The 2016 NA LCS Summer Playoffs features six teams competing for the championship title at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Here's what you need to know about each contender:

Team SoloMid enters as the clear favorite after dominating the regular season. With rookie support Biofrost proving to be an excellent addition, TSM seeks their fourth title and first since 2015.

Immortals secured the second seed with only two losses all split - both to TSM. They'll look to avenge these defeats and potentially face TSM in the finals for the championship.

Cloud9 maintained third place for most of the season, showing occasional brilliance against top teams. They begin their playoff run against Team EnVyUs, aiming for their third title.

Team EnVyUs, the only qualifying newcomer, started strong but barely made playoffs after late-season struggles. They face an uphill battle starting with Cloud9.

Counter Logic Gaming overcame a rough start to find their rhythm late in the split. As reigning champions, they pursue an unprecedented third consecutive NA LCS title.

Team Liquid stabilized after early roster issues with Dardoch's return, maintaining mid-pack performance throughout the split. They seek their first LCS championship.

The playoffs begin August 13 with Cloud9 vs Team EnVyUs, followed by CLG vs Team Liquid on August 14. All matches are best-of-five series.
