Team SoloMid are your LCS 2021 Summer first-place finishers.

The legacy LCS organization beat 100 Thieves to the top spot in the final week, after 100T suffered a major slide in the final rounds.

Nadeshot’s League of Legends lineup still managed to land second, however, staying one win ahead of the fast-finishing Evil Geniuses (28-17) and Cloud9, who were resigned to fourth on head-to-head tiebreakers. Team Liquid and Dignitas rounded out the top six with 27-18 and 23-22 records respectively.

Rounding out the final eight are Immortals (20-25) and Golden Guardians, who earned the last finals spot on the very last day of Summer.

Closer and Spica lead the MVP race with nine Player of the Games apiece.

The LCS 2021 Championship now awaits; the eight-team playoffs are penned in to begin on Friday, August 7.
