Yes, it is true — G2 fell to the lower brackets and now they fight to survive in the LEC Summer 2024 split.
The lower-bracket final of LEC Summer 2024 is even more interesting than you could imagine. While people generally consider G2 Esports the best LoL team in Europe, these players lost to their old rivals, Fnatic, in the upper-bracket final. Seeing G2 playing League of Legends seriously, on the verge of elimination, is always great!
On the other hand, Team BDS should be full of motivation to use this chance. In fact, they fell to the lower brackets exactly after the opening match against G2 Esports. Revenge can be sweet and satisfying.

Live Score
G2 Esports 0:1 Team BDS
For a while, the teams had a rather even game 1. But then, G2 won a team fight and decided to take Baron — that did not happen, as Team BDS stole the objective while having fewer players. This success was followed by Dragons, another Baron, and great team fight wins. Eventually, BDS went for an Inhibitor tower and took G2’s Nexus. Team BDS win game 1 of the LEC Summer 2024 lower-bracket final.

Head to head
The previous matches can not boost the confidence of Team BDS at all. G2 defeated them at the LEC Season Finals 2023. G2 Esports won against Team BDS in the LEC Winter 2024 upper-bracket final. And during the LEC Spring 2024 playoffs the result was pretty much the same.
Team BDS won against G2 Esports during the LEC Summer 2024 Regular Season. But those were Bo1 matches with a lot of chances to recover throughout the following weeks, which G2 actually did. When the stakes are high, the results are most often different.
Is it bad for Team BDS?
It depends on their approach! Someone would say “ok, no chances here; we are in the LEC Finals anyway”.
But Team BDS may turn on a different mode, something like 'we need to break this head-to-head record, reach the grand final, and get our ticket to the LoL World Championship 2024'. Similar to all good esports teams, BDS tends to be in the second mood!
As for G2 Esports, they surprisingly have a lot to prove themselves and their fans. Their performance at the Esports World Cup wasn’t great. They lost to Fnatic in the upper-bracket final. Losing to Team BDS? This is not an option!
