Welcome back to The Dive Driven by Kia! This week, the hosts look back at an eventful Week 6 that took place in Mexico City, and make their predictions for which LCS teams will advance to Worlds. Azael, Kobe, and Meteos discuss how much LYON dominated during Homegrounds, the death of C9’s 7-man roster, and if FlyQuest’s teamwork will continue to hold them back.

Welcome back to The Dive driven by Kia! This week, we do a deep dive into patch 26.17 (and all the Vayne nerfs that come with it!). Then, Azael, Kobe and Meteos look back at the Week 5 LCS matches. Sentinels are chilling, but pressure is up for FlyQuest, while Dignitas and Disguised have been eliminated from playoffs. What is coming up for the teams that are left, and do any of them have the right “vibes” to take themselves to the top? Our hosts move on to look ahead at the weekend, when the LCS goes to Mexico! We take a look at some of the most anticipated games of the weekend, put in our bets for the winners, and try to answer the question: does the fate of Shopify Rebellion depend on how greasy their jungler is? The LCS Summer Split continues this Saturday, and tickets are still available for the Finals in Georgia Gas South Arena! Grab your tickets here: https://www.ticketmaster.com/lcs-summer-finals-twoday-bundle-duluth-georgia-10-03-2026/event/0E0064F0E6BF3CB6 And always remember, when you’re on Summoner’s Rift, play to your strengths, even if they’re not that strong. We’ll see you next week!

On this week’s episode of The Dive Driven by Kia, we welcome Caps as the newest inductee in the Hall of Legends and chat about the historical LoL stars he’s joining! Emily sits in this week as she and Azael shared some of their own ideas and hopes for the future of HoL, and celebrate Caps. Get well soon, Kobe! (P.S. Leave a comment if you want Emily to release “Emily Rand’s Definitive History of League of Legends”!) Before shifting into the LCS Week 5 recap, we take a look at the upset between SEN and LYON, which led to an honest interview from Isles (via LCSProfiles) questioning their teamwork. This left our hosts wondering, what will happen when King Inspired returns? The LCS Summer Split continues this Saturday, and make sure to tune in Sunday as Zven, Dhokla, Inspired, Zeyzal, and Blaber take over the broadcast! Finally, a new wave of tickets to see the Summer Championship in person in at the Gas South Arena in Georgia has also dropped!
