League of Legends sides 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses took the two top spots in the group stage of this year's LCS Lock In with victories in their final assignments on Friday.

In the LEC Spring, meanwhile, Team Vitality can be backed at 8/11 to beat G2 Esports, who are 1/1 to win.

Evil Geniuses go on winning run

While 100 Thieves finished top of Group A with a 3-1 win-loss record, Evil Geniuses went unbeaten with a 4-0 record in Group B.

The Thieves secured their spot with a win in their final match over Cloud9, who also had a 3-1 record.

Cloud9 put up a fight but the Thieves came together and were boosted by a top performance from jungler Can "Closer" Çelik, who finished with five kills, eight assists and no deaths.

They wrapped up the win in 30 minutes while Evil Geniuses took four minutes less to defeat Dignitas in their last group fixture, overpowering the front line of their opponents and also seeing a strong performance from their jungler Kacper "Inspired" Sloma.
