One LEC team has already punched their ticket to the second stage of the 2023 Winter Split

Vitality are the first League of Legends team to lock in their spot in the second stage of the 2023 LEC Winter Split after demolishing G2 Esports in their much-anticipated match today. Clean team play and great individual performances resulted in a convincing execution of Vitality’s game sttegy, leading the hive to their fifth win this split. 

The two teams came into the second week of the competition undefeated, but their dominance was brought to an end by SK Gaming, who elevated the stakes of the match between G2 and Vitality by defeating both squads this weekend. But from the start of the game today, it was Vitality who controlled the Rift, imposing their will in-game thanks to Bo’s ganks and, later in the game, Neon and Perkz’s heavy damage during teamfights. G2’s efforts closing the gap between them and Vitality only resulted in a longer-than-anticipated closure of the match, which came just before the 40-minute mark.
