Schalke shocks Fnatic, fueling hopes for 2020 LEC Summer Split playoffs

Schalke 04’s Victory Proves European League of Legends Competitive Nature

In what many fans and analysts consider to be one of the most competitive seasons of European League of Legends yet, Schalke 04’s victory against Fnatic in the last week of the 2020 LEC Summer Split continues to reinforce that point.

Schalke’s Stellar Performance

Every player on Schalke showcased outstanding skills in today’s match. Gilius, also known as Godgilius, made numerous excellent picks on Sejuani, while Abbedagge and Neon secured 15 kills between them on Azir and Ezreal, respectively.

Disappointment for Fnatic

On the other hand, Fnatic fans are growing increasingly concerned. This loss marked a demoralizing defeat for the perennial LEC champions, as they struggled to gain a foothold in the game.

Several players, such as Bwipo and Hylissang, were caught overextending, and the team faced difficulties in navigating skirmishes successfully. With only two turrets compared to Schalke’s eight and disorganized macro play, Fnatic’s chances of making the playoffs have significantly decreased.

Crucial Matches Ahead

With a 7-9 record, Fnatic finds themselves tied for sixth place with Team Vitality—both on the cusp of elimination. Fnatic must secure victories against Excel Esports and SK Gaming, particularly with other lower-ranked teams causing upsets against higher-ranked rosters.

Meanwhile, Schalke’s triumph positions them on the path to the playoffs, with upcoming matches against Vitality and MAD Lions once again testing their potential.
