The European League of Legends League LEC starts into the summer season: the defending champion G2 wins confidently, runner-up Rogue has the disadvantage against Fnatic. Excel played a perfect game.

"Our training wasn't as good as it should have been for the class of our players," Fnatics Botlaner Elias "Upset" Lipp said in an interview after the game. "This split is going better because we are focusing on what we can do better as a team and not on individual performances.»

During the summer season, the LEC will be held regularly in front of spectators for the first time in over two years. In the duel of two title contenders, Fnatic started with a lot of vigor, and converted an early lead against Rogue into a slow but safe victory.

After the first playoff participation in the spring, Excel continues to show itself in good shape. Against Misfits, the team remained without a death, securing a dominant first victory in just 26 minutes.

Champion G2 won despite small mistakes against the line-up of Astralis, which had been completely overhauled with three new players. SK also secured an opening victory in a close duel against BDS.
