Enemy Esports vs TDK | LoL Esports

Winning a place in the NA LCS: Does this team have room to run in the Summer Split?

It is hard to tell anything based on the performance in Challenger Series because the teams are all sub-LCS... however this team has shown dominance when playing. They have good champion diversity, which makes it hard to counterpick/ban, and they do seem very effective at opportunistic and evolving plays.

Although it is unlikely they will upset top tier teams such as TSM (which would require either an epic mid game battle or shutting Bjergsen down)... it is very possible they could be looking at a top 6 finish this Summer. I am hoping that they don't shy away from champion diversity (OMG in LCS :)) simply because of the "conventional LCS Meta".

Alas: Only Time Shall Tell...

BTW Note to NME:

The "E-sports" part of your name is unnecessary... and as a general note; having "E-Sports" or variations thereof, is kinda, uhm, "funkyiness" and nonspecific (everyone is a "E-sports" team). Simply being "Enemy" would be better....

They dominated the Challenger Scene. Traditional teams that have done that have done well in the LCS. That being said there are many good teams in the LCS right now. After watching the games it is hard to say they are a top team at the moment, But they are not what I call weak ether.

The enemy organization has multiple communities. Adding the Esports just associates them with a specific community.

I think that they have a pretty good chance at being an average or better than average team. They have a very strong understanding of champ select and are well coordinated with good shot calling which might not sound like much but certainly puts them ahead of the bottom teams. I think those things carry over well into the LCS, while mechanical skill is harder to judge. If they tighten it up a bit I bet they will be around 4-5th.

On the topic of their name I don't see why you are getting so hung up on that. They are an esports team. Their name states that. Real Madrid's full name is Real Madrid Club de Futbol, basically every soccer team is they same way in whatever language. It's pretty common for names to designate what things are.
