The League of Legends<\/a> European Championship (LEC) 2020 Summer playoffs are set to begin on Friday, August 21, with the top six European LoL teams duking it out for the title and one of the three remaining tickets to the LoL World Championship.<\/p>\n

The LEC 2020 Summer playoffs will kick off with a clash between SK Gaming and Schalke 04 in the lower bracket, followed by an upper-bracket brawl between reigning LEC champions G2 Esports and MAD Lions on Saturday, and then Fnatic taking on top seeds Rogue on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Here, we will look over the six LEC teams that have earned their spot in the playoffs and rank them based on their strengths, weaknesses and chances of claiming the LEC throne in September.<\/p>\n

G2 Esports<\/h2>\n

Strengths:<\/strong> Strong all-round synergy
\nWeaknesses:<\/strong> Unfavourable meta\u00a0
\nWin condition:<\/strong> Forcing teams to play at their pace, win with mid-late game team fighting\u2028
\nPlayer to watch:<\/strong> Rasmus “Caps” Borregaard Winther<\/p>\n

G2 Esports are still the team to beat in the LEC. Even though they did not look too sharp throughout most of the split, their form improved significantly towards the end of the season and they now look poised to contest their eighth LEC title.<\/p>\n

G2 were slow to adapt to the current meta, which does not favour their usual drafts. They were also hampered by the sub-standard output of ADC Luka “Perkz” Perkovi\u0107, who has been dealing with personal issues that prevented him from spending the whole split with his team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though Perkz has yet to show his ‘Uma Jan’ alter ego, he looked much better in the later stages of the split. And history has taught us that G2 find a new gear when they enter the postseason, so it is no surprise to see them installed as short-priced favourites to win the LEC Summer title.<\/p>\n

Rogue<\/h2>\n

Strengths:<\/strong> Strong laners, organised team fighting
\nWeaknesses:<\/strong> Slow playstyle
\nWin condition:<\/strong> Slow down the game and outscale
\nPlayer to watch:<\/strong> Emil “Larssen”Larsson<\/p>\n

There are arguments to be made for putting Rogue in top spot since they won the regular season, and then there are arguments to put them in third since MAD Lions looked much better for most of the split before their slump. However, since Rogue defeated MAD in Week 8, it\u2019s only fair to have them in second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
