Team Vitality eliminated from LEC Summer Split 2023

The emotions of the LEC Summer Split 2023 regular season are ending, and the teams are just one game away from knowing their future in the tournament. Those who finish in the top eight of the table remain alive and qualify for the Group Stage. Meanwhile, those who finish in the last two places, one of them Team Vitality, will be eliminated from the tournament.

Undoubtedly, it has been a disappointing Split for Team Vitality, as the team is coming from a great 2023 season so far. With their loss on the eighth day of the Summer Split regular season against Team BDS, Team Vitality confirmed their exit from the tournament. Finally, the team with star players like Luka “Perkz” Perković and Elias “Upset” Lipp in its ranks could not save the furniture this summer season.

Similarly, it’s worth remembering that Team Vitality was one of the contenders to win the LEC Spring and Summer Split 2023, so it’s a noticeable drop in performance.

Let’s see what happened on the eighth day of the LEC Summer Split 2023 regular season.

EXCEL and MAD Lions seal their ticket to the Group Stage

It’s not all bad news in the LEC regular season, as EXCEL and MAD Lions managed to qualify for the Group Stage of the tournament after the completion of Day 8 of the summer season.

Spring Split champions MAD Lions could not defeat SK Gaming in the last match. However, after accumulating four victories in the first five games played and eliminating Vitality, the Spanish squad manages to qualify for the next phase of the tournament.

On the other hand, EXCEL completes its excellent comeback by qualifying for the Group Stage for the first time in the 2023 season. Let’s remember that EXCEL was, by far, the worst team in the LEC so far. However, their excellent awakening in this Summer Split and the last resounding victory against Astralis granted them their qualification to the Group Stage.

G2 Esports and Fnatic secure the TOP 2 in the regular season

A new day in the Summer Split and a new victory for G2 Esports and Fnatic, it seems that we are living in the times of yesteryear, where both teams completely dominated the scene. As a result of the excellent winning streak, the two most popular and iconic organizations of the LEC secured the TOP 2 of the leaderboard.

However, this does not mean everything is set, as the team that will occupy the top spot in the overall regular season standings has yet to be determined. While it is true that both teams have a 7-1 record, G2 Esports has a slight advantage simply by winning the match between these two teams. As a result, a win for G2 in Round 9 automatically gives them first place in the standings.

Finally, the LEC will decide the last eliminated team and the last 3 qualifiers on the last day of the tournament. As happened in the Spring Split, it is not ruled out that there will be a playoff game, so all the focus is on the games of Astralis, KOI, SK Gaming, and Team BDS, who have an identical 3-5 record.
