EU LCS Match Recaps for Day 2 of Week 2

Another week done and dusted for the EU LCS, as the teams continue to find new ways to secure victory in this chaotic Meta. Here’s a brief breakdown of the matches from day 2 of week 2.

ROCCAT vs FC Schalke 04

The first match of the day was not a quick one, as ROCCAT and Schalke fought tooth and nail to secure victory. Well, rather Schalke fought, while ROCCAT seemed to take a long time to die. With a final score as lopsided as we ended up with, the only excuse for Schalke to have taken so long is due to the fact that Ziggs is once again being played, mostly in the bot lane thanks to the current Meta, and his wave clear is as top notch as ever. It’s not a bad strategy really, just stall out the game until the gold difference doesn’t matter, however it didn’t pay off for ROCCAT today.

Giants vs Misfits

Misfits have been on a tear of late in the EU LCS, proving their strength over some already strong teams as they climb up the standings. This match may not have been as one sided as the previous game, however it was much quicker with Misfits proving that holding a lead is easier than gaining one. With the way their current games are going, Misfits bout against G2 Esports in week 4 should prove to be the match to watch.

H2K vs G2 Esports

Another quick and methodical match from the G2 squad as they look to reclaim their crown in the EU LCS. Their gold funneling strategy isn’t exactly unique, with other teams in the EU LCS and other regions all trying it out as well, however G2 certainly seem to have a firm grasp on exactly how to pull it off as they take down team after team. It will be interesting to see how it fares against the other teams that are doing well this split, such as Misfits.

Splyce vs Unicorns of Love

It was a dominating performance out of the Unicorns of Love, with Splyce barely managing to put up a fight during this 26 minute game. Control over the neutral objectives seems to be the path to victory for a lot of the teams in the EU LCS, so it’s good to see the Unicorns putting emphasis on that today. There are still some weakness’ that need to be shored up, however it seems the current Meta favors the gameplay of the Unicorns for now, so we’ll have to see how far they can ride this current wave.

Fnatic vs Team Vitality

Another game without AD Carry Rekkles, yet Fnatic seem more than fine to let their star player sit out during this current Meta. Vitality barely managed to avoid getting swept this match, as Fnatic looked to secure a potential perfect game. For more on their weekend, check out our breakdown here.
