RESULTS: G2 Extend Their Lead over Splyce with Several Brutal Team Fights

For G2 Esports, victory in the EU LCS is something that is expected, and with this victory over Splyce they are one step closer to a chance to battle for another title. Here’s a brief breakdown of the match.

Splyce make the first move of the match, moving bot to secure the first Dragon of the game. Both teams continue to apply pressure across the map, looking for any opening they can use to get ahead. The breaking point comes in the bot lane, where both teams send multiple members to engage as a skirmish quickly becomes a full blown team fight. G2 pick up two kills and the first turret of the game, but Splyce don’t walk away empty handed, claiming a kill of their own.

The two teams clash again in the top lane with G2 picking up two kills and the Rift Herald, though Splyce answer with the mid outer turret and their second Dragon of the match. G2 use the Rift Herald to take down the mid outer turret before rotating to the top side for another engage. Splyce are waiting however, and pick up a kill for themselves before taking their own opportunity to push in the top outer turret.

G2 take advantage of a brief lull in combat to secure their first Dragon of the match. Both teams continue to poke each other across the map, though neither can land enough to warrant a full blown engage. The teams clash over the Baron, resulting in a quick kill for G2 when Splyce attempt to contest. Splyce return to try and prevent G2 from securing the buff, and though they do lose another member, G2 are forced to pull back for the time being.

Both teams continue to battle over the Baron, with G2 eventually claiming the buff. With multiple low health members for both teams, G2 are able to pick up a quick kill before pulling back, while Splyce are left wanting more from the encounter. Using the power afforded by the Baron buff, G2 push in multiple lanes at once, applying pressure across the map before setting up for their potential final push.

With all the outer turrets destroyed, G2 are set to break open the base of Splyce, choosing to focus on the mid and bot lanes before pulling back to reset once again. Pushing again through the mid lane, G2 destroy the first inhibitor of the game before both teams clash again at the Baron. In the ensuing fight, G2 wipe Splyce off the map before pushing to close out the game.

With G2 now in in the lead for this series, Splyce will need to regain the fire they possessed in game one if they want to keep their dreams alive.
