Counter Logic Gaming and Clutch Gaming will clash on Saturday, August 24 to determine third place in the 2019 LCS Summer Split<\/a>, only a day prior to the grand final between Team Liquid and Cloud9.<\/p>\n

As two teams who failed to impress in the spring, both rose from the ashes and outperformed all expectations this summer. The fact that CG and CLG finished top five in the regular season was impressive to begin with, yet they further impressed by reaching the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Out of the two, it was CG who took the spotlight by defeating TSM (3-1) and producing a tough fight against TL (2-3) in the semis, yet there is one last hurdle they will need to jump over in order to claim their first-ever top-three finish.<\/p>\n

Formerly known as one of the strongest teams in North America, CLG are back in business after a lean patch in recent times.<\/p>\n

Counter Logic booked a playoff spot with a 12-6 record and went on to decimate OpTic Gaming 3-0 in the quarter-finals, although they went down 1-3 to Cloud9 in the semis.<\/p>\n

While CLG are a very strong team that deserved to reach the top four, there are some concerns about how well they are prepared for the upcoming fixture.<\/p>\n

Their lack of matches against top teams in the last few weeks of the split took a toll on their match-readiness, which was highlighted in the loss to C9.<\/p>\n

What that will mean for their fixture against CG is yet to be seen.<\/p>\n

As a team who did not look too promising in the spring split, CG lifted their game over the summer to secure a fifth-place finish and a ticket to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

All of their achievements this split can be credited to the improvement of each individual player on the roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
