The LCS Spring 2026 Playoffs delivered two defining results: LYON Gaming swept Cloud9 3-0 to lock in a Grand Final bye, while Team Liquid edged FlyQuest 3-1 to stay alive in the Lower Bracket. 🏆 Here's the full recap of this double-header weekend, plus the June 13 preview.
LYON entered the UB Final as strong favorites and left with zero doubt about it. They out-drafted C9 in all three games and snowballed every lead into a clean close. Cloud9 had no answer to LYON's coordination and macro play. 😤
Cloud9 now drops to the Lower Bracket Final, where they face Team Liquid in an all-or-nothing match. LYON, meanwhile, heads straight to the Grand Final with a full-rest advantage.
LCS Spring 2026 Playoffs
FlyQuest pushed TL to four games but couldn't close the series. Team Liquid showed why experience matters in playoff formats, adapting between games and finding the win when it counted. FLY's run ends here. 👋
This result is a redemption arc for TL, who came in after being swept 3-0 into the Lower Bracket earlier in the playoffs. A 3-1 victory in a high-pressure LB match is exactly the kind of bounce-back a title run needs.
The Spring 2026 bracket now comes down to two matches:
TL vs C9 is a rematch in a winner-takes-all format. The survivor faces LYON in the Grand Final, needing two wins in a row against the top seed. The pressure is entirely on the LB side.

This is the match NA has been waiting for: Cloud9 vs Team Liquid in the Lower Bracket Final on June 13 at 13:00 PDT (20:00 UTC). One series, winner-takes-all. 🎮
Both teams took different roads to get here: C9 was swept 3-0 by LYON in the UB Final, while TL clawed back with a 3-1 win over FlyQuest. The motivation levels couldn't be more equal. The loser goes home, the winner faces LYON Gaming in the Grand Final on June 14.
This is a classic LCS rivalry with serious playoff stakes. TL carries the momentum of a clean bounce-back performance against FLY. C9 has extra rest time and a point to prove after a disappointing UB Final exit. Both teams know each other's tendencies inside and out.
Watch the early-game macro: the team that wins Drake priority and secures early Rift Herald has dominated in this bracket. Mid-lane matchups will also be key in draft phase.
