It’s been a wild year for European League of Legends fans.
Last year, G2 Esports looked almost unstoppable, taking out Korea’s T1 on multiple occasions and blitzing the Mid-Season Invitational. Worlds 2019, on the other hand, saw all three LEC teams—for the first time—advance to the knockout stage of the tournament.
Splyce and Fnatic didn’t make it further than the quarterfinals, but G2 went head-to-head with the LPL’s FunPlus Phoenix in the grand finals. They were ultimately crushed by the Chinese representatives, losing swiftly 3-0, but their overall international performance looked promising for the future.
For the second consecutive year, Europe has been one of the most competitive League regions in the world. Korea’s once-famed dominance wasn’t enough to overcome Europe and that’s an exciting prospect for the LEC.
This year could be the year Europe finally goes all the way and reclaims the Summoner’s Cup. Here’s a look at all the rosters going into the LEC 2020 Summer Split.
