In this special episode of The Dive, Kobe & Mark welcome for the first time LPL caster Dagda to give us his thoughts on Play-Ins & the upcoming Group Stage. If things look odd, it's because our fantastic tech team ships necessary equipment to New York City & we had to step away from our usual cameras for The Dive. For those of you wondering about Divephoria, that's next week! (When the Euphoria folk land in NYC) We went forward with this format because it just seemed weird to not do SOMETHING ahead of the Groups Stage. The Trio reviews the highs of the Play-In Stage, take some time huff hopium all thanks to Champions Queue & made predictions heading into the Group Stage. Where will we find the upsets? What teams are worthy of the hopium? What teams are overrated?If you like Dagda's comfy poncho, check it out at merch.riotgames.com to pick up one of your own. Anecdotally, our producer is def getting one it's perfect for being a degen gamer BUT FASHION. We'll be returning with Divephoria episodes from NYC to ATL to San Fran!

Hey Dive Fans! Welcome to another Playoff edition of The Dive where Kobe, Mark & Azael wanted to get the episode to you early since games are starting tomorrow at 1PM! We dive (get it?) into the matchups from this weekend and ask, Can GG actually do a miracle run? Did CLG throw more than they got outplayed? and is there a Team Liquid Honda hate train going on? Thank you for the positive response from The Diveys, we got some great alternative suggestions for Funnies play of the year & we straight up whiffed on missing the Taliyah Wall. We also took a few of your twitter questions ahead of the big match ups this weekend. To get your questions on the show use #TheDiveLol on twitter and if you send them on Anchor.FM, include your name in the audio! We'll be taking more questions in next week's episode that will be coming out earlier than normal to accommodate a 4 day week of bo5s. Playoffs continue with a game on THURSDAY, that's right, THURSDAY at 1:00PM where TSM faces FlyQuest. With the 3 other matchups taking place at 1PM every day throughout the rest of the week. See you there!

On top of the Diveys, the trio got through their difficulties with All Pro Voting. What Role do you think is the most difficult? Can you guess which one had the most contention? We also ran through the Dive Power Rankings which had CLG & Dignitas causing an especially large amount of mayhem. We couldn't get to questions this week, but a reminder that if you tweet them, use #TheDiveLol and if you send them on Anchor.FM, include your name in the audio!

Hello Dive Constituents... I'm pretty sure I didn't use that word right, but it FEELS right, ya know? This week it's Azael, Mark & Kobe taking a look at the landscape of the LCS ahead of the END OF THE REGULAR SEASON. That's right, this is the last week of the regular split and it's a ding dang Super Week. Before the went through the games, the trio looked at the Top LCS Mids of All Time & wondered if Pobelter really gets the credit he deserves or does recency bias color his legacy? We also answered some of your twitter questions including what they thought about Live Comm listen ins & what was their favorite season of League EVER. After a look at new Udyr & a quick patch discussion, they cover the BREAKING NEWS that came through DURING THE DIVE, where Golden Guardians let go of their general manager & speculated how that might impact the starting rosters going into the final superweek. When it came to the top teams, there was also hefty debate on whether 100 Thieves are getting the credit they deserve. Are the narratives unjustly painting them as a boring team? Is CLG's depiction of a team that can "lose to anyone" fair? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you to those who sent in questions. A reminder that if you tweet them, use #TheDiveLol and if you send them on Anchor.FM, include your name in the audio! We couldn't get to the audio question this week because we started late, but I'll make sure to throw them in next week. Which reminds me, next week The Dive is hosting their END OF SPLIT AWARDS Ceremony! What awards would you like to see? I'm gunning for spiciest tweet and assuming all 4 nominations will be Vulcan. Superweek is upon us! Tune in Friday where Dignitas challenge Team Liquid Honda at 2:30PM PDT. In the words of Azael, it's gonna be a banger!
