The LCS might be done for the year but that doesn't mean there's not a lot to talk about! Finals weekend was one of the most memorable yet, thanks in no small part to the ending of the last game of the series.

Join Finals weekend enjoyers (and competitors) FLY Bwipo, TL Umti and 100 Tomo as they talk about the thoughts behind the final moments of the game, what they'd do differently and whether or not they think it's even the most cinematic ending to a series not just in the LCS but globally.

All this and more including the 100 v FLY Friday series, the sweet opening ceremony and what Team Liquid might've picked if they'd gotten to play the game five everyone expected.

The LCS has wrapped the last week of playoffs in the Riot Games Arena before we send our top 3 teams to the Youtube Theater in Los Angeles for the LCS Championship.

Jatt is joined on this episode of PROS by Sniper from 100 Thieves, APA from Team Liquid Honda, and Inspired from Flyquest after 3 days of intense LCS action, with a total of 14 of 15 possible games played across the weekend. Sniper reflects on knocking both Dignitas and Cloud9 out of playoffs, with additional commentary from APA and Inspired. They also break down their own epic 5 game series, where TL qualified straight to Saturday’s championship match.

The pros also look ahead to next week’s LCS Championship, and beyond that; Worlds. Be sure to watch or listen to this week’s episode of PROS to get all caught up on the action of the LCS from the penultimate week of the post-season, and get hyped for finals weekend!
