The new season has come

The Championship Series are on their way, once again




Two months ago, SK Telekom T1 became the 1st team ever to win 2 World Championships and thus after only giving up 1 game in the whole tournament.

Next week will be the start of the 2016 League of Legends season with the beginning of the European LCS the 14th and the North America LCS the 16th.

The preseason has been the witness of huge investments for all the teams. Reconstruction for some, little reinforcements for others, but what we know is that this season will probably be one of the most exciting season that League of Legends as ever known. 

Indeed, the EU LCS look stronger than ever with the 2 Worlds semi-finalists Origen, reinforced by PowerOfEvil, and Fnatic who had too rebuild almost from ashes with only Martin "Rekkles" Larsson and Fabian "Febiven" Diepstraten as sole survivor of the team. 

Alongside those two powerhouses, the European LCS is also made by others strong organisation, ready to prove their value to the world. It's in this perspective that Vitality and H2K have built their actual roster.

In fact, the recruitments of Vitality could easily lead the team to a battle for the 1st place while H2K have shown good things in the last IEM and could also bring trouble in the hierarchy like they did last split.

Finally, the other rosters also changed their rosters, sometimes for the best, sometimes the worst, like it might be the case of Roccat after losing their whole team. But in any case, this season should be more intense than any other in Europe.

Beside, North America has also been the center of attention with certainly the biggest deal ever realized by a North-American team, i'm talking of course about the Doublelift saga.

Leaving his team, Counter Logic Gaming, after a winning split but failed Worlds to join the ultimate enemy TSM, is a huge bet for the genius AD Carry. But with the venue of Kim "Yellowstar" Bora as his support, the botlane of TSM look much stronger than any other.

Also, the arrivals of Team Immortals, NRG, Renegade (winner of the Challenger Series) and Echo Fox. That goes without saying that North America has also grown up in the best way and will also be the theater of huge League of Legends games. We've been telling that since years now but, this time, what if North America had truly his word at Worlds?

This year will probably be the most exciting year of competition ever since the creation of the LCS and everyone will be gathered to cheer those teams and wish them success.

I, myself, wish to see what i expect after those 2 months of big announcements. Good video games!

And let us pray for NA and EU to finally improve and be able to truly challenge the Korean teams and the biggest personality in the world of LoL, Faker.
