After a swift six weeks of a tournament-reminiscent competition, G2 Esports just won the first-ever LEC Winter Split over MAD Lions. In addition to claiming their 10th domestic League of Legends championship, G2 have set themselves up for international success, punching their ticket to the Mid-Season Invitational.
While we’re still a ways out from talking about the World Championship, G2 has begun to lay the foundation for a run toward the Summoner’s Cup here in February. The format changes to the LEC make international qualification more complex, and in Europe, an earlier start to the season means postseason implications start to mp up earlier too.
