G2 Esports: A Force to Reckon With
However, G2 Esports, a powerhouse in European League of Legends, proved their mettle. With a record 12 LEC victories under their belt (adjusted for the format change in 2023), and boasting two of the most decorated players in the league’s history, G2 entered the final as formidable opponents.
G2 Esports Turns the Tide
True to their reputation, G2 Esports rallied after the initial setback, clinching two consecutive victories with relative ease. Despite MAD Lions KOI’s valiant efforts, G2’s solo laners gradually gained momentum, exploiting the vulnerabilities of their opponents and securing decisive victories.

Although MAD Lions KOI fought fiercely, particularly dominating G2’s bottom lane, G2’s strategic prowess and individual skill ultimately proved insurmountable. Despite their commendable efforts, MAD Lions KOI settled for an impressive runner-up position.
Looking Ahead
With the winter split concluded, MAD Lions KOI now have three weeks to regroup and prepare for the upcoming spring split, aiming to replicate their recent success and further refine their gameplay.
Meanwhile, G2 Esports can approach the remainder of the season with confidence, as their assured berths in the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) and end-of-season finals guarantee them opportunities to compete on the world stage.
