This new era of LCS is great. From a personality perspective all the rosters are super charming and fun, and I can't remember the last time this was the case. Reminds me of early/pre-LCS days where teams had distinct character. Content is also the best it has ever been.

Definitely shocking to read but I've always wondered why play-ins get excluded from pick ems..
Copywriter was definitely trying something and missed but the fact that this phrasing made it onto the site feels bad. Hope nobody gets in huge trouble for it though.
Apparently the official
@lolesports
Pick 'Ems game doesn't support the Play-In stage? Play-Ins are not a pre-show to Worlds; they are Worlds. Disappointing.
