The League of Legends 2024 LEC Winter Tournament has now ended all matches in the regular season due to the format changes made to this year's LEC League. The regular season is no longer a two-part part of BO1 and BO3, but has become a stage, with 10 teams playing a single round robin of BO1, and each team has only 9 BO1 matches. Therefore, with the exception of RGE and KC at the bottom of the rankings, the other 8 teams have all entered the playoff stage, with the first and second rounds of the playoffs being BO3 and the others being in the BO5 format.
The LEC Winter Playoffs will return in the early hours of February 4 with two BO3 events per match day, with a double-elimination tournament running until February 19, and the winner of the LEC Winter will qualify for the 2024 Mid-Season Championship. Some viewers may not know much about the LEC team, nor are they clear about their lineup and strength, and sara provides a brief introduction here.
G2: 7-2 in the regular season
G2, who dominated the LEC region last year, did not make any changes to their roster, they are still the strongest team in the LEC, and they have a good chance of winning this Winter Championship, with players in every position in Europe calling for the wind and rain, and Caps winning the most MVPs. But as you can see from this record, G2 is not an invincible team in the region, they are still easy to overturn, and have lost 2 games this season. G2 is a team that loves to fight, even if it is a disadvantage, which makes it easy for them to be snowballed when they encounter a really strong team, or if they are caught by an opponent.
BDS: 7-2 in the regular season
After participating in the Worlds last year as the No. 4 seed, BDS made a substitution in the off-season, with LSB Academy-trained South Korea's Ice joining the team. The South Korean player is not too Carry at the moment, and has won the tool man ADC this season, but he is not like Crownie, and he is already the best support for the team. Because BDS is a team that focuses on the top half of the region, the individual ability of the upper middle players is good, and the jungler is the nerve knife. BDS lost to G2 in the regular season and lost to bottom-to-bottom KC in the other game, which was a bit of a precarious game.
SK: 5-4 in the regular season
As you can see from the results, there is a bit of a gap in the ranking of the LEC region, but since there is only one round of the regular season in the Winter Season, and the changes at the beginning of the S14 season are too big, BO3 can't see anything. Nisqy has a new partner this year and works well with jungler ISMA, who is the core player of the current team. But the bottom lane is still a big problem, Exakick and Doss always give people heads at the critical moment, and the top lane is the type to catch and die. SK also gave KC a win at the end of the season, and the Sword Demon in that game was 1-7, and the upper teams of the LEC have a lot of problems.
MDK: 5-4 in the regular season
As a Spanish team, the management directly reworked in the offseason, and the lineup came to a big change, except for the mid laner who is Polish, the others are all Spaniards. Except for Elyoya, the other players in the whole team are very unfamiliar to the domestic audience, but this lineup really played a good job. Myrwn can play all kinds of heroes, such as Scarecrow and Varus top laner, and the bottom lane combination won 2 MVPs each, and the send and C were half of the way. Overall, the MDK team has a good program, and if the middle lane is stronger, it may be able to make it to this year's Worlds.
FNC: 5-4 in the regular season
The management kicked out support player Trymbi in the offseason and replaced it with Korean player Jun, a DRX academy-born who played for KDF last year and had a mediocre performance in the LCK league. Compared to last year's Winter Tournament, FNC's overall performance this season was much better, winning against teams ranked lower than them, and then losing against teams ranked higher than them. This team doesn't have a consistent Carry point, and no one can stand up once they are underdogs, but considering that FNC often explodes in the playoffs, maybe this season will bring some surprises as well.
VIT: 4-5 in the regular season
After last year's big defeat, VIT no longer had a superstitious belief in the Galactic Battleship and opted for a more modest lineup, but the team's situation is still a bit bad, and they are currently only in sixth place in the standings. The biggest attraction of this team is the support player, Hylissang, who is very familiar to the domestic audience, he has also been sending non-stop this season, with an average of 4.56 deaths per game, which is still when he used a lot of protective support, especially Renata against the bottom RGE game, the team won him but died 9 times. The best player on the team is Vetheo, and even mid-laner Kai'Sa takes fly.
TH: 4-5 in the regular season
The traffic team, which was highly watched by many at the beginning of the season, 4 of the 5 starters were G2 players, and if they kept Vetheo, who played well last year, they had a chance to enter the top four of the LEC, but the management changed to Perkz for the sake of traffic. The player continued his poor performance over the past two years, with a lot of but a playful retirement on the spot, the 0-7-1 Czar against FNC was a joke, and Perkz has become VIT's biggest shortcoming. The team relied entirely on Jankos to hold the pace, and he was still very stable when he got Zhao Xin, and even the losing game was not the biggest war criminal.
GX: 4-5 in the regular season
RGE's results got worse and worse after kicking Odoamne, and in this winter regular season, he managed to kick his old club down. This year's mid-laner Jackies on the LEC stage are currently the main output of GX, and the debut of Niko is very impressive, if the team can win the game, he is full of presence, and the losing game is often not found in this person. Peach, a Korean-aided jungler, mixed up in the LEC last year, but he didn't have much of a breakthrough this year and belongs to a blue-collar jungler who is on a team. TH and GX can enter the playoffs because of the benefits of the game system changes, and the overall strength is not strong.
