G2 Esports Dominates in the Finals
G2 Esports secured a decisive victory in the LEC Summer Split 2026 finals, sweeping Movistar KOI 3-0. This win not only cements G2's status as a powerhouse in European League of Legends but also guarantees them the top seed for the Worlds 2026, set to take place in the United States this autumn.
In a matchup that showcased contrasting paths, G2 Esports finished third in the regular season and advanced through the upper bracket without a single defeat. They first eliminated Team Vitality 3-0 and then overcame Karmine Corp 3-1. In contrast, Movistar KOI, who ranked sixth, had to battle through the losers' bracket, defeating Team Vitality 3-2, NAVI 3-1, and Karmine Corp 3-0 to reach the finals.
The first game set the stage for G2's dominance, as they absorbed early pressure from Movistar KOI, who achieved first blood. G2 focused on neutral objectives, securing two dragons before the 15-minute mark. Despite an early gold deficit, G2's strategic play turned the tide, leading to a solid economic advantage after taking down a turret and securing their third dragon. They ended the first game decisively at the 27-minute mark with over a 13,000 gold lead.
In the second match, G2 once again struck first, taking early control through their bot lane duo, Hans Sama and Labrov. With effective plays from Caps and BrokenBlade, G2 built a lead of nearly 5,000 gold mid-game. Even when Movistar KOI attempted to respond, G2 secured the Baron at the 22nd minute, sealing their victory at 31 minutes with another significant gold lead.
The third game followed a similar pattern, with G2 quickly gaining the upper hand. After another early first blood, G2 continued to dominate the map, securing multiple objectives, including the Baron at 26 minutes. The final blow came swiftly, with G2 closing out the match in under 30 minutes. Labrov was named MVP of the finals for his outstanding performance.
