In every split of the LCS, professional players inspire and dazzle us with their tenacity and  greatness. But one player always stands out against the rest.

In the Spring Split, Team SoloMid’s mid laner Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg and SK Gaming’s ADC Konstaninos “FORG1VEN” Tzortiou earned the MVP award for the NA and EU LCS.

We’re pleased to announce that the tradition of honoring the league’s best players will continue in the LCS Summer Split.

The Summer Split awards were determined by a panel of LCS casters, members of broadcast and content teams, writers, and the teams themselves. Panelists submitted ballots with their the top choices for each category, and each vote was weighted based on the order.

Over the next month, we will announce the winners of the awards for Best Coach, Outstanding Rookie, and the All Pro Team on PrimeTime League. The Most Valuable Player awards will be presented at the LCS Finals in New York City, USA and Stockholm, Sweden.

Update: Congratulations to Bora “YellOwStaR” Kim and Yoon-jae “Rush” Lee on winning MVP for the 2015 LCS Summer Split in EU and NA!
