Greetings to all League of Legends esports fans! At EGamersWorld, together we continue to analyze the events of LEC Summer 2022 and make our predictions. Let me remind you that this is the largest League of Legends tournament in Europe, and €200,000 EUR and three places at Worlds 2022 are at stake .
We are now in the 6th gaming week of the tournament, which in terms of the distribution of matches between the teams will be absolutely mirrored in the 2nd week of the LEC, perhaps with slight changes in the order of meetings.
Team BDS vs G2 Esports
Team BDS who have already defeated G2 Esports once. But can I do this twice?
The second match in a row, where the presence of a favorite is not even discussed. G2 Esports will take revenge on Team BDS for their only victory. A complete outsider of this summer's split against one of the strongest League of Legends teams in Europe. All analysts obviously don't expect G2 to win, but as we've seen, once a year BDS wins too.
Form BDS
The team with the worst results at LEC Summer 2022, which has a solid lead in terms of the number of losses from the rest of the teams and is already the main outsider. So far, they look extremely weak with their score of 1-10 in matches. But there is also a single, but honorable victory - against G2 Esports, with whom they will have to fight again.
This is the first summer split for the guys from BDS. The team played very mediocre at LEC Spring 2022, after which they replaced the top liner and support. Personally, I think that with Erdote and especially Agresivoo they look much better than before.
But, due to the personal circumstances of the participants, the BDS team becomes the second one to change players this week. Their new support will be Dino " LIMIT " Tot, with whom they played earlier. And Erdote will go to France on the LFL.
In my opinion, one of the main problems of the team is the love of risky decisions. It often happened that, having gained an advantage, they did not try to press the opponent carefully and play around the objects, but arranged a swing.
As for the draft, the second feature of Team BDS. They showed us a very wide and sometimes very unusual choice of champions, but who sometimes showed themselves quite well. But in general, their compositions often suffer from such diversity.
A rather weak team that has work to do and needs to gain experience. Moreover, such a huge number of losses and the replacement of a player are unlikely to have a good effect on the form of cybersportsmen.

Agresivoo - topliner

G2 Esports Uniform
Winner of the previous LEC Spring 2022 split, runner-up at the Mid-Season Invitational 2022, and Europe's reference League of Legends team that has been dominating the home scene for many years.
Yes, the team had difficulties in the last competitive season, but they were able to overcome them, which resulted in a new roster. They did it very well, replacing all players except for the two most influential roles in the game: caPs in the mid lane in conjunction with the old Jankos in the jungle. Other roles were filled with very capable and younger players.
After the spring split and the first two weeks, they are quite rightly considered the strongest team in the LEC at the moment. They are good at everything from drafting to implementing even unusual ideas. Sometimes a team allows itself to take something amazing within the meta pro scene and even win, earning style points. And caPs can now be safely called the European Faker.
At the beginning of this split, they were unbeatable. Just what did caPs do in conjunction with support from Jankos and went with a score of 4-1, once flying away from Team BDS, no matter how strange it turned out. But this was only the first wake-up call. After all, the team was waiting for as many as 4 defeats in a row and not a single victory in two game weeks. But in the 5th game week, G2 caught up with two wins, including against Rogue.
When collected, G2 Esports are ready to tear and throw, but, unfortunately for many fans, lately they have seen not the most stable team play and drafts.

Meeting history
Let's remember the last match between these two teams, in which Team BDS shone and scored their only victory.
In it, BDS had a fairly good and stable draft, due to which they were able to crush their opponent. But, perhaps, the main reason for their victory was the dubious decisions on the part of G2 Esports, when caPs flew into their backline from a teleport and died. Very strange game from G2.
I believe that this will not work out the second time and G2 will take their opponent more seriously. So BDS will have to surprise them with something.
Match outcome
With this meeting, everything should be relatively simple: I expect to see a stable and proven pick from G2 Esports with a measured game. After all, now it’s not a fact that the team will reach the playoffs, which they really need. Team BDS is weaker than G2 both morally and in terms of experience. I don't think that G2 should have any difficulties in this match.
Outcome: G2 Esports win.
