on SR's series vs Lyon, which leads to a longer discussion about Lyon and Inspired before the coaches evaluate Jatt's current power ranking of the league.

We close out with some walks down memory lane, and a look ahead to next week's matches to find out who everyone is most excited to watch. Tune into next weekend's LCS matches to see how it all goes down, as our teams battle it out in the Spring Split on the road to ASU's Mullet Arena!

Week 2 of the LCS has completed, and Raz has convened The Top Lane Council to discuss the weekend's matches, what it means to be a top laner in 2026, and where to get good Korean food in Los Angeles.As always, our squad starts by dissecting the weekend's matches. It's still early days in the Spring Split, and with only a single-round robin, it can be hard to gauge team strength so Raz quizzes all of the players on their scrims. Is Team Liquid Alienware the real deal? How is LYON losing games? Who is the worst team in the LCS?Then Raz asks about the top lane role and how it has evolved over the years. From Impact's veteran experience to Thanatos' relatively new perspective, the pros share their thoughts on League's lonliest lane and the top lane quest introduced this year.To close out, our Korean guests share what it's like to move across the world in pursuit of glory in the LCS, what keeps them from getting homesick, and their favorite foods to eat. We hope you enjoy this episode of PROS, and be sure to watch next weekend of LCS as the Spring Split continues on the road to Arizona!0:00 - Intro1:25 - Learning English5:35 - SEN vs C9 Recap11:25 - Takeaways from FLY vs DSG14:00 - Parsing Scrim Data21:20 - The Top Lane Role29:20 - Making an Impact in Hard Situations35:30 - Finding Passion in LoL44:00 - Acclimating to Living Abroad52:20 - Comfort food in LA58:50 - Next Week Look AheadYou can always learn more and view the full match schedule at https://lolesports.com/en-US?leagues=lcsFollow us:https://twitter.com/lcsofficialhttps://tiktok.com/@lcsofficialhttps://www.instagram.com/lcsofficial/

The LCS is Back with Opening Weekend of the Spring Split, with best of threes, live patch, fearless and the return of PROS! This week Emily hosts an NRG reunion with Shopify Rebellion Contractz alongside former teammates now repping Dignitas: FBI & Ignar.
The episode kicks off with some brief comments to acknowledge the Ultimate Grudge Match Bowl, Two as Contractz faces off against a slew of former teammates, and the results were more one-sided than may have been anticipated. Then we turn focus to a topic on many fans minds: Cloud9 Kia vs LYON, and who is the best team in the LCS? What can we learn from this weekend's results, and is Inspired the best kind of teammate?
Then the squad discusses Team Liquid Alienware and their match versus Flyquest, and if they feel like TLAW can overcome whatever stage block affected them during Lock In to show their true strength in Spring. Sentinels & Disguised had a banger series this weekend as well, and the pros try to make sense of how much parity is in the league.
Finally, the group looks ahead to next weekend, where everyone seems to think it'll be a one-sided affair... but you never know what will happen on the LCS, so be sure to tune in next weekend to find out, as the Spring Split continues!

And just like that LCS Lock-in comes to a close, as Kangas sits down with the victorious Inspired, Berserker and Reignover after they knocked off heavy favorites Cloud9 in the grand finals and punching a ticket to First Stand.The champions start by recapping the finals and reflecting on their lower bracket run, before Berserker covers his return to NA and gives his thoughts on the bot lane competition in 2026. Then, the Pros reflect on the decisive moment of the series: Saint’s massive Ahri game to defeat Sven’s surprise Mel bot lane.Next, the group talks about the thing on everybody’s mind, are Cloud9 cursed? LYON diagnoses what went wrong for the favorites and what they could have done differently as Berserker details on how he recovered from a rough year in the LCK.The champs also addressed whether or not starting in the lower bracket is actually a buff and Reignover talks about how LYON maximized their practice during their break (and what it’s like coaching Inspired).Finally, they turn their eyes to First Stand and discuss LYON’s chances, along with how they match up stylistically against various teams from around the world.
