Head to Head

MAD Lions KOI and G2 Esports already clashed in the first round of the LEC 2024 Summer Finals when MAD Lions caused an upset.

MAD Lions KOI Form

MAD Lions KOI have gone through quite a resurgence in the LEC 2024 Summer Finals, picking up a massive victory against G2 Esports in round one and adding a closely contested game against Fnatic in the upper bracket finals. But you have to ask yourself how much weight we should put on these results and whether it was MAD Lions KOI showing improvement or was it that their opponents were not playing as well.

It could really be that MAD Lions KOI are back. Conversely, it could also be nothing more than a flash in the pan. At some point, however, you have to show some respect and ask yourself whether G2 Esports can step up and really show what they are capable of or if we will see another subpar showing, which could lead to another upset loss.

The answer to how this match will end comes down to how well G2 Esports will perform. There are very high expectations put on this roster, and rightly so, as G2 Esports have the tools to not only succeed domestically, but also on the international stage.

The problem is we have not seen this version of G2 Esports in a while now, so it is fair to question when and if G2 Esports will manage to flip on the switch. They have been struggling in the early game, often burying themselves in massive deficits, yet they usually do a fine job catching up.

This has changed, however, in their last few games, as G2 Esports have averaged an impressive +3k gold lead at 20 minutes, which is more of what you would expect from this LoL esports squad. But the question is how long can G2 Esports keep at it, and more importantly, have they found a way to improve?

Verdict

G2 Esports v MAD Lions KOI

MAD Lions KOI defeated G2 Esports last time, but despite that success, G2 Esports look like the obvious play. They've shown good things recently and seemingly found a way to improve in the areas they struggled the most.

While it is possible that MAD Lions KOI simply figured things out and are now playing at a higher level, G2 Esports' ceiling is still significantly higher, and we know they tend to step up when it matters the most. We could be in for another close game, so I wouldn't go too crazy with taking advantage of G2's relatively generous price. Still, it's hard to bet against the strongest team in the West.
