Riot Games have announced the line-up for a throwback LCS showmatch between the two NA League of Legends powerhouses - Cloud9 and TSM.
The LCS fans of the first hour can look forward to a comeback of their former heroes. The LCS teams TSM and C9 will compete in a show match, one day before the LCS match of the current teams. Fans of the former "Team Curse" can also look forward to one of their favorites in the TSM squad.
The Teams
For the show match, the organization Cloud9 has gathered the original LCS squad of the 2013 team. That means we will see Sneaky, Meteos, Hai Du Lam, Daerek "LemonNation" Hart, and An "Balls" Van Le play on C9 side. In 2013, this surprise team has dominated the summer season 25-3.
TSM also has all but one player from the 2013 squad on their team. Confirmed are the former LCS professionals: Marcus "Dyrus" Hill, Brian "TheOddOne" Wyllie, Jason "WildTurtle" Tran, and Alex "Xpecial" Chu. TSM CEO Andy "Reginald" Dinh will not be joining the team, but TSM will get a prominent replacement from former Team Curse. Spectator favorite Voyboy will support TSM in the show match.
