The LCS might be done for the year but that doesn't mean there's not a lot to talk about! Finals weekend was one of the most memorable yet, thanks in no small part to the ending of the last game of the series.

Join Finals weekend enjoyers (and competitors) FLY Bwipo, TL Umti and 100 Tomo as they talk about the thoughts behind the final moments of the game, what they'd do differently and whether or not they think it's even the most cinematic ending to a series not just in the LCS but globally.

All this and more including the 100 v FLY Friday series, the sweet opening ceremony and what Team Liquid might've picked if they'd gotten to play the game five everyone expected.
