LEC Versus 2026: Team Vitality secure first victory over SK Gaming
The next match featured SK Gaming against Team Vitality. Last year, both teams showed less than stellar results, so let’s take a look at the highlights of this match. And there was certainly plenty to see.
Game 1 Picks:
- SK Gaming: Ambessa, Jayce, Victor, Yunara, Alistar
- Team Vitality: Aatrox, Pantheon, Taliyah, Corki, Rakan
The entire match was highly active, with the teams fighting nearly every minute. If SK Gaming lost someone in the top lane, they immediately rotated to the bot lane to force a trade. Team Vitality responded in the same manner. Both teams made quite a few mistakes in teamfights - sometimes it was miscommunication, other times it was poorly timed abilities. Thus, the game came down to who could play more aggressively and capitalize on their opponents' mistakes.
In this regard, Team Vitality proved to be superior. They consistently found solo targets to pick off; when SK Gaming moved in to defend their ally, they didn't always succeed, which gave Team Vitality the advantage.
The final turning point in this match was the fight at Baron. Team Vitality were attempting to secure the objective while SK Gaming tried to prevent it. The fight actually started off well enough for SK Gaming, but the outcome was a victory for Team Vitality.
