Pentakill will perform at LCS Mid Season Showdown
Riot GamesWith the MSS combining the playoffs and finals of the LCS with the goal to crown NA’s Spring Split champion, the event’s conclusion marks the return of LAN events after global restrictions prohibited mass gatherings.
Taking place at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles on March 11, the competition is well underway and the race to the final is heating up. Cloud9 have already secured their spot, with rivals Team Liquid lurking on the horizon.
Stomping onto the stage to break open the event are Pentakill, who will be debuting their mysterious new single (scheduled to drop later this year.)
Additionally, Riot’s Producer Justin Restaino is taking the wheel with the performance. The mind that brought us the spectacular 2017 Worlds dargon, and instigated True Damage’s insane 2019 Worlds performance, it’ll be exciting to see how he tackles the fan-favorite band.
Featuring the talents of former Dragonforce frontman turned Skid Row star ZP Theart, the band stormed the 2014 iTunes charts to take the number one spot.
