The action at the grand finalsin the European League Championship Series (EU LCS) for the Leagueof Legends 2016 Summer Split just concluded. First-seeded G2(10-8-0) played against second-seeded Splyce (9-6-3).
Here is a quick recap of whathappened in the last series of the EU LCS Summer Split.
Game One
To kick off the series, G2decided to surprise everyone when Luka“Perkz” Perković picked AP Ekko Mid. Holding himself wellin lane, he prevented the enemy mid laner from snowballing ahead,allowing his side lanes to push for an early gameadvantage.
G2 top laner Dae-Han“Expect” Ki and AD carry Jesper“Zven” Svenningsen used their early advantageto out-scale their opponents and take game one for G2.
