The team standings at the end of the Summer regular season clearly had an effect on the All-Pro voting. After Team Liquid, Cloud9 and FlyQuest finished the season in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, the final All-Pro Teams are a clear reflection of these standings, with only the teams' junglers swapping places.
Despite Cloud9 fielding a star-studded roster, all of which finished in 2nd or 1st All-Pro Teams, the team has tragically failed to live up to expectations after failing to qualify for Worlds 2024.
And yet, the biggest story of these awards is, without a doubt, Impact winning MVP. The South Korean player is only the second top laner to win the biggest individual award in the LCS after Summit won MVP during the 2022 LCS Spring Season.
As if that was not enough, however, Impact caps off his incredible season by becoming the oldest player in a major region to win an MVP award at 29 years old.
Having won the League of Legends World Championship in 2013, Impact is, as it turns out, simply timeless.
