Fnatic vs G2 Esports: G2 Playoff Mode activated
New Classic in LEC between Fnatic and G2 Esports. With G2 coming off an average regular season (in G2 standards), we had little hope of seeing a close matchup between the two historic LEC structures.
For this first match draft, Fnatic opts for bot aggression with Ashe/Rumble. Opposite, Caps ejects Aurelian Soul.
The first 20 minutes of the match were bloody between the two teams, with a lot of fighting all over the map. Yike is in great shape and his ganks are deadly for Fnatic. In this bloodbath, it is G2 that comes out on top. The reigning champions are slowly slipping away (Through better farming, but a bit more killing). In the midgame, a team fight continues between the two teams. So this is the right terrain BrokenBlade’s Renekton makes the difference. The G2 is more in place, they get to objectives/collision sites faster and in greater numbers. The match goes away and after the first nashor, G2 wins easily in 26 minutes. Caps’ Aurelian Sol and BB’s Renekton were the main architects of the G2 victory in this match.
Some advice if you are Fnatic fans, don’t watch game 2. Another encounter between the two teams turns into a lesson. Razork doesn’t seem to be in the game, and all of Fnatic is collapsing. The match quickly turns into a correction. Fnatic is in no position to defend their midlane. G2s do not hesitate and Use the Herald to run towards the opposing alliance. In 21 minutes of play, G2 ended this Clasico with humiliation.
The G2 Upper Bracket qualifies to the finals And will face BDS like Winter Split. for its part, Fnatic awaits their opponent in the lower bracket (winner of SK against Heretics).
