MAD Lions clearly lost to Fnatic in the match of the week of the European League of Legends league LEC. This puts the entry into the playoffs for the defending champion in the distance.

"I still think that MAD is not a weak team," Fnatics Iván "Razork" Díaz said in an interview after the game. "It was hard for us to show initiative with our champions.»

At the beginning of the game, MAD found advantages, but had to admit defeat to the crushing style of play of Fnatic. The British team remains on Rogue's heels in the battle for the top of the table.

However, Excel had no chance against a strong rogue. Nevertheless, the British team is still on the right track to enter the playoffs for the first time in the history of the organization.
