GIANTX meets the European champions and will play Heretics to stay alive in the LEC

The esports organization GIANTX could not cope with G2 in the start of the playoffs of the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC)), the main esports competition in Europe, and will now have to play for its continuity against Team Heretics at the bottom of the table. The team of André Guilhoto offered resistance, but the samurai imposed their craft and experience to take the victory in Berlin. Once again Caps and BrokenBlade proved to be decisive.

The giants started from more to less, with good sensations in the first map, not so positive in the second. Once again, GIANTX came up against the ‘ogre’ of the league. The performance of Guilhoto’s team, especially at the beginning, leads us to believe, however, that there is reason to think about improving and moving forward in LEC.

In the first map, GIANTX played at a good level, although G2 knew how to interpret the game better and take advantage of the opportunities. The difference was not excessive, but at the key moments Caps made the difference and closed the duel in favor of his team.

The second map started with a surprising gamble by GIANTX. Noah took out Melthe new champion available in the competition, and managed to open the first advantages in gold for his team. Despite the good start, G2 reacted and filled the map with traps. Caps and BrokenBlade took the lead and settled the decisive fights to secure the win.

After this defeat, GIANTX will face Heretics at the bottom of the table, with the obligation to win to stay alive in the competition. Heretics, against whom GIANTX has a historic rivalry, also lost 2-0 against Fnaticwinner of the regular league. There is no margin for error: whoever wins continues and whoever loses says goodbye to the LEC until spring. The clash is next Saturday 22 at 18:00.

The above-mentioned advanced on the upper side G2, Fnatic, Movistar KOI and Karmine Corp.. They will have to deal with the downside. GIANTX and Heretics and BDS and Vitality.
