G2 Esports dominated Fnatic in another LEC final
Both squads opted for familiar champion selections in the opening match, with the exception of G2 jungler Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski experimenting with Shen in the jungle role—a pick recently popularized by Mingyi “Spica” Lu in North America’s LCS. Fnatic opened strong with an early bottom lane elimination, but G2 quickly accelerated their tempo. Jankos exerted map-wide pressure, systematically accumulating eliminations that enabled mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther to dominate on LeBlanc.
After Caps’ impressive display, Fnatic’s Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek attempted to counter with a mid-lane Corki performance, securing three quick kills within the first ten minutes to position his team for series equalization. However, G2 consistently responded to Fnatic’s aggressive maneuvers, and as witnessed in previous encounters, Fnatic faltered during critical moments, allowing G2 to reach match point.
While reverse sweeps remain uncommon at this competitive tier, Fnatic faced the daunting challenge. Their bot lane combination of Caitlyn and Bard relied on Martin “Rekkles” Larsson and Zdravets “Hylissang” Galabov to establish early advantages, but G2 maintained their disciplined approach. Fnatic managed reasonable early and mid-game phases, yet G2 again demonstrated superior late-game coordination with Caps and Jankos delivering exceptional performances. Despite Fnatic’s persistent resistance, a clever backdoor maneuver from Caps concluded the series with G2’s clean sweep victory.
G2 Esports secures LEC first seed at LoL Worlds 2020
Claiming the LEC championship automatically grants G2 Europe’s premier seeding for the 2020 League of Legends World Championship. This advantageous positioning replicates their successful 2019 campaign where they reached the grand finals before falling to FunPlus Phoenix.
While G2 hasn’t displayed the same dominant form throughout this season compared to last year, they’ve consistently demonstrated clutch performance capabilities when championships are on the line. This resilience becomes crucial for Worlds 2020 where elite opponents including Top Esports and DAMWON Gaming await competition.
The global tournament commences on September 25 with play-in matches, while G2 enters directly into the main event starting October 3.
