Six of the LEC’s best teams battled it out over three weeks for the elusive honor of representing Europe at the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational. Here’s everything from the historic playoff event.


  • G2 Esports sweep Rogue in finals to lock in MSI spot.
  • G2 went 12-0 after falling into the lower bracket.
  • Caps wins seventh LEC title and MVP of LEC Finals.

The best of Europe’s best rose to the top in the LEC. Spring 2022 was an unpredictable split, with super teams falling and rookies rising in a way even the most seasoned analysts could not have predicted.

The hero story of the split was none other than EXCEL, who made their first-ever playoffs with a victory over SK Gaming on the final day of the spring split. Rogue, once again, come into the playoffs as first seed, sitting comfortably in first place with a regular-season record of 14-4.

The competition had never been closer in the LEC. But after losing their opening match of the playoffs, G2 Esports stole the show and completed one of the most historic runs to win the LEC title.
