Ssumday continued to be one of the most impactful players this past weekend, being the first in the LCS this split to use Lucian in the top lane.

In terms of XP (experience points), every one of Ssumday's teammates was losing to their respective opponents at the 15-minute mark while Ssumday himself led Hauntzer by an impressive 912 XP. The South Korea native utilized this early game advantage to carry his team to an impressive victory over the Golden Guardi

Immortals' Eika and DAMWON Gaming's ShowMaker in Korea were the only other players to use Corki, both losing their games on t he daring bombardier .

Speaking on Johnsun's development in his second ever LCS split, aphromoo explained how he's helping facilitate the young bot laner's development. "I’ve been in so many situations where I know what’s gonna happen.
