G2 Esports and Fnatic qualify for LEC Summer Split 2023 Group Stage

The second week of the LEC Summer Split regular season is history, and G2 Esports and Fnatic performed almost perfectly to qualify for the next Group Stage of the tournament.

There is no doubt that on the part of G2 Esports, it was to be expected, as it is a team that has shown all its gallantry and high level throughout 2023. However, on the part of Fnatic, despite being a very popular team in the scene, it is quite a surprise, as their season so far has been disappointing, and no one expected this dramatic increase in level.

Moreover, it seems that we are going back to the old days. Let’s remember that, throughout the history of the LEC, G2, and Fnatic have always been in the fight for the championships. Finally, both teams sealed their ticket to the Group Stage of this summer season after an excellent 5-1 record in these first two weeks of the tournament.

Let’s see what happened on the sixth day of the LEC Summer Split 2023.

Fnatic and G2 Esports close week 2 of the Summer Split with a 3-0 record

The winningest squads in the history of the LEC, Fnatic and G2, closed this second week, completely dominating the tournament. After their third victory last Monday, both teams qualified for the Group Stage of the Summer Split.

G2 Esports defeated Astralis in the third match of the sixth day of the regular season in 27:42 minutes. Meanwhile, Fnatic dealt a new blow to Team Vitality, which showed more weaknesses in their game.

In addition to demonstrating their high level in these six days played, both G2 and Fnatic are the first teams to seal their ticket to the next phase. Moreover, we know which teams will be the favorites to lift the Summer Split champions trophy. However, as has happened so far, everything can change in the following phases, so we must wait for the development.

MAD Lions lose again, and EXCEL Esports win for the third time in a row

We must highlight two big surprises after the second week of the LEC Summer Split 2023. First, we cannot overlook the new defeat of MAD Lions against EXCEL Esports, which forces them to give up the top of the table and delay the qualification to the Group Stage.

MAD Lions and EXCEL had different setbacks in this game, and the Spanish squad could not take advantage of them to win. Meanwhile, EXCEL closed a perfect week 2, as they won their third game in a row and had Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu as the main scorer.

On the other hand, the other Spanish squad, Team Heretics, managed to close this second week with a victory to take a regular note on this sixth day. Also, the Spaniards managed to crush Team BDS by the hand of Victor “Flakked” Lirola, who continues to demonstrate his great level in his return to the LEC. As a result, MAD Lions and Team Heretics are in second place, just one win away from securing their place in the Group Stage.

Finally, two of the worst teams in this Summer Split, KOI and SK Gaming, faced each other this Monday, and the match was settled with a victory for SK. However, it is worth noting that the Spanish squad had the victory in their hands for several minutes, but a lot of mistakes led to the comeback by SK.

As a result, Team Vitality and KOI have a 1-5 record and are hoping for a near miracle to qualify for the Group Stage.
