LCS Summer 2020 Power Rankings: No Clear Number Two After Week 3
By Josh Tyler
LCS Summer 2020 Week 3 is in the books, here is where the teams sit in our LCS power rankings.
5. FlyQuest (4-2)
Elo: 407 (-18)
That aforementioned loss to Golden Guardians is really going to come back to haunt FlyQuest, who were potentially going to be alone in the second seed with a 5-1 record had they won that game. Not only did they drop to the middle of the pack in the standings, but the loss tanked their elo down to the bottom of the “clump” below Cloud9.
The bad news for FlyQuest is that their task only gets harder next week, as they’ll have to face Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid in their two games. Considering they’re one of the slowest teams in the LCS, they’re going to really struggle against two of the better early game teams in the league.

5. TSM (4-2)
Elo: 427 (+101)
TSM followed up a very impressive win over Evil Geniuses with a very unimpressive win over 100 Thieves. From Spica losing Baron with the enemy jungler dead to giving up inhibitors for free, this was a game that should have been won about five times by either team.
That said, you have to be encouraged that TSM is able to get wins against teams that are not in the absolute basement of the LCS. It’s also encouraging that they’ve been one of the more aggressive early-game teams, averaging over a 500g lead at 15 minutes.
