Instead of battling over a prize pool, teams will be competing for a spot in the NA LCS. 

LCS is the one of the most important events in LoL eSports. All the professional LoL teams from NA and EU compete in LCS for money, prestige, and a chance to go to Worlds. Only two teams from the the Challenger Series can earn a spot at LCS, so expect heated competition.

As for match predictions, I think Apex and Ember will be the teams most likely to advance to the Finals. Apex has shown an incredible performance so far by having a 80% win rate, and topping the tournament’s score board. Plus the team has ex-TSM member, Xpecial, on support. Having an LCS veteran with professional experience on the team is incredibly valuable. Here is quick highlight video that shows both teams in action
