League of Legends Secondary Pro League team Suning Gaming have joined the League of Legends Pro League by finishing 3-0 in the grand final of the LSPL against Young Miracles.

Young Miracles were undefeated for most of the regular season, but they lost their final best of three series to Suning Gaming prior to playoffs. In the first round of playoffs, YM 3-0’d Royal Club, but Suning Gaming had a difficult series against DAN Gaming to qualify for the final. When they reached the final series, however, Suning’s commanding control of side lane trades allowed them to 3-0 Young Miracles to qualify for the LPL.

This is the fifth best of five in a row that could have allowed YM to qualify for the LPL that has ended in a loss. Suning’s jungler, Fan “Avoidless” Junwei, was previously a jungler for I May (known in LSPL as EDward Esports). When Avoidless was a member of EDward Esports, the team defeated Young Miracles 3-2 in the LSPL final to qualify for the LPL.

Suning Gaming will join the rest of LPL in 2017 LPL Summer. Young Miracles, like DAN Gaming, still have an opportunity to qualify for the LPL in the 2017 Summer Promotion tournament next week.
