NA LCS Week 1 by the numbers

Week 1 of the 2017 North American LCS Spring Split has come and gone, and already fans and commentators alike are rubbing their hands together and making some pretty bold predictions.

It was a weekend that showed us how some things in the NA LCS never change. Echo Fox still struggle to close out games, Counter Logic Gaming are seemingly content to give their fans a series of near-fatal heart attacks, and certain champions (looking at you Camille) are too OP not to ban.

Though the weekend also coughed up its fair share of surprises. Cloud9 fans, for example, should be happy with the performance of Cloud9 and OG Cloud9 AKA FlyQuest, both sitting at the top of the table. Some rookie NA junglers made waves in their debuts and while all eyes were on the multitude of Korean import top laners, it was a young home-grown talent that put on the best performance in the role.

For a look into the stats from Week 1 of the NA LCS check out our infographic below!

If they are going to do stats on "Players of the Week" they should have used "Least Deaths" instead of "Most Deaths"

It could get thrown off by subs who only played one game though. Maybe if they had a requirement of, say, 4 games played, to get on that list

That wouldn't work either if teams are actually cycling their players as they intend; that would mean Impact/Ray and Goldenglue/Link will also have very skewed numbers compared to the rest of the league. An overall KDA rank would probably better reflect that kind of statistic if you're wanting to measure who died the least compared to player contribution per game. Since we have that, I'd rather see a stat for the best CS/M stat or maybe wards killed per game average.
