TSM vs. CLG is back, and this time they're playing on the original Summoner's Rift. On July 24, 2026, Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles hosts LCS Classic: a special showmatch that revives the most iconic rivalry in North American League of Legends history. If you grew up watching NA LoL, this is the match you've been waiting for.
TSM and CLG didn't just compete, they defined an era. Their feud traces back to the game's beta days, when Reginald and HotshotGG were teammates before a split turned them into the fiercest rivals NA had ever seen. Reginald founded TSM with one mission: dominate CLG on every stage.
What followed were years of playoff classics, legendary upsets, and the kind of matches that turned casual viewers into lifelong fans. These two teams didn't just play each other, they elevated each other. Every TSM vs CLG clash felt like must-watch television.
The rivalry reached legendary status when both owners made a bet: the loser's owner would have to get the rival team's logo tattooed on their face. HotshotGG ended up sporting a TSM logo on his forehead after losing. That image became one of esports' most iconic moments, capturing exactly how intense and personal this rivalry was.
After the drama of the LCS Spring 2026 Grand Final and a stacked , NA's competitive spirit is clearly still burning. The LCS Classic brings that energy back to where it all began.
LCS Classic is Riot's tribute to the early years of competitive League: a showmatch played on the original Summoner's Rift, with rules that predate homeguards and turret plates. Think Season 3 energy, pure mechanical skill, no modern shortcuts.
Legendary players from NA's first LCS era will step back onto the Rift as part of LCS Summer Split Opening Week. Full roster announcements will drop on the LCS Official X account in the days leading up to the event. After an incredible international run that included the MSI 2026 bracket stage, this Classic feels like a natural celebration of everything NA has given to the game.
