LEC 2020 Summer Playoffs – G2 Esports Rise

LoL

7 Sep 2020

Overall, out of all the regions, the LEC 2020 Summer Playoffs had the highest stakes. Indeed, placing three direct qualification spots for Worlds 2020 and a Play-In spot is incredible. The dust has finally settled on the event and G2 Esports have come out on top – here’s a short recap.

Running from 21st August to 6th September, an additional prize of €200,000 was on the line too. Accordingly, only the top 6 from the regular season qualified to participate:

  • Rogue – 1
  • MAD Lions – 2
  • G2 Esports – 3
  • Fnatic – 4
  • SK Gaming – 5
  • FC Schalke 04 – 6

Solely based on seeds, the LEC 2020 Summer Playoffs would not go to plan as seen in the LCS event.

Indeed, the first surprise came with Fnatic smacking Rogue into the Losers’ Bracket. On the other side, G2 Esports kept their footing against MAD Lions only to lose to Fnatic in the next round.

Beaten but not defeated, G2 Esports rallied themselves for two incredible series. Following a monstrous victory over Rogue in 3-2 fashion, they carried their momentum in a rematch against Fnatic where they swept them in cold revenge.

Just like that, G2 Esports claims their eighth European title and the first seed into Worlds 2020. Fnatic and Rogue have also qualified while MAD Lions will have to fight in the Play-In.
