They end the show with an in-depth review of the matches from the LCK finals, the LEC finals, and the LPL finals. Was GenG vs T1 the best LCK finals of all-time?

Teams in the West already appear to be making moves, particularly in the LCS where Cloud9 appears to be assembling a fearsome roster if the rumors are to be believed.

NRG successfully upset their European rivals in G2, leading to jubilation from North American fans, which went even further with their best possible draw of Weibo Gaming for their quarter-final match-up. The Power Spike boys are here to discuss if they have an outside shot of making the semi-finals or if there Worlds run ends after their next best-of-five. Dom, dGon, and Monte offer their eulogies to the teams eliminated at the end of the Swiss stage and debate how fraudulent G2's year was after their disappointing finish, losing three best-of-three matches in a row after a hot start.

1. While the West may be having a horrible Worlds thus far, but the shining hope of G2 keeps Europe's dreams alive as the team seems destined for a quarterfinals berth. The remainder of LEC and LCS appears doomed, but has it been uniquely bad in 2023 compared to other World Championships in League of Legends? The Power Spike guys evaluate the performances of the expected power houses after seeing them play for the first time on this patch and discuss whether JDG remains the team to beat in Seoul. Fans may like the new Swiss format, but the worst may be yet to come as we approach the 2-2 matches. It's better than the old groups format, but it could be better still.

The Play-Ins stage at the League of Legends World Championship for 2023 had concluded, with Power Spike bringing you the teams and players that impressed and disappointed us. BDS squeaks through at the last possible moment against PSG Talon, but does that mean that Taiwan and PCS' showing this tournament didn't live up to expectations? The post-COVID era seems to have lit a spark under the Vietnamese teams from the VCS with GAM's escape into the Swiss stage serving as a welcome surprise. Looking forward to the next phase of the tournament, the Power Spike boys break down their most anticipated match-ups and which will be one-sided affairs.

With the teams attending Worlds almost fully determined, the Power Spike boys discuss their expectations for this year's World Championship and the size of the gulf between the West and China/Korea. Oscarinin will have surgery on his hand, which means that Fnatic will field Wunder as a surprise substitute for the remainder of the LEC Season Finals, but is this fair to the other teams competing?
