TSM Win LCS Finals
The LCS Summer Split grand finals was intense. The match was full of surprises and unexpected turnarounds. From game one to two, TSM held the upper hand and made fans expect the worse for FlyQuest. But despite having a two-game setback, FlyQuest pulled off the imaginable. They evened out the odds with two games in their favor. FlyQuest managed to push back TSM and take the series into a 2-2 match score.
With both teams’ backs against the wall, it was their chance to rise or fall. To most people’s expectations, game five ended up being a snowball match. TSM slowly gained an advantage in gold and experience and used it to control FlyQuest’s jungle. This tactic caused FlyQuest to play safe, but it also meant that they couldn’t scale as fast. Over time, FlyQuest couldn’t keep up as the gold gap grew larger. Eventually, TSM pressured FlyQuest into losing the series by destroying their inhibitors and split pushing until FlyQuest’s players went down. TSM took their seventh LCS Summer Split victory and crowned themselves as the champion of this year’s season.
G2 Esports Win LEC Finals
LEC Summer Split grand finals ended faster than expected. Just like the LEC Spring Split finals, it was lackluster as the match ended with a 3-0 score. G2 Esports took game one relatively quickly, but Fnatic still gave them a run for their money. It was only in game two, where Fnatic dominated the early to mid-game, that G2 saw trouble. Despite having a tremendous advantage, G2 countered Fnatic by slowly scaling and singling Fnatic’s carries out during team fights. This comeback led G2 into winning game two, putting the team at a match score of 2-0.
Fnatic needed to pull off a miracle during game three. But with G2 picking a hyper-aggressive champion composition, Fnatic was out of luck as they couldn’t protect their ADC. Because G2 always singled out the ADC, Fnatic couldn’t deal enough damage. This constant issue resulted in their demise. G2 ended up taking the game through a backdoor nexus push while Fnatic was busy fighting over Elder Dragon. G2 Esports stomped Fnatic with a clean score of 3-0 and crowned themselves as the eight-time champions of the Summer Split season.
Overall, the LCS and LEC 2020 Summer Split season brought lots of excitement to fans. With all four teams in both LCS and LEC final matches entertaining fans worldwide through high-quality League of Legends esports, the event was beyond a success.
