Predictions
G2 Esports are currently the strongest team in the League of Legends LEC and have enjoyed a phenomenal domestic season. The roster clinched the Winter and Summer Splits and delivered a decent performance at MSI 2023.
The team swept the end-of-season awards in the 2023 LEC season with support Mikyx and jungler Yike winning the MVP and Rookie of the Year, respectively. All signs are pointing towards G2 Esports winning the first-ever LEC Season Finals and delivering an emphatic display at Worlds 2023.
On the other hand, MAD Lions have also enjoyed a strong 2023 LEC season. However, they suffered way more stumbles and vitriol thanks to inconsistent performances and dreadful outings at MSI 2023.
Despite this, the roster has come out of the gates swinging in the LEC Season Finals and seeks to revive its strong form. The performance of jungler Elyoya and ADC Carzzy will be pivotal if the team wishes to vanquish G2 in their current form.
G2 Esports are the expected favorites to win this best-of-five series and secure a spot in the Grand Finals. However, MAD Lions have showcased their strengths previously against G2 and demonstrated capabilities of going toe-to-toe in terms of mechanical prowess and map play.
