The Dive | Driven by Kia - A League of Legends Esports Podcast

Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Dive! Azael, Kobe, and Meteos recap round 1 of playoffs, break down Skarner and his updates, discuss their predictions for the upper and lower brackets, and debate who can win the LCS title. And don’t worry, we didn’t forget: Kobe might have to eat a lemon depending on how things shake out. (We hold each other accountable here on The Dive.)

P.S. APA might be the best trash talker in all of sports.
