G2 Esports vs Team BDS League of Legends LEC 2024 Winter Split Playoffs: Who will advance to the Grand Final?
Prediction
G2 Esports vs Team BDS is guaranteed to be an exciting matchup. Historically, the former has dominated this rivalry and is currently in sublime form as well. The roster has a wealth of experience, exceptional map rotations, excellent counter picks, and extraordinary teamfighting. All of these factors make G2 Esports among the best teams in the LEC.
Top laner BrokenBlade has been shining on the off-meta Zac pick, which is slowly becoming a viable option in the top lane. Mid laner Caps has kept up his MVP-level form, along with the bot lane duo of Hans sama and Mikyx being dominant as ever. All signs currently point towards G2 Esports sprinting towards the first LEC title of 2024.
Team BDS has always struggled against G2 Esports. Despite this, it is clear that this roster has the potential to overcome the titans of Europe. Team BDS has showcased excellent teamfighting and the ability to turn around games instantly, primarily due to mid laner nuc having an MVP-level performance throughout this split on champions such as Neeko, Azir, and Orianna.
Top laner Adam has also established himself as one of the biggest threats in the LEC with his penchant for aggressive picks such as Darius and Olaf. His presence alone draws many targeted bans towards Team BDS in the drafting phase, which opens up the opportunity for the team to grab other meta picks. The addition of ADC Ice during the LEC 2024 rostermania has proved to be a valuable pickup so far.
G2 Esports is the expected favorite to win this matchup. Team BDS has the chance to potentially take a game off the defending Winter Split champions. However, the individual talent and overall teamplay heavily lean towards G2 Esports' side.
