Welcome back to a brand new episode of The Dive Driven by Kia!

The crew kicks off the episode with a discussion on whether scrims remakes should be allowed and their historical impact on international performance. We had some ridiculous matches this past week, including what was nearly the biggest upset in NA history from Disguised. Plus, Inspired's blind pick Tryndamere jungle against Shopify Rebellion. RIP solo queue.

Lastly, the team breaks down the match previews for this weekend - who do you have winning?
