In the early morning of April 11, Beijing time, in the spring final of the European LEC Division, G2, who reached the final from the losers' group one through three, continued the previous fiery state, playing a 3-0 score for the fourth time, and the first place in the regular season with a strong clean sheet won the championship, representing LEC in the MSI Mid-Season Championship! This is G2's return to the top of Europe after a gap of 581 days, and it is also the ninth league title in the history of the team, the number of champions is second only to LCK 'Ten Champions' T1.
In last year's winter transfer period, G2 made major personnel adjustments: Wunder transferred to old rival FNC, G2 signed the former TSM single that participated in the S10 Global Finals - "North America's TheShy" Broken Blade, Nakano is still caPs and Jankos, newcomer AD player Flakked played for the youth training team of "Madrid Lions" MAD Lions last year, and Targamas was supported by last year's European secondary league . A member of the European Masters Spring and Summer doubles Karmine Corp, G2 finished fourth in the regular season of the LEC Spring Tournament with this lineup.
In the first round of the playoffs, G2 lost 1-3 to FNC and fell into the loser group, but unexpectedly triggered its own "loser group buff" - G2 was strong in the loser group, cleanly eliminated Perkz's VIT, "Little Bunny" MSF and successfully avenged FNC in three consecutive games 3-0, and after reaching the final, he once again took a 3-0 clean sheet "European Rogue" RGE, lifted the ninth LEC championship trophy in team history, and returned to the top of Europe after 581 days! At the same time, G2 has become the second most numerous team in the world's four major regional league champions, after LCK 'Ten Champions' T1.
Interestingly, G2 "whole life" on the spot after winning the championship, directly to T1 under the MSI "battle book": G2's "atmosphere group" staff showed the team list written on their thighs, G2's defeated VIT, MSF, FNC, RGE have been crossed out, the top is G2's next "prey" T1 ~ and T1 official blog also released the "little Lü Bu" Gumayusi's post-match GIF in the comment area of G2 official blog as a response, this wave of air interaction has also been ridiculed by netizens" Two-way rush to belong to is "~
In addition, G2 has become the fourth team in the world to lock in MSI after LCK Division T1, Turkey TCL Division IW, and Japan LJL Division DFM. "Turkish Cheetah" IW and "Japan's only illusion" DFM both participated in last year's MSI, while T1 and G2 were both absent, so this year MSI will be an audiovisual feast for new and old teams to gather ~ The LPL Spring Playoffs Final Four will reignite on April 12, Beijing time, TES faces the top V5 of the regular season, which team will represent the LPL in MSI, let's wait and see!
