LEC 2023 Summer time Teams – Groups and Schedule
Beneath are the eight groups which have certified for the Spring Playoffs (ordered by seeding):
- #1 – G2 Esports
- #2 – Fnatic
- #3 – XL Esports
- #4 – Staff Heretics
- #5 – Staff BDS
- #6 – SK Gaming
- #7 – MAD Lions
- #8 – KOI
The LEC 2023 Summer time Common break up has been a particular one. We had been capable of witness the rebirth of Fnatic, XL Esports, and Staff Heretics who surprisingly all made it to the highest 4, alongside G2 Esports. All these groups confirmed nice promising performances and rightfully earned their place into Teams stage.
With two of the underside groups from the earlier break up going into Teams, there are two different squads who had been certain to overlook out on the final a part of the season. Astralis and Staff Vitality have already ended their Summer time Cut up, with the previous ending their LEC season early. Regardless of some respectable performances right here and there, Astralis wouldn’t have sufficient championship factors for the LEC Season Finals.
Staff Vitality have a small likelihood of qualifying for the Season Finals
Vitality, however, nonetheless have a slim likelihood to qualify, however even when they had been capable of make it, the group doesn’t appear to be anyplace able to combat for the title. Jungler Bo was benched previous to the final week of the common break up and regardless of having rookie jungler Daglas arising from the academy group, Vitality did not win in week 3, ending their break up with a 1-8 scoreboard.
Whereas it’s technically doable for them to nonetheless qualify for the LEC Season Finals, the percentages are extraordinarily slim. With MAD and G2 already locking a spot and Staff BDS having scored extra championship factors, they would want a number of eventualities to align to make it. Most significantly, they would want to have groups like XL, TH, and FNC to not make it into the highest 3, with MAD, G2, and Staff BDS locking out the highest spots. However given how the groups have carried out, it’s extremely unlikely.
Can MAD repeat Spring once more?
As soon as once more, MAD discover themselves barely scraping into the highest 8. Regardless of an awesome begin, for MAD all of it went downhill shortly ranging from week 2. Will they handle within the unbelievable run once more? They don’t essentially must, contemplating they already locked a spot on the Season Finals, however it is going to undoubtedly assist to see a step up of their gameplay.
The remainder of the mid-pack has had ups and downs all through the three weeks so it’s actually arduous to make any prediction. Based mostly on what we’ve seen to this point, there are probabilities that apart from G2 and perhaps FNC, all the opposite groups have the potential to beat one another relying on how they present up on the day.
