The 2021 Split has LCS stage many newcomers, potential ones at it. This week is more than proof of the fact for the League of Legends underdogs. Golden Guardians’ new top laner Licorice and FlyQuest’s rookie mid laner Triple have been in the spotlight for the weekend. Licorice, Worlds twice one as LCS starter, who won the 2020 LCS Spring Split championship has been offset for the top teams. His high-level top laner qualities could not be suppressed even in a bottom-tier team showing off with 19 kills, 18 assists, and only seven deaths.
FlyQuest’s Academy promoted mid laner Triple could only match shoulder with the Golden Guardians’ star with 19 kills, 26 assists, and a 7.5 KDA winning against C9, CLG, and Immortals. The kill leaderboard is also studded with other gems like C9’s star top laner Fudge, Evil Geniuses’ rookie AD carry Danny, and FlyQuest’s rookie jungler Nxi.
