League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) 2024 Season Finals lower bracket final, on Saturday, August 31, will see a rematch between G2 Esports and MAD Lions KOI, who will clash for a spot on the big stage. The Spanish squad upset G2 Esports in the first round, yet despite that success, they are not expected to do as well this weekend.
G2 Esports looked unconvincing throughout the regular season, but that was hardly a reason for concern, knowing G2 like to play around until things actually matter. Yet, even their run through LEC 2024 Season Finals has been anything but great.
They lost to MAD Lions KOI in the first round, stomped the shaky GIANTX 3-0, but needed to reverse-sweep Team BDS to secure a spot in the lower bracket finals. Winning after being 0-2 down is impressive; overall, G2 Esports seem to not be in the best shape.
MAD Lions KOI have recently lost a barnburner of a series against Fnatic. Thanks to their explosive early game and solid teamfighting, MAD Lions KOI looked more than competitive and had they not thrown two big leads, things could’ve won the series 3-1.
G2 Esports are still getting a lot of respect, which makes sense, as this is the best Western LoL esports team when they are performing to the best of their ability. Yet we have not seen this side of G2 Esports in a long time, which begs the question of why they are -416.67 favourites here.
MAD Lions KOI’s summer split record is terrible, yet they have started peaking at the right time, and if they can perform as well as they did against Fnatic, G2 Esports can find themselves in a tricky spot.
There is a world where G2 Esports turn on the jets and hoist the LEC trophy on September 1. But the way they are playing now, siding with MAD Lions KOI at these LoL betting odds to keep this fixture close makes more sense.
