We’re booting up this Summer Split faster than ever with the LCS’s newest partner, Samsung - a global leader in Solid State Drives (SSDs) that take gaming experiences to the next level (1).
Samsung has made a name for itself by turning PCs into powerhouses with its incredibly fast SSDs that reduce load times and enhance gaming performance (2). LCS players will also be able to compete on PCs powered by Samsung’s latest NVMe M.2 SSDs that are designed with gamers in mind. So we couldn’t think of a better partner to help us launch this summer’s newest segment, the Samsung SSD Fast Five!
Every week throughout Summer 2020, Samsung will track how quickly LCS players reached key benchmarks, in each position - 100 CS (for Top), Level 6 (for Jungle), Tier 3 item (for Mid), 10K gold (for Bot) and support item transformation (for Support). At the end of Summer Playoffs, Samsung and the LCS will anoint the Fast Five team of the fastest players in each position.
This summer promises to be another whirlwind of competition, and we’re proud to have the masters of speed themselves, Samsung, join us for the ride. Catch all the action on Friday, June 12 at watch.lolesports.com!
