Fnatic’s Hylissang Brings Out Pyke Support to Defeat G2 Esports
In today’s match, Fnatic’s veteran leader and support Hylissang brought back his patented Pyke support to help his team secure a victory against their eternal rivals G2 Esports. The match marked the end of the sixth week of the 2022 LEC Spring Split.
Fnatic Seeks Redemption After Upset by Astralis
After suffering an unexpected defeat at the hands of Astralis, who currently hold the last place in the league, Fnatic aimed for redemption. They were outdrafted in the previous match and needed to regain their composure and return to the win column.
Engage Composition Gives Fnatic the Upper Hand
Fnatic drafted a heavy engage composition, with Hylissang’s Pyke as a key pick. Camille and Diana spearheaded the offense, while Twisted Fate provided global pressure and Jinx served as late-game insurance. G2, on the other hand, had a more balanced teamfighting lineup but struggled to stop Fnatic’s aggressive plays.
Finding Success with Proactive Plays
Fnatic demonstrated superior proactivity throughout the match. Whether it was Hylissang catching opponents off-guard, Razork utilizing Diana’s ultimate, or Humanoid stunning enemies with Twisted Fate’s card, Fnatic consistently gained an advantage. Their early momentum carried forward, leaving G2 unable to mount a comeback.
The Legacy Rivalry Between G2 and Fnatic
The rivalry between G2 and Fnatic has evolved over the years, with key players like Rekkles and Perkz leaving their respective teams. However, the intensity and passion between these legacy organizations remains strong, even with the addition of new players. Wunder, for instance, expressed his investment in the G2-Fnatic rivalry, citing his desire to win against his former team and teammates.
Close Competition in the European League
The competition in the European League remains tight, with multiple teams closely positioned in the standings. Fnatic now shares second place with Misfits Gaming, while G2 sits one game behind at an 8-5 record following consecutive losses over the weekend.
Maintaining Pace to Stay Ahead
With teams like Excel Esports, Team Vitality, and MAD Lions on their heels, both Fnatic and G2 can’t afford to become complacent. They must maintain their current pace to avoid being caught by the chasing pack. Stay tuned for week seven of the 2022 LEC Spring Split on Friday, Feb. 25.
