Shopify Rebellion Just Swept Week 1 and Nobody in the LCS Saw It Coming
Shopify Rebellion walked out of Week 1 of the LCS Spring regular season undefeated, and they did it the hard way: a clean 2-0 sweep over Dignitas on Sunday. While the rest of the league was trading wins and losses, Shopify was the only team that went perfect, and now they're sitting pretty atop the standings heading into Week 2.
The Dominant Sweep
Shopify dismantled Dignitas with back-to-back victories, winning in 34 minutes on red in the first match and then closing it out in just 24 minutes on red in the second. That's the kind of efficiency you want to see early in the season. South Korean players Baek-jin "Zinie" Yoo and Yeong-hoon "Bvoy" Ju each took home MVP honors for the victories, showing that Shopify's dominance was spread across the roster.

Liquid started strong with a 32-minute win on blue, but FlyQuest forced a Game 3 with a 29-minute win on red. Liquid had the last word though, closing it out 27 minutes later on blue. Brandon "Josedeodo" Villegas from Argentina was the MVP in both of Liquid's wins, while FlyQuest's Fahad "Massu" Abdulmalek took MVP honors in their one victory.
The Road Ahead
Eight teams are battling it out in best-of-three round-robin matches throughout the regular season. After that, the top teams will head to playoffs in a double-elimination format with best-of-five series. The real prize here is making the Mid-Season Invitational, which only the top two teams will earn.
After Week 1, Shopify sits alone at 1-0 with a flawless 2-0 map differential. Cloud9, Disguised, and Team Liquid are all tied at 1-0 as well, though each has a 2-1 map differential. FlyQuest, LYON, and Sentinels are all 0-1 with a 1-2 map count. Dignitas is the only team still winless after being swept, sitting at 0-1 with a brutal 0-2 map differential.
