We've seen plenty of non-traditional strategies in pro play, and especially from Cloud9, who have locked in a brand new pair of champions, Lux and Sona. Get an in-depth look at the strategy here:
TSM won its ninth game of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series Summer Split against Counter Logic Gaming, and in doing so, joined Cloud9 and Team Liquid in post-season qualification. The gold lead swapped between TSM and CLG more than a couple of times, but when the dust settled, TSM remained standing and clinched a position in the 2020 LCS Summer Playoffs.
Jensen has had a fairly long, storied career, coming to the League Championship Series as Cloud9's starting Mid Laner in 2015. In his LCS debut, he beat rival org, TSM, despite trailing behind Bjergsen throughout the game, leaving him with a criticism that he could not keep up with the league's best, one he wouldn't shake for many years. Read his thoughts on his career and perception here:

We conducted two different interviews with Invert based on Dignitas' off-season changes, mindset, and Summer goals. Check out what Dignitas has been doing this Split, how they operate and function as a ten man unit, and what their hope is for the team by Playoffs here:
