]]>This best-of-five series marked their first international encounter since MSI 2019, where G2 emerged victorious.
EMEA fans were eager for a repeat performance, but T1 had other plans.
The series kicked off with T1 taking the first game, despite an impressive solo kill from G2’s mid-laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther on Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok.
However, G2 swiftly retaliated in game two, displaying strategic prowess to level the score.
With a dominant performance in game three, G2 reached match point, showcasing their ability to outmanoeuvre the reigning world champions.
But T1 fought back in game four, capitalizing on G2’s mistakes to force a decisive fifth game.
Throughout the series, both teams brought out unconventional champion picks, including signature choices like Kog’Maw, Vel’Koz, and Yasuo.
However, it was in game five where the true mastery of both teams was on display.
The game remained intensely close, with neither side gaining a clear advantage even after 30 minutes of play.
Every move became crucial, with a single teamfight potentially deciding the series.
While G2 secured individual kills, T1’s superior poke damage and Baron buff allowed them to apply relentless pressure, gradually securing double inhibitors.
In the final decisive fight, T1 picked off G2 one by one, clinching the series victory in a swift and decisive move.

With this loss, G2 now finds themselves in the lower bracket, where they’ll face PSG Talon, while T1 advances to face off against the LPL’s first seed.

The clash between G2 and T1 was not only a showdown between East and West but also a rematch with historical significance, dating back to their legendary encounter at MSI 2019.
Despite G2’s valiant effort, T1 proved to be a formidable opponent, showcasing their resilience and adaptability throughout the series.

]]>G2 began their LEC Summer campaign as the favourite with most esports betting sites.
After finishing the regular season with an 8-1 record, G2 went into the playoffs as overwhelming favourites to clinch the title.
During the playoffs, G2 only faced one team, as they went up against Excel Esports in the upper-bracket final – defeating them 3-2 – before clashing with them once again in the grand final.
G2 dominated every aspect of the decider, with Martin “Yike” Sundelin recording an unbelievable stat line of 15 kills, one death and 45 assists for the series, while he compiled a massive 60 KDA.
Unsurprisingly, Yike earned the LEC Summer Finals MVP award after his dominant performance, adding to the two LEC titles he had already won since joining G2 in December of last year.
G2 mid-laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther won his ninth LEC trophy, which puts him ahead of his ex-teammate Luka “Perkz” Perkovic for most titles won in Europe’s top LoL competition.
Even though G2 won both the LEC Winter and Summer splits, they are yet to qualify for the 2023 LoL World Championship.
Unlike other top regional leagues, where teams earn qualification through their summer performances, G2 will have to finish in the top three at the LEC Season Finals to book their spot at Worlds in South Korea.
However, it is very likely that the Caps and his teammates will qualify for Worlds, as they are marked as $1.50 favourites with most bookmakers to take out the LEC Season Finals title in late August.
