Eveything League of Legends fans need to know regarding MAD Lions vs Team Vitality at LEC 2022 spring split

Predictions

The MAD Lions are the defending champions of both the spring split and the summer split titles in the LEC. They were also the best performing European team at League of Legends Worlds 2021.

However, despite that, they lost two of their most crucial players. Humanoid joined Fnatic and Carzzy joined Team Vitality. Therefore, in terms of team strength, they have been severely weakened.

Team Vitality, on the other hand, have built up a superteam. Perkz and Alphari are currently two of the best players in the world in their respective positions and they both joined Vitality. There is also no denying that Selfmade is a very good jungler and the Carzzy-Labrov botlane is incredibly refined.

Therefore, on paper, Team Vitality should close out their first match of the season with an emphatic victory over the MAD Lions.
