As we approach one of the final playoff matches in the North American League Championship Series before the league turns to a franchising model, the stakes are high for both Team Dignitas and Counter Logic Gaming. Each will compete for bragging rights as well as a first-round bye in the 2017 Regional Qualifiers for the World Championships. With both teams fresh off disappointing losses in their semifinal matches, each will need to make improvements (some more drastic than others) in order to pose a threat to the other in Saturday's third-place series.
Counter Logic Gaming appears to be the underdog after putting together a dreadful semifinal performance against Immortals.
