Episode 38 - LCS Pre-Season Tier List Spring 2020
Episode 38 - LCS Pre-Season Tier List Spring 2020
Recorded on: January 19th, 2020
We hope everybody had an excellent holiday season but it's time to get back to work as we gear up for the 2020 competitively League of Legends season! We'll be doing our pre-season tier lists and power rankings for the four major regions (LPL, LCK, LCS, LEC) over the next couple of weeks to get them to you all before those respective seasons begin.
A big part of capping or playing daily fantasy for any sport is to have a concept of the relative strength of teams before games are played because there is frequently a big edge to be gained before we start getting data and sample size. It frames a lot of your comparisons, discussions, and early season decisions. Is this Team A being overrated? Underrated? How many things need to go right for this team to exceed their expectation? etc. etc. Often there is a lot of value because of price memory or perception from the previous year or name brand value compared to actual evaluation.
Ultimately we won't know exactly how things play out until we see it but it's a good excercise to get yourself well-versed on the regions you intend to focus on and prepare yourself for the year!
