Reigning European LoL champions G2 Esports will have a chance to defend their title in the grand finals of the LEC winter season if they defeat Team BDS in the winner's bracket final.
The two teams that performed best during the group stage of the championship, in which they achieved an equally good 7-2 performance, also played excellently at the start of the playoffs, which is why their meeting was inevitable. BDS will have the opportunity to avenge G2's defeat in the group stage and become the first participant in the grand final, while it is up to G2 to continue with their now standard improvement in form for the playoffs and continue to be an insoluble enigma for their European rivals.
Team BDS continued with good games in the LEC and without losing a game they advanced to the third round of the winner's bracket. They first defeated Team Heretics, who could not match them despite their experience, and then they were better than Vitality, who previously surprised with a good game against SK Gaming and recovered well from a 0-3 start to the season.
G2 opened the playoffs with a 2-0 win against GIANTX, and then they celebrated in a big derby against Fnatic. The teams traded wins in the first two games, and the decisive third was marked by a Broken Blade on Zac, a hero that Fnatic had no solution for.
Fnatic will have a make-up test in the loser's bracket, where they will play against the better team from the match Team Heretics - SK Gaming, while Vitality will play with the team that triumphs in the duel between GIANTX and MAD Lions.
