LEC Spring 2026: GIANTX vs Team Heretics Series Review - 2:1 - In-Depth Look at the Drafts and Game Objectives

The first match of the day is the matchup between GIANTX and Team Heretics. Before the match, GIANTX had a 2-0 record in the group, and this match is an opportunity to solidify their position at the top of the standings. Team Heretics, in turn, are in a very precarious position and currently hold a 1-2 record in the group. Let's move on to the game's highlights.

Game 1 Picks:

• GIANTX: Ambessa, Vi, LeBlanc, Varus, Alistar
• Team Heretics: K`Sante, Wukong, Aurora, Jhin, Karma

Game 2 Picks:

• GIANTX: Renekton, Jarvan IV, Annie, Ashe, Seraphine

Game 3 Picks:

• GIANTX: Jax, Sejuani, Tristana, KaiSa, Bard
• Team Heretics: Sion, Pantheon, Azir, Ezreal, Nami

A great performance by GIANTX at all stages of the game. Team Heretics picked an excellent combination to snowball the bot lane, but ISMA on Vi did a tremendous job of controlling the entire map. It is also worth noting the excellent warding from GIANTX, which helped them secure several crucial kills. Good zoning around dragons and an understanding of timings - all of this led to the first game concluding in favor of GIANTX.

The second game was the exact opposite. Team Heretics played a great game, featuring excellent engages and a solid draft where every champion complemented each other. Of course, the GIANTX ADC made many mistakes in this game and frequently got caught out by overextending. This allowed Yunara to snowball heavily, while Xin Zhao and Lulu provided maximum protection for their ADC so they could eliminate the entire GIANTX team.

In the early stages of the third game, Team Heretics once again tried to push the tempo. However, GIANTX had other plans. They opted for a slow, measured playstyle and gradually built up an advantage. At first, it was still difficult to position properly in team fights, but by the mid-game, GIANTX had completely turned the match in their favor.

GIANTX secure their spot at the top of the regular season standings with a 3-0 record. Team Heretics suffer their third defeat and currently sit at a 1-3 record in the group.
