Counter Logic Gaming secured the second spot in the 2019 LCS Summer Split<\/a> playoffs with a spectacular win over Clutch Gaming, meaning CLG will appear in the post-season for the first time in two long years.<\/p>\n

Counter Logic entered the split as underdogs to finish in the top six. Looking back at LCS Spring, where they finished seventh with a 7-11 record, CLG produced nothing that suggested they had the quality to compete in the playoffs. <\/p>\n

Knowing they had to change something, CLG decided it was time to part ways with Darshan \u201cDarshan\u201d Upadhyaya. They replaced him with the Korean top-laner Kim \u201cRuin\u201d Hyeong-min, who has proved to be the backbone of the team and a player CLG can rely on to produce good results consistently.<\/p>\n

With a new, younger and more consistent top-laner, CLG entered the NA LCS Summer Split with their heads held high and their goals set even higher. And while some took their ambitions with a grain of salt, CLG knew where they were heading.<\/p>\n

It did not take long after the split started for CLG to establish themselves as a team that should not be underestimated. Their first order of business was to take down Team Liquid in week two, which helped them reach an impressive 4-2 record by the end of week three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
