The inaugul LEC Winter Split concluded on Feb. 26 with G2 Esports defeating MAD Lions in the gnd finals. G2’s stellar performance on the Summoner’s Rift was a treat to watch, but not everything on the stage looked as pleasing. Many League of Legends fans were put off by the design of the new LEC Winter Split trophy.
The trophy is a five-pointed shield with the LEC logo in the middle and wave-like motifs on the sides. The middle part of the shield is ised slightly, making it resemble a pentagonal pymid. While the design is not outright bad or ugly, it pales in comparison to the original LEC trophy.
