Vitality Secures First Victory of LEC Summer Split
Vitality achieved a remarkable victory in their first match of the 2020 LEC Summer Split against Schalke04. The game lasted 46 minutes.
The revamped roster of Vitality displayed great synergy, with ADC Markos “Comp” Stamkopoulos leading the team on Ezreal.
Vitality’s Triumph and Social Media Buzz
The victory received praise on social media, with Team Vitality posting about their great start to the split.
The game remained evenly matched, as both teams contested objectives across the map. The critical moment came when the dragon count reached three for each team. The upcoming dragon would grant the Ocean Dragon Soul, making it a high priority objective.
In the Dragon Soul fight, Vitality emerged victorious, securing the objective and wiping out Schalke04’s players. Comp’s Ezreal showcased dominant teamfight performance, especially with the assistance of rookie Labros “labrov” Papoutsakis on Yuumi. Labrov’s positioning and mechanical skill shut down Schalke04’s attempts to win teamfights.
With their third Baron secured, Vitality pushed into Schalke04’s base to end the game and claim their first victory of the split.
Redemption Arc for Vitality
Vitality underwent significant roster changes during the offseason, replacing their jungler, mid laner, and support from the previous season. This victory marks a promising start for the team as they aim to make a comeback after finishing in 10th place in the LEC Spring Split.
Although Schalke04 didn’t fare much better than Vitality in the Spring Split standings, they put up a good fight and were considered the favorites heading into the game due to their performance towards the end of the split. Vitality’s performance suggests that they might be embarking on a redemption arc if they can continue producing such strong performances.
