Results of the First Week of LEC Winter 2025

The first week of LEC Winter 2025 has concluded, leaving many teams and fans disappointed, while for others, it marked a temporary triumph and the discovery of the tournament. The new tournament format requires quick adaptation, as the qualifying games for the playoff stage are played in a BO1 format, making every match potentially decisive.

The Standings After the First Week of LEC Winter 2025

For an entire week, the ten best teams in the region competed against each other in a Best-of-One format. After the first week, we already have some intriguing results from the matches. Let’s take a look at the standings and the teams’ results:

The results of the first week of LEC Winter 2025 - Regular Season can be attributed to various factors, ranging from the new tournament format to significant internal changes within teams.

The standout of the first week was Karmine Corp with their revamped roster. The team delivered an impressive performance, defeating both G2 and KOI. These are two highly competitive teams, and such results certainly deserve recognition.

G2 Esports, with their new lineup, have yet to meet expectations. This is particularly striking given their dominant performance last season, where they won all tournaments in the European region. During the first week, the fresh roster managed to defeat only SK Gaming, a team that has faced challenges and lacked significant results in recent years. While it's understandable that the roster is new and still finding its synergy, the less forgiving tournament format leaves little room for error, as every game can impact playoff qualification.

Considering that Rogue was rumored to be looking to sell their LEC slot, predicting the outcomes of their matches was quite challenging. With the team’s motivation and overall state uncertain, expectations were low. However, Rogue demonstrated they are ready to compete in this tournament.

What’s next in LEC Winter 2025?

The new format of LEC Winter 2025 is beginning to show its impact on the outcomes of team matches. The BO1 format forces teams to deliver a high level of play in every game, which enhances fan interest. After all, not every viewer is ready to sit through a BO3 series, let alone BO5, until the end. From the spectators' perspective, this format seems like an excellent decision for the professional scene. For the players, however, it presents a new challenge, one that only the truly strongest team will overcome to become the champion of LEC Winter 2025.
