Misfits Advance to EU LCS Semifinals

The Quarterfinals have concluded for the EU LCS, and with their victory today, Misfits will be advancing to the semifinals as they continue their campaign for an EU LCS title. Here’s a brief breakdown of their match against G2 Esports.

Match One

The first clash kicked off this series in style, with Misfits proving to be the far more dominant team on the day. Though G2 tried their best to fight back, there was very little they were able to do to slow down the Misfits as they steamrolled through objectives to build an impressive lead. In the end, G2 were barely more than a speedbump in this battle, leaving Misfits with confidence as they looked to the next match.

Match Two

The second match saw G2 Esports put up much more of a fight than earlier. Though G2 were able to build up an impressive lead early on, they suffered greatly in the mid-game as Misfits turned up the heat while looking for a comeback. The battles swung wildly in favor of both teams, though ultimately Misfits were able to secure the fights and objectives they wanted to retake the lead and secure the victory.

Match Three

In what would prove to be the final match of this series, Misfits once again dominated their opponents from the start. G2 Esports actually managed to win several team fights through this battle but failed to capitalize on their success as Misfits continued to win the objective war. In the end, G2 were not able to gain a lead of their own, as Misfits steamrolled their way to victory in a quick 3-0 series.

Misfits will now go on to play against with Team Vitality or Fnatic in the semifinal matches next week. For more information on those games, check out the official schedule, here, and for more EU LCS action from this week, check out the match recap from yesterday’s games, here.
