With the removal of the Lemondogs team from the LCS, a rare opportunity has presented itself. A coveted LCS spot has miraculously become vacant, allowing three teams to compete for it. Ninjas in Pyjamas have wasted no time in announcing their intention to use their original line up from the last promotion tournament.
The line-up for the Tiebreakers will be the same line-up as for Relegation. Go @NiPGaming !
