The opponents of the team will be either Fnatic or Origin. Both of these team made a spectacular run in the last weeks of the LEC. The sides have a week to give there all in training. They will need to prepare some flawless strategies for the semifinal. The team that wins the encounter will play against the almighty G2 Esports in the final.
G2 Esports closer to the title
The first game kicked off with a quite aggressive start by both teams. We could easily rate it as one of the best and closest games in the history of playoffs. Since the game lasted for over 47 minutes and it ended with only a 1000 gold difference between the two teams.
Game 1
Origin started the game well the first blood. They got off to a flying start as they got the first turret, first herald, first dragon and first elder dragon of the game. However, the team led by André Guilhoto elected the best coach of the competition a few days ago, could not maintain its advantage against G2 Esports. G2 executed its tactics perfectly in the last fight to robe Origen from the first win of the series.

Game 2
From the second map, G2 didn’t allow Origen to get comfortable. In the game that lasted for 31 mins, Origen was completed outplayed from the first minute. G2 in one of the biggest games of the season completely manhandled Origen. No player on the side Origen could prevail against G2’s talent. In the end, Cap finished 7-1-11 while the ADC Perkz finished the game flawlessly with 4-0-6.

Game 3
The last game of the series was a nightmare for Origen, as G2 eSports beat them in 25 minutes. Even though Patrick gave his all to secure the game of the side as he got the most CS in 15 minutes, 144, it was not enough to stop the Samurai. Wunder utterly dominated the top lane and it was enough to win the series.
