G2 snap Excel’s successful streak and prolong their very own LEC successful streak with 16 off an MVP recreation from Caps’s Ahri and clutch Dragon steals from Jankos.
Properly, one among these groups needed to lose their undefeated streak…
Drawback is, Excel win streak was two – G2’s LEC win streak was fifteen coming into this recreation.
And it confirmed, with the reigning champions dismantling the Excel upstarts from begin to end, high to backside, and every other directional benefit you need to embody.
Excel’s Ezreal reply into G2’s first choose Lucian didn’t do them too many favors, particularly when pairing it up with a supportive mid laner like Twisted Destiny. They undoubtedly nonetheless may have compelled much more appears to be like bot than they did, if Nukeduck hadn’t had his fingers full with Caps within the mid lane.
Caps and Jankos proceed their spree of dominance since returning again dwelling; between Caps’s pickoffs together with his now-signature Ahri and Jankos’s two ridiculous Dragon steals, it took me fairly a little bit of deliberation to resolve who to offer MVP to this recreation.
These are some first world issues if I do say so myself.
I nonetheless have a variety of hopes for Excel. With the meta of their favor and extra time to gel with Mikyx and type a powerful crew id, they’re trying poised to make playoffs once more this cut up and probably do some critical harm.
Often we see MSI groups have a gradual begin to the summer time cut up. G2 themselves have been very outspoken about how useful a break is post-MSI, and the way it can repay dividends throughout the ever-important time of Worlds Playoffs.
Properly Europe should be actually dangerous proper now as a result of G2’s final sixteen video games within the LEC have all been victories, going again to their playoffs run. MSI solely appears to have nailed of their teamplay fundamentals, as a result of they’re trying simply as composed and poised as they did throughout their playoffs run, even with the fatigue they need to be beneath.
Folks would do effectively to keep in mind that G2’s championship run final cut up was that of a darkish horse, particularly with hyped groups like Fnatic, Vitality, and Rogue within the fold. However as of proper now, they’re trying like the perfect crew in Europe.
By far.
MVP: Caps (2)
