LEC Versus 2026: GIANTX Defeat G2 Esports to Reach 2-0 Record
The penultimate match of the second day featured G2 Esports against GIANTX. G2 Esports entered with a 0-1 record, while GIANTX secured a victory yesterday and sat at 1-0. Despite this, G2 were still regarded as the reigning LEC champions.
Game 1 Picks:
- G2 Esports: K’Sante, Xin Zhao, Anivia, Yunara, Rell
- GIANTX: Ambessa, Jarvan IV, Ryze, Varus, Bard
GIANTX delivered an excellent start with strong pressure on the bot lane and effective rotations across other lanes. G2 Esports, although appearing very relaxed and somewhat out of form, still maintained their presence on the map and traded back well. To date, this was the slowest and most measured match of the tournament.
GIANTX’s objective control was a highlight; by the 21st minute, they had secured three dragons without giving up a single one to G2. Nevertheless, G2 managed to find key kills and clawed their way back into the game, equalizing the gold lead.
At one point, G2 gained the upper hand and secured the Baron. However, they subsequently made a poor decision and committed a critical error while pushing the top lane, losing a fight just before the dragon spawned. This allowed GIANTX to claim their fourth dragon, granting them an incredible advantage. Following this, GIANTX closed out the game without difficulty, becoming the second team in the group to reach a 2-0 record. Meanwhile, G2 drops to 0-2.
