Are those maple leaves falling on the Rift? Our friends to the North have waited long enough – NA LCS Summer Finals weekend is heading to Toronto, Ontario. We’re closing out the final showdowns of Summer Split at the Air Canada Centre on August 27-28.
The winner of NA Summer Finals will not only win the championship title but also earn a spot to represent North America at the 2016 World Championship. The team that has accrued the most championship points throughout the season will also qualify for Worlds as the second seed. The third seed for NA at Worlds 2016 will be determined the following week via the NA Regional Qualifier at the NA LCS Studio. Seeding for the NA Regional Qualifier will be determined by championship points so every match at NA Finals weekend matters.
