It isnt a hyperbolic statement when I say the playoff matches coming up this weekend make up the greatest semifinals in the history of the North American League Championship Series, and maybe LCS as a whole.
[b]Air Max 270 Scontate Uomo[/b] . The three former champions of the league are in the top four, and the lone non-winner, Immortals, has been the rookie sensation of 2016, winning the regular-season crown last split and only dropping two matches to Team SoloMid in second place this split.On Saturday, Cloud9 vs. Immortals. The old gods versus the new. The battle of an organization attempting to establish itself as the elite of North America against a club in Immortals that resembles C9 in its early days, when it ran roughshod over the league. It will either be the fifth time C9 graces the finals stage, or the first time the finals is decked out in the green and black colors of Immortals.Sunday, its the El Clásico. The grandaddy of all rivalries in North American esports. The back-to-back defending, reigning and undisputed champion of the NA LCS, Counter Logic Gaming will put its belt on the line against the team it prevailed against twice in a row in the finals to win the league. Team SoloMid comes into the series as the frontrunner in the playoffs as the first-place seed with an organization best record of 17-1. Unless the two end up playing each other at Worlds, this will be the final meeting of the year between the rivals, with the winner of the semifinal automatically qualifying for the world championships.Four teams looking to rewrite their legacies. Two explosive days of action. Only one place they want to end up: the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Aug. 28 for the NA LCS championship finals.What does a win this weekend mean for each team?Cloud9It means Cloud9 is great once again. C9 has been in a transition period for the past year while former captain Hai Hai Lam has tried to gracefully maneuver into the management side of esports, and this split could finally be the end of the rebuild. The team is working well in its new democratic-style of shotcalling with all five players having a hand in making crucial in-game decisions. The return of William Meteos Hartman has been seamless along with the addition of starting top laner Jung Impact Eon-yeong. A finals appearance, which would be C9s first since spring of last year when it lost to TSM, would be a signal of the Hai era officially closing in favor of Cloud9s next chapter.ImmortalsIt legitimizes all the good things Immortals has done this year. Immortals won the regular season in dominating fashion last split, yet failed to make the finals following a 3-0 drumming by TSM in the semifinals. As the only team in the final four to not have a league championship, making the finals would prove that Immortals arent just a regular-season team that cant win the big one in the playoffs. Cloud9 is a tough opponent, but like last season, Immortals come into the series as favorites in a new meta it hasnt officially played in before. Another loss in the semifinals would make us wonder if the team cant adapt in playoffs, and if Immortals have become the new Team Liquid that cant find its way to the finals.Counter Logic GamingIf CLG can complete the three-peat, it would be the greatest feat in the history of the North American LCS. TSM won the first NA LCS championship, but then the emergence of C9 halted its progress. C9 would take the next two titles versus TSM in the finals before TSM roared back to beat C9 in the next two finals. When TSM went for its very own three-peat in New York City last year at Madison Square Garden, CLG were able to sweep them and win its first title. Now, CLG, working on its own three-peat, is on the verge of putting together championship runs in New York City, Las Vegas and Toronto if it can get through the next two matches as victors. It hasnt been the best regular season for CLG; however, no one will remember that if it can win a third straight title.Team SoloMidEverything. The team with the most to lose this weekend is TSM. A win against CLG and the past year of futility against its rivals is wiped away. Worlds is guaranteed, the constant losses to CLG in the playoffs are a thing of the past, TSM is once again the crown jewel of North America as Counter Logic returns to being the understudy. A loss, on the other hand, and it would be a third straight playoff loss to CLG, and if Immortals beat Cloud9, it would mean TSM would have to win a do-or-die match in the gauntlet to make the World Championships.Victory equals glory, validation and cleansing.Defeat represents despair and anguish, and confirms CLG is the superior team when it matters the most.

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Theyve jettisoned over 700 games of AFL experience this week, but Sydney are adamant they have picked on form and arent taking Carlton lightly.Sydneys three oldest players Ted Richards (33), Jarrad McVeigh (31) and Ben McGlynn (30) wont be facing the Blues at the SCG on Saturday.Co-captain McVeigh tweaked his groin at training, while McGlynn and Richards were both dropped.Among the inclusions were debutant Jordan Foote and Richards younger brother Xavier, who has played just two senior games.Sydney will field nine players with fewer than 30 appearances and five with ten or less.If they (Carlton) have done their homework they will see that Xavier has kicked 20 goals in the last three or four (NEAFL) games and Jordan Foote had played hard all season, Swans senior assistant coach Stuart Dew told AAP.If they take those guys lightly they will get a shock. Weve picked a team that we feel is fit and in-form and we certainly havent disrespected Carlton in any way.We really went with form players regardless of their age.After losing three of their last five games, including successive home matches Sydney have slipped back into the pack.Sydney top the AFLs contested possessions category and Carlton are bottom and while Sydney have had a distracted build-up with the arrest of injured defender Michael Talia, Dew is adamant the Swans wont be off their game.
[b]Nike Air Max 1 Saldi[/b]. .He hasnt really been mentioned this week because its been dealt with by the club really swiftly, Dew said.Carlton regain spearhead Levi Casboult from suspension, and Blaine Boekhorst returns for his first game since round three following hamstring and wrist problems.While the Swans suggested they would try to keep a close rein or rising Blues star Patrick Cripps, Carlton coach Brendon Bolton remains adamant the young midfielder needs no protection from his more senior teammates.Hell be up for the fight, theres no doubt about that, Bolton said.Hes a big boy. I dont think he needs protection.Stoppages are going to be critical and we know they have got some real strong bodies in around there.Its going to be a great contest for Gibbs, Curnow and Cripps, so were really looking forward to that challenge.
