After their incredibly expensive super team crashed an burned, G2 Esports is once again the dominant force in Europe. Many did not expect G2 to hit it into high gear and make their way to MSI. The former MSI champions finished fourth in the regular season while also losing to Fnatic 3-1 in the upper bracket. From that moment something changed inside G2 as the squad put together a monstrous 10-0 lower bracket run to win the LEC spring split.

Finishing the regular season with a 16-2 score. The playoffs told a different story for PSG, however, who had finally shown mortality domestically.
