Based on your team of choice, you can find your viewer's guide for the last five games of LEC Spring 2021 below. The data is taken from the LEC foldy sheet, found here.
The day's breather game is Game 3 (AST vs MAD), as it has no impact on any team's standings. MAD are already locked into 3rd, and AST are already locked into 9th. Hope for an appropriate fiesta here.
For the other four games (of which Every Game Counts), refer to your team name below.
Kings, Legacies, Dynasties (1st/2nd place)
G2 Esports (G2)
- Game 1 – Game 3: Relax and watch the fireworks.
- Game 4 (G2 vs SK): Bite your nails and hope your boys don't run it down. If you win, you lock first place.
- Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): If your boys did run it down in Game 4, you are now rooting for FNC. If FNC wins, you place first. Otherwise, you place second.
Rogue (RGE)
- Game 1 – Game 3: Relax and watch the fireworks.
- Game 4 (G2 vs SK): You are rooting for SK. If G2 win, they lock first place, and you locks second.
- Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): If you win here, and SK won in Game 4, you place first. Otherwise, you place second.
The already-locked (3rd, 9th, 10th place)
Astralis (AST) / Team Vitality (VIT)
- Game 1 – Game 5: Spend all day with a big bag of popcorn, weeping silently. You are locked into 9th and 10th place respectively.
MAD Lions (MAD)
- Game 1 – Game 5: Share the popcorn of the AST/VIT fan, while comforting them as they weep silently. You are locked into 3rd place.
The remaining Charlie Foxtrot (4th–8th place)
Fnatic (FNC)
- Game 1 (MSF vs VIT): This is your first opportunity to bury your worst nightmares – you're rooting for VIT. If they win, you are guaranteed playoffs.
-
Game 2 (XL vs S04): You're rooting for XL. If they win, you either lock 4th place (if VIT won) or guarantee playoffs (if MSF won). If you are locked into 4th, your adventure ends here.
(The below assumes you are not locked into 4th.) -
Game 4 (G2 vs SK): This is a tricky one:
- VIT won Game 1 and S04 won Game 2: You are rooting for SK, because their win locks you into 4th. If G2 wins, you would place 5th if you lose Game 5.
- MSF won Game 1 and S04 won Game 2: You are the biggest G2 fan on the face of Runeterra. If SK wins, all your nightmares coagulate, and you miss playoffs if you lose Game 5.
- MSF won Game 1 and XL won Game 2: You aren't all that invested. You will place 5th/6th if you lose Game 5, no matter who wins here.
- Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): A FNC win makes all of your previous nail-biting pointless, and you lock 4th place no matter what. If you went 0-3 on the week, see above for your result.
FC Schalke 04 (S04)
- Game 1 (MSF vs VIT): This has no impact on your playoff chances. If you're optimistic to a fault, a VIT win would keep the possibility of 4th place alive.
-
Game 2 (XL vs S04): This is your must-win game. If you lose, you lock 8th, and your adventure ends here. If you win, you are guaranteed playoffs, and are locked into 5th/6th if MSF won.
(The below assumes a S04 win.) - Game 4 (G2 vs SK): If VIT won their game, you are rooting for G2 to keep the chance of 4th place alive.
- Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): If both VIT and G2 won, you're rooting for RGE. If all three of VIT, G2, and RGE win their games, you have miraculously made it into 4th place.
Misfits (MSF)
-
Game 1 (MSF vs VIT): This is your must-win game. If you lose, you are locked into 7th place, and your adventure stops here.
(The below assumes a MSF win.) - Game 2 (XL vs S04): You're rooting for XL. If they win, you guarantee playoffs.
- Game 4 (G2 vs SK): If XL didn't guarantee you playoffs before, you're rooting for G2 here. If they win, you also guarantee playoffs.
-
Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): You are the biggest RGE fan on the face of Runeterra.
- If RGE wins, you are guaranteed 4th place.
- If RGE lose, and you weren't guaranteed playoffs yet, you place 7th. Otherwise, you place 5th/6th.
SK Gaming (SK)
-
Game 1 (MSF vs VIT): You're rooting for VIT, as a VIT win locks you into 5th/6th place. In this case, you can breathe easy, and your adventure stops here.
(The below assumes a MSF win.) - Game 2 (XL vs S04): Kick back, and try to remain calm. This game has no impact on your standing.
- Game 4 (G2 vs SK): Your must-win game. If you win, you lock 5th place. If you lose, you lock 7th place.
- Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): Either relax or continue to sob uncontrollably. You're already locked based on the results of Game 1 and Game 4.
Excel Esports (XL)
- Game 1 (MSF vs VIT): You're rooting for VIT. If VIT wins, then you can guarantee playoffs in the next game. If MSF win, you are in for a nail-biter of a day.
-
Game 2 (XL vs S04): Your must-win game. If you lose, you are locked into 8th place. If you win, and VIT won the previous game, you are locked into 6th place. Regardless, your adventure ends here.
(The below assumes that both MSF and XL won their games.) - Game 4 (G2 vs SK): If G2 wins, you lock 6th place. If SK wins, you lock 7th place and miss playoffs.
- Game 5 (RGE vs FNC): Either relax or continue to sob uncontrollably. You're already locked based on the previous games' results.
But that's way too much text, can't you give me a one-liner?
- G2: Either don't go 0-3, or have RGE lose. Either way, you place first.
- RGE: G2 has to lose, you have to win. If both happen, you place first.
- MAD: You're already locked into third.
-
FNC: As long as you don't go 0-3, you place 4th. If you've lost confidence, root for VIT and XL.
FNC: (If you plan to lose Game 5, refer to the full version for Game 4. It's complicated.) - S04: Win your game to make playoffs. If you win, and all of VIT/G2/RGE also won, you place 4th.
- MSF: Win your game. Afterwards, if one of XL/G2/RGE wins, you make playoffs. If RGE wins, you place 4th.
- SK: If VIT wins, you make playoffs. If VIT loses, you must beat G2 to make playoffs.
- XL: Win your game. You also need one of VIT/G2 to win.
- AST/VIT: You're locked into 9th/10th. Try to be a blue shell.
I don't think I made any mistakes. If I did, please let me know in the comments.
