EU LCS Quarterfinals Match Preview – Splyce vs ROCCAT

Over the course of EU LCS Spring Split Regular Season, Splyce and ROCCAT have managed to end up with an even 1-1 record, with ROCCAT claiming the first match and Splyce getting revenge some weeks later. But this isn’t a simple best-of-one, where you can surprise your opponent with an out of the box champion or surprise substitution, this is the real deal. Back in the day, the teams would play a best-of-three for the Quarterfinals and Semi-finals, but times have changed, and best-of-fives are the order of the day.

The first time these teams clashed, ROCCAT pulled out the victory with superior mid and late game map control. Despite Splyce scoring early, they were unable to pull ahead of ROCCAT, and in the end that cost them hard, falling behind when faced with a team composition capable of rotating to various objectives and contesting them with excellent team fighting.

The second time these teams clashed was a much closer affair, with both teams trading the gold lead back and forth as they managed to secure multiple objectives apiece. In the end, Splyce was able to prevail, but it was extremely close and could have just as easily gone the way of ROCCAT. At this time, a victory was a victory, but if Splyce wants to take this series they’ll want a much cleaner series than this game showed.

Neither of these teams know who they will face when they advance, with the reseeding meaning that they could potentially be up against either Fnatic or G2 Esports, so this match will be as much about getting reacquainted with the best-of-five format as sending a message that they will not be a pushover team as playoffs continue.
