Countdown to LEC 2019 Spring Split Playoffs
The LEC 2019 Spring Split is almost over, but the race for the playoffs is still on. Teams are fighting for their chance to compete in Rotterdam this April, and every game matters. Let’s take a look at the teams vying for the remaining playoff spots.
Four teams have already secured their spot in the playoffs: G2 Esports, Origen, Splyce, and Team Vitality. However, there are still two spots up for grabs, and four teams are in the running.
Possible Playoff Scenarios
Now, let’s explore the possible scenarios for the upcoming weekend and how they will impact the LEC playoffs this split. In case of ties, teams will be ranked based on their head-to-head record or through tiebreaker games.
One team with a good shot at making the playoffs is Fnatic, with a record of 9-7. According to Riot Games, Fnatic has a 93.8% chance of finishing in the top six. However, they need to avoid tying with SK Gaming for sixth place, as SK Gaming holds a 2-0 record against Fnatic, which would result in Fnatic being eliminated from playoff contention.
The teams to keep an eye on are Schalke 04, SK Gaming, and Misfits Gaming. Schalke 04 is in a strong position to advance, as Misfits will need to win two tough matches against Splyce and G2 Esports to catch up. Additionally, Schalke 04 will have to lose both of their games this week, including one against Rogue.
SK Gaming has a better chance than Misfits because they can force a tiebreaker game with Schalke 04 simply by matching their number of wins. All in all, Fnatic is likely to make playoffs, Schalke 04 has a great chance, SK Gaming is hopeful, and Misfits are relying on a miracle.
In Conclusion
The race for the LEC 2019 Spring Split playoffs is heating up, and every game will determine which teams make it to Rotterdam. Stay tuned for an action-packed weekend of esports.
