LEC ‘s week 9 decided the destiny of many teams.
While some teams failed to adapt to the online environment, most of them adapted to the online environment quite well.
SK Gaming vs Excel
Gangplank / Kindred / Le’Blanc / Varus / Rakan vs Sett / Sejuani / Corki / Ezreal / Thresh
SK Gaming turned it around towards the last week of LEC. They managed to snatch up a win against a top four team and sent them to the loser’s bracket for playoffs. The team performed really well and focused on crucial objectives to secure gold advantages. The team also managed to defeat Excel who didn’t manage to reach playoffs even though they had promising rookie talents.
Rogue vs Schalke 04
Irelia / Pantheon / Corki / Aphelios / Braum vs Jax / Sejuani / Azir / Miss Fortune / Nautilus
Schalke 04 have stomped Rogue’s chances of reaching a top 5 in the regular split. They have dumpster them this game and their post-Forg1ven score is 6-6, if they were to win more at the beginning of the season, they would have most likely reached playoffs. Odoamne carried the game away on Jax,
Origen vs MAD Lions
Gnar / Elise / Ornn / Aphelios / Nautilus vs Maokai / Lee sin / Renekton / Syndra / Sett
MAD Lions stomped Origen and locked in the 4th place going into playoffs. Shadow looks like one of the best rookies in the split. He is a runner up to Jankos, who received the Player of the Split. MAD Lions look like one of the best rookie teams in the professional League of Legends.
Fnatic vs Team Vitality
Shen / Evelyn / Graves / Jhin / Jarvan vs Sion / Gragas / Viktor / Varus / Thresh
This game did not matter at all in the standings since they were locked in and so Fnatic trolled with a role swap and unconventional picks. Vitality managed to pick their second win of the split but it doesn’t matter at all. They should look to rebuild for next season.
G2 Esports vs Misfits Gaming
Bard / Shyvana / Zed / Aatrox / Swain vs Teemo / Ornn / Le’Blanc / Quinn / Annie
As the standings were locked in, G2 decided to troll. Unlike the previous game where Vitality played seriously, Misfits Gaming decided to troll as well. G2 came out in the end and chose MAD Lions as their opponents in the playoff bracket. Fnatic will be facing Origen after the match between MAD Lions and G2 Esports.
That is all for Week 9, Day 2 coverage of LEC 2020, stay tuned for coverage of playoffs in the upcoming days.
