Three LCS games to watch in week 4: Summer 2020

With two-thirds of the Summer Split still ahead in the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), week four is the point in the split where lines become clearly drawn in the standings. By the end of this week, nearly all of the teams will have played against one another.  

This is the time in the split when the contenders reveal themselves, the pretenders fade from championship contention (or second-place contention as the league stands), and the ‘bad’ teams either begin their rebound or continue their plight.

To that end, what are the most important games to watch this upcoming week of the summer split? Read on to find out!

Golden Guardians Vs. TSM

Insert obligatory comment about how this will show that these teams are the real deal.

In seriousness, this game is about two teams that seem incredibly inconsistent. Both have had flashes of brilliance and flashes of idiocy.  TSM was resoundingly smashed by some of the teams around them and did the same to others.  It is incredibly hard to place them. 

For Golden Guardians, they just came off a week where they received a surprise loss to the Immortals academy roster, and then followed that up by thoroughly dismantling Evil Geniuses. Those performances couldn’t be further apart. Which is the real Golden Guardians? Hopefully, this match will provide the answer.

Will TSM take the fight to the top teams or will Golden Guardians show themselves to be contenders? Find out Saturday at 4 p.m. EST.

FlyQuest Vs. Team Liquid

FlyQuest (FLY) and Team Liquid (TL) appear to be two of the major contenders this split. They seem to be the only two teams that can even seem competitive against the likes of the behemoth that is Cloud9.
