Rogue end the regular LEC split on a good note with win over Fnatic

Rogue delivered a commanding performance in the final match of the 2021 LEC Spring regular split, decisively defeating Fnatic and eliminating them from top four contention.

Entering this crucial matchup, Rogue’s playoff positioning was already secured after G2 Esports clinched first place by defeating SK Gaming. This G2 victory guaranteed Rogue’s second-place finish, reducing their immediate stakes to maintaining competitive momentum and team honor. Conversely, Fnatic faced critical playoff implications, needing a victory to secure fourth place in the regular split standings. The match represented Fnatic’s final opportunity to salvage what would otherwise become a disastrous 0-3 weekend before postseason play commenced.

The draft phase immediately revealed Rogue’s strategic approach, emphasizing their signature scaling composition while introducing an unconventional bot lane twist with support Adrian “Trymbi” Trybus selecting Cho’Gath. Fnatic’s strategy centered on establishing lane dominance to accelerate an early game advantage. Throughout the week, Fnatic had struggled to execute this aggressive playstyle effectively, while challenging Rogue in extended late-game scenarios typically proves disadvantageous.

Despite Fnatic’s critical need to establish early laning phase control, they failed to achieve this objective. Within merely four minutes, Rogue successfully countered a bot lane dive attempt, immediately placing Fnatic in a precarious defensive position.

Following the botched dive execution, Fnatic grew increasingly desperate to generate offensive plays and recover momentum. Despite multiple attempts to secure eliminations, Fnatic’s execution remained flawed while Rogue consistently capitalized on these mistakes. By the 13-minute mark, Rogue established a commanding 4,000 gold advantage following an exceptional play from top laner Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu on Gnar.

Odoamne’s pivotal engagement appeared to seal the match outcome for Rogue. Fnatic suddenly found themselves requiring near-miraculous circumstances to mount a comeback, which never materialized. Although Fnatic continued fighting until the end, Rogue’s accumulated advantages proved insurmountable.

Rogue concluded the match after 32 minutes with a decisive victory to complete their regular split campaign. The team advances to playoffs through the upper bracket, demonstrating legitimate championship contention credentials. For Fnatic, the loss consigned them to their first finish outside the top four since 2016.

The 2021 LEC Spring Split playoffs kick off on March 26.
