The first day of the playoffs in the LEC 2023 League of Legends Winter Split proved to be intense and exciting. On this day, G2 Esports and KOI met on the battlefield.
G2 Esports on their way to the grand finals
After a convincing 3-1 victory over KOI, G2 Esports secured a spot in the LEC 2023 Winter Split Grand Finals. The team showed a great battle, demonstrating individual skills and excellent team play.
The start of the game was not the best for KOI, but they recovered and showed serious resistance from G2 Esports in the third and fourth games. However, this did not help, as G2 Esports showed a masterful game and took the victory.
Detailed review of the playoffs day 1:
- In the first and second games, G2 Esports were dominant.
- In the second game, G2 Esports used a powerful combo of Sejuani mid and Bel’Veth as a jungler, which proved to be fatal for KOI.
- Hans Sama and Meekiks continued to dominate the botlane, overcoming Comp and Trimby.
- In the third game, G2 Esports experienced difficulties, but in the fourth game they managed to recover and win.
In Game 4, Brokenblade did a great job on his Olaf, while Caps on Tristan and Hans Sama on Sivir also showed a high level of skill. Yike, new to G2 Esports, REPLACED Jankos and proved himself to be a seasoned jungler.
Wrestling in the lower bracket
KOI, MAD Lions and SK Gaming will continue to fight in the lower bracket. All teams have good potential, but SK Gaming is a dark horse in the LEC 2023 Winter Split.
Only one team will be able to get to the final and cut off with G2 Esports. Assuming, KOI probably has the best chance of reaching the finals given their previous performance.
Analysis of the situation in the lower grid
The volatility of MAD Lions can be the reason for their defeat, while SK Gaming has good skills but often sticks to standard tactics. KOI, on the other hand, is characterized by innovative players, which gives them an advantage.
Completion of the playoffs and the grand final
The final week of the playoffs, including the grand final, will take place on February 24, 25 and 26. The winner of the Winter Split will be the first team to qualify for the international League of Legends MSI 2023 tournament.
As such, all three teams from the lower bracket will be forced to fight tooth and nail to secure a place in the grand finals and take the stage against G2 Esports on Sunday.
Finally
The first day of the playoffs at the LEC 2023 Winter Split was full of action and passion. G2 Esports made it to the grand finals, leaving behind rivals. The focus is now on the lower bracket, where KOI, MAD Lions and SK Gaming will compete for the right to take on G2 Esports in the final.
