Preview of the LEC 2020 Summer Finals: Clash of Dominant Forces

Fierce Battle Between Fnatic and G2 Esports in LEC Finals

The highly anticipated LEC finals will once again feature a showdown between the powerhouses Fnatic and G2 Esports. Both teams had a lackluster performance in the regular split, raising doubts about their dominance in the league. However, they managed to secure their spots in the finals after overcoming tough challenges from other teams.

Historically, G2 Esports has always had the upper hand when facing Fnatic in finals. Fnatic had not won a best-of-five series against G2 in over 800 days. But this season, Fnatic finally broke the curse and emerged victorious in one of the playoffs matches. With the mental edge of G2 diminished, the playing field is leveled for these two fierce rivals.

Fnatic’s Playoffs Buff

Fnatic’s performance in the Summer Split has been a rollercoaster ride. They showed dominance in some games but struggled with synergy issues in others. However, once they reached the playoffs, a transformation occurred. Jungler Selfmade stepped up with creative jungle picks, and Nemesis played aggressive laners to secure leads for their team. Although they still have occasional weaknesses, Fnatic’s success lies in playing as a united front, especially in a meta where Dragon Soul is crucial.

G2’s Mental Fortitude and Strong Lineup

G2 Esports, known for their dominant gameplay, will face the LEC finals at a slight disadvantage. The fatigue from best-of-five series can affect their mental strength. Nevertheless, G2’s lineup is formidable, with Caps performing exceptionally well in the mid lane and Jankos supporting the team’s strong solo laners. Caps’ champion picks are crucial for their success, and with Mikyx’s roaming support and a utility ADC for Perkz, G2 is in their comfort zone.

The Key Matchup and Drafting Battle

The outcome of this series will heavily depend on the drafting phase. Fnatic and G2 have contrasting playstyles, and executing their strategies is essential for victory. G2’s win condition lies in early success, and if they fail to secure it, they will face Fnatic’s scaling picks. Champions like LeBlanc, Evelynn, and Ashe will play a significant role in the series, and the drafting battle will revolve around securing these key picks.

The LEC finals between Fnatic and G2 Esports promise to be an intense and compelling event. Fans can expect a fiercely competitive matchup from these two teams, each fighting for different reasons but with the same pride for the European region.
