LEC Versus 2026: SK Gaming Upsets Fnatic to Secure First Win
The next match of the day featured Fnatic against SK Gaming. Fnatic entered this match as the favorites with a 1-0 record, while SK Gaming, having lost their match yesterday, stepped in as the underdogs at 0-1. Let's see how this encounter played out.
Game 1 Picks:
- Fnatic: Renekton, Wukong, Taliyah, Yunara, Alistar
- SK Gaming: Kennen, Vi, Ryze, Varus, Nautilus
In this match, SK Gaming drafted a composition that required fast play and snowballing, which they executed well. The only real issues were in the Bot lane, where Varus suffered significantly and trailed Yunara in farm. However, the rest of the early game was entirely in their favor.
SK Gaming did not surrender the mid-game to Fnatic either. They played at a measured pace and, in some ways, didn't fully exploit their advantage, but they also made very few mistakes, denying Fnatic any opportunity to build momentum. This led to several more successful fights for SK, resulting in a 10,000 gold lead by the 20-minute mark and an uncontested Baron at 26 minutes.
It was a very confident performance that culminated in a kill on Renekton in the top lane before they moved to push. There was a somewhat risky dive on Fnatic's base, but the gold gap was too large by then. Combined with the Baron buff and well-timed ability usage, SK Gaming secured the victory. Both SK Gaming and Fnatic now sit at a 1-1 record.
