European Teams Shine in League of Legends Quarterfinals
In a historic moment for League of Legends, three European teams have advanced to the quarterfinals of the Worlds tournament. This comes after Europe’s near miss last year in the finals against China’s Invictus Gaming.
G2 Esports and Fnatic are among the top contenders, with Splyce also making a strong showing. However, Splyce faces an uphill battle against South Korea’s SKT in the quarterfinals.
Underdog: Splyce vs. SKT
Splyce’s journey in this year’s Worlds has been impressive, but they face a tough opponent in SKT. Misfits, another European team, surprised everyone in 2017 by nearly defeating SKT in the quarterfinals. However, Splyce will need a miracle performance to overcome the Korean powerhouse.
Resurgence: Fnatic’s Challenge
Fnatic had a rough start in the group stage but showed great improvement in the second week. They now face FunPlus, a Chinese team that relies heavily on their star player Doinb. If Fnatic can neutralize Doinb’s impact, they have a good chance of victory.
Legacy: G2’s Dominance
G2 Esports has been on a winning streak this year, dominating both regional and international competitions. Their biggest challenge in the quarterfinals will be Damwon, a Korean team that has proven their worth. G2 will need to maintain consistency to secure a win.
Regardless of the outcomes, Europe’s strong showing in the quarterfinals sets the stage for an intense and exciting tournament.
