MAD Lions Dominate the 2021 LEC Summer Finals
In an exhilarating showdown at the 2021 LEC Summer Finals, the MAD Lions emerged as the champions for the second consecutive year. Their victory marks the beginning of a new era in European esports, as they dethroned G2 Esports from their longstanding position and denied Fnatic the chance to claim the title.
The Rise of the MAD Lions
The MAD Lions have had an impressive run this year, remaining undefeated in domestic best-of-five matches and only losing to the defending World Champions DAMWON-KIA. Their journey from elimination in the 2020 Worlds play-ins to winning two consecutive LEC championships is truly inspiring.
A Thrilling Battle with Fnatic
The series between the MAD Lions and Fnatic was filled with relentless action and a fast-paced playstyle. The trio of Armut, Elyoya, and Humanoid from the MAD Lions proved to be pivotal, constantly making strategic plays across the map. Despite Fnatic’s moments of brilliance and their hyper-aggressive style, they often found themselves overextended, resulting in disadvantageous situations. Ultimately, the MAD Lions’ expertise in teamfighting secured their victory in every five vs. five engagement.
A Bittersweet Ending for Fnatic
Although Fnatic fell short of their desired outcome, they can still be proud of their performance. With a jungler role swap and a rookie top laner, the organization made it to the Finals once again. This loss should only fuel their determination as they prepare for Worlds 2021.
MAD Lions: Europe’s Top Seed for Worlds
With their victory, the MAD Lions have solidified themselves as Europe’s number one seed for Worlds. After having a challenging debut at last year’s tournament, where they faced more experienced opponents, they now return as a seasoned team ready to make their mark.
