After EXCEL Esports debuted the top lane Ivern pick in Week 1 Day 1 of the LEC Spring Split, it was time for G2 Esports to test their moves.

Unlike EXCEL, G2 made the pick work well. With the amount of utility on their side, the EU's kings had a smooth mid-to-late game even after starting rocky.

G2 Esports is sitting on top of the LEC standings.

Fnatic do not look good.

Fnatic is one of the most accomplished sides in the LEC. They have long been considered one of the best teams in EU.

Hence, they were the heavy favorites going up against Rogue. However, Fnatic’s over-aggressive playstyle worked against them, and Rogue capitalized on every opportunity.

Emil "Larssen" Larsson’s Twisted Fate was gigantic in the mid lane. He was miles ahead of his opponents by the mid-to-late game mark.

Fnatic needs to reduce their mistakes if they wish to be relevant as serious contenders for the LEC Spring Split crown.
