LEC Versus 2026: GIANTX defeat Los Ratones With No Chance

GIANTX vs Los Ratones open the second week of LEC Versus 2026. Before the match, the teams have a group score of GIANTX 2-1, while for Los Ratones, after the first week, things are looking very bad - they start the week with a score of 0-3. Let's see how the match went.

Game 1 Picks:

• GIANTX: Gnar, Sejuani, Yone, Kai`Sa, Rakan
• Los Ratones: Volibear, Wukong, Azir, Corki, Braum

The first map began actively from both sides. Constant rotations around the map and pressure across all lanes. Synchronous champion trades and attempts to impose their game on the opponent. GIANTX, of course, held the advantage thanks to taking a dragon, taking two grubs, and First Blood.

By the 15th minute, GIANTX already had nearly a 4 thousand gold advantage. Los Ratones acted very unsynchronized and simply could not manage to gather together for fights, even those they initiated themselves. And the biggest problems were in the Top lane, where Gnar had more than a 2 thousand gold advantage over Volibear. Besides such an advantage, Lot joined the fights, which helped the team take three dragons by the 18th minute and get solo kills.

At the 24th minute, a 14 thousand advantage for GIANTX allowed them to end the game with absolutely no resistance. Los Ratones could not find a single five-man fight where it might have even seemed like they could cling onto this game. The result is a victory for GIANTX and a move to a 3-1 score, while Los Ratones drive themselves even deeper into the lower bracket with a score of 0-4.

This year, the LEC Versus 2026 does not provide a cash prize for winning the tournament. Instead, teams are competing for the opportunity to qualify for the international tournament, First Stand 2026. The Regular Season will be held in a Bo1 format where every team faces each other. In total, teams will play 11 matches each, and those with the best results will advance to the playoffs.
