Ten weeks of intense competition lead to highly anticipated EU LCS Summer Split finals
G2 Esports, the dominant force in European League of Legends, is set to face off against Misfits in the Summer Split finals on September 3rd in Paris, France.
Both teams have already secured spots at the World Championships in China, but the title of EU LCS champion and the coveted number one seed for Europe are still up for grabs.
Favorites G2 Esports look to continue their dominance, but Misfits pose a threat
G2 Esports is the favorite to win the finals, having remained undefeated in best-of-five series for the past two years. They have looked strong in recent victories against H2K Gaming and Splyce.
Misfits, however, should not be underestimated. They have proven themselves by defeating two of the top teams in Europe and are looking to replicate the success of Splyce in their debut year.
The question remains: Can Misfits upset the odds and become the fourth team to win the EU LCS title, or will G2 continue their dominance and secure their fourth consecutive win?
Key matchup: PowerOfEvil vs. PerkZ
Misfits’ mid laner, Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage, has a chance to seek revenge against his former team, G2 Esports. PowerOfEvil, who nearly reached Worlds last year with Origen, is now looking to secure his first EU LCS title by defeating his former teammates.
The battle between PowerOfEvil and G2 mid laner Luka “PerkZ” Perković will be crucial. The player who gains an early advantage will have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
Can Misfits overcome the odds?
It will be a tough challenge for Misfits to defeat G2 Esports. While both teams have exchanged victories in the regular season, G2 emerged as the winner in their most recent encounter.
Misfits have already upset some of the best teams in Europe. Can they continue their streak and achieve a hat-trick of upsets against G2?
