Team Curse,\u00a0one of the other three teams to qualify back into the LCS alongside ourselves in the December\u00a0Promotion tournament, heavily favored Renekton, Dr. Mundo, and Annie during their promotion\u00a0set against COGnitive Gaming which took place a little under a month ago. While Quas favored\u00a0Renekton and Shyvana in the Promotion tournament, his main account has been dormant for\u00a0the last two weeks. Will he bring out something new to test the limits of ZionSpartan?<\/p>\n<h2>Day 2<\/h2>\n<p>Leaving only 30 minutes later than the previous day, Team Coast will not play until the final game of\u00a0the day against Team Dignitas. Coming off a disappointing performance at Battle of the Atlantic\u00a0against Alliance, Dignitas has a lot to prove with their movement of KiwiKid to the bottom lane\u00a0and the acquisition of Cruzer to replace KiwiKid for the top lane. Predicted by many to be the\u00a0weakest team going into Week 1, dignitas is ready to prove the world incorrect and take a\u00a0game. It&#8217;s going to be a long day, getting into the studio really early comparatively to when the\u00a0match begins. Team Coast will be able to watch dignitas&#8217; games against Counter Logic Gaming and\u00a0Team SoloMid to help prepare for the match. As super week continues, the more and more up\u00a0to date research each team will have on their opponents.<\/p>\n<h2>Day 3<\/h2>\n<p>Each team plays four games during this super week which means one day will be a double-header. Team Coast drew Sunday as their two game day as they face the newly-formed Evil Geniuses\u00a0and XDG Gaming with their freshly announced role swap. Evil Geniuses will be fan favorites\u00a0going into the match, and Team Coast will have to make sure the crowd doesn&#8217;t affect our performance\u00a0in the new studio. Shiphtur stopping EG mid laner, Pobelter, may determine the pace of the\u00a0game and will be the matchup to watch in their first game of Sunday. Both players play similar\u00a0champions and play style with aggressive kills helping them snowball into the later stages.<\/p>\n<p>The second matchup of the day is against XDG Gaming (formerly Team Vulcun), which is\u00a0slotted as the last day of the game. Team Coast has a one game break between games on Sunday,\u00a0which means they have an hour to focus on XDG. The matchup of this game is the bottom lane,\u00a0with the new XDG bottom lane of Xmithie and Bloodwater vs the new AD carry WizFujiiN and\u00a0Daydreamin. Xmithie recently switched to the AD carry after proving to be one of the top North\u00a0American junglers during the 2013 summer split. The jungle pressure from new Jungler Zuna and\u00a0the laning phase performance from the new XDG bot lane, will be a huge factor in the results of\u00a0this game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2014 North American LCS started this past Friday, and our very own Team Coast competed for their third consecutive season!\u00a0The first week of LCS is a super week and consists of each of the\u00a0eight teams playing four games over three days, but after dominating Challenger League\u00a0over the off-season and\u00a0swapping out DontMashMe for WizFujiiN, Team&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/team-coast-and-na-lcs-season-4\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Team Coast and NA LCS Season 4 Week 1<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2724],"tags":[914,1547,69,1574,1676,2026],"class_list":["post-2258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-esports","tag-lcs","tag-league-of-legends","tag-lol","tag-na-lcs","tag-team-coast"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2258"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15293,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2258\/revisions\/15293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
