After all nine rounds of the group stage of the LEC Spring Championship, eight teams continue to fight through the next stage, while Rogue and Karmine Corp have finished their participation in the current season. Fnatic continues from the first position, and three other teams achieved an identical performance - Vitality, G2 and Heretics.
Fnatic and G2 Esports fought for the first place throughout the season, and it is interesting that in the last round both teams lost, which complicated the fight for the first position. G2 lost to Vitality, who ended up with an identical 6-3 performance to the rest of the top teams, while Fnatic stumbled against MAD Lions.
This outcome of the table shows that no team has established absolute dominance in the first part of the season, and we will find out whether we will see a different picture in the play-off part in the coming weeks.
In addition to the mentioned teams, Team BDS achieved a positive performance with five wins and four losses, and MAD Lions and GIANTX took sixth and seventh place with a 4-5 result.
SK Gaming and Rogue recorded three wins each, which is why they played a tiebreaker for the eighth place that leads further, and SK Gaming celebrated in it, which means that again like in the winter championship, Karmine Corp and Rogue finished in the last two places and said goodbye from participation already in the first phase.
The playoff schedule is almost identical to the one from the spring season. SK Gaming and Vitality, i.e. Team BDS and Team Heretis, will play again at the start of the playoffs. While the only change is that now Fnatic will play against GiantX instead of G2, while G2 will play against the Lions who started their campaign to the finals last season precisely against Fnatic.
This also means that we will see the replay of the finals of the winter season already in the first round, but since the elimination system is played this time as well, the defeated team will not have to fear for survival in the season yet.
