Team predictions
The LEC has long been a two-horse race between G2 Esports and Fnatic, but MAD Lions nixed that when it
won the 2021 LEC Spring Split. Rogue has also established itself as a serious contender with its performance in the spring. These four teams are the top contenders to look at in the LEC this summer.
G2 Esport is always the first team to talk about when it comes to LEC success. The team won five championships in a row before MAD Lions broke that streak. It is possible that G2 will make a comeback here.
Fnatic is one of the top dogs of the competition with several wins to its name. However, the team has had its fair share of bad luck in recent years. It didn’t place in the top four in the 2021 Spring Split and has been on the bad end of its rivalry with G2.
The defending champions of the 2021 Spring Split will have to keep their heads up if they want to keep the trophy. Most winners of the Spring Split have retained their titles except in the 2014 Summer Split when Alliance knocked out Fnatic to claim the top spot. If anyone is superstitious, this should make them feel even more confident about MAD Lions.
Rogue took the competition by surprise when it came all the way from the bottom to claim the second-place spot in the 2021 LEC Spring Split. Considering it had to cross over the former champions as well as other top contenders, the team might be able to pull off the win this time around.
