G2 Esports vs Team BDS Prediction: No Surprises in the Match

Friday, July 29, will be the first day of Week 6 of the League of Legends European Championship 2022 Summer tournament. G2 Esports and Team BDS will clash in this match.

League of Legends European Championship 2022 Summer (LEC 2022 Summer) is the second split in the fourth year of the rebranded League of Legends European Professional League. Ten teams will compete in the group stage for the right to enter the playoffs, where a prize fund of €200,000 and a ticket to Worlds 2022 will be awarded. This split takes place from June 17 to August 14, 2022.  

G2 Esports: Time to Wake Up

This split was good for G2 Esports. The guys won all three matches in the first week, where G2 Esports tried to stop Astralis, Rogue, and Excel. In the second week, the guys had less success. G2 Esports lost to Team BDS in a tight encounter, ending their win streak of three games. At the end of the week, G2 Esports woke up, beating Team Vitality quite quickly, and began to contest first place with Excel. The third week of G2 Esports did not start well. The guys in a tense meeting lost to MAD Lions. At the end of the week, G2 Esports also lost to Fnatic, which dropped them even lower in the overall standings. At the beginning of week four, G2 Esports received their third loss in a row. This time they were beaten by SK Gaming, who had their player back after an illness. At the end of the week, G2 Esports fell to Misfits Gaming, 4-5. Week 5 began with a break in their losing streak. After defeating Astralis, the guys didn't stop but improved even more. After defeating Rogue, G2 Esports secured their winning streak and moved to fourth place in the overall standings. Today, G2 Esports will meet Team BDS, who are not showing promising results.

For G2 Esports, the phoenix rebirth that the team needed for quite a long time is now underway. Initially, everything was pretty good. Since 2018, G2 began not only to get to Worlds but also to take the prizes, coming closer and closer to the trophy. In 2019, the Europeans were stopped by FunPlus Phoenix in the finals, who took the meet 3-1 on the cards, and in 2018 and 2020, G2 Esports was ranked 3-4, but that all changed in the 2021 season. Perkz was replaced by Rekkles, who previously played for G2's direct LEC trophy rival, Fnatic. Except that this replacement was not suitable for the German organization. After finishing 3rd in the Spring Split and 4th in the Summer Split, G2 Esports failed to qualify for Worlds for the first time since 2016. After this upsetting defeat, the management decided to make replacements, leaving only Jankos and caPs on the main roster.

G2 Esports welcomed Broken Blade, who previously played in the LEC for Schalke 04 and in the LCS for TSM, as well as two young players who came from the EU Masters - Flakked and Targamas. With the renewed squad, G2 Esports started the 2022 Spring Split confidently, going 5-2 at the end of Week 3. After finishing the season 11-7, and finishing fourth in the overall standings, G2 Esports advanced to the playoff stage. The playoffs did not start well for G2 Esports. Their 3-1 loss to Fnatic at the start sent the Europeans to the bottom of the table, but the real magic began there. Team Vitality, Misfits Gaming, Fnatic and Rogue lost 3-0, so G2 Esports headed to MSI 2022. The Mid-Season Invitational itself started very well for G2 Esports. They made it through the group stage without a loss, but the Rumble stage was a bit of a mess. After finishing third in the Rumble stage, G2 Esports made the playoffs, but lost to T1 in the first round. There were no lineup changes before the summer split.

Team BDS: the Last Place

This split for Team BDS did not start too well. In the opening match, the guys gave away an offensive game to SK Gaming, who turned the tide in a long meeting. The second game day went without a swing but with the same result. Astralis beat their opponents without any problems. On the third game day, Team BDS met again with a tight game, and it didn't go in favor of Team BDS. Team Vitality sent the boys to a 0-3 score. Week 2 began with a very close win against G2 Esports. The final match of the second week was less successful than last week. Fnatic beat the guys in a very tight encounter, 1-4. The third week started with another defeat. This time Misfits Gaming won Team BDS without much trouble, thus sending them to last place. At the end of the week, the guys met with Excel, who defeated their opponents without much difficulty. Week 4 began with another loss, setting Team BDS on a streak of four losses. At the end of the week, the guys met with Rogue, who continued their streak with their seventh win in a row. Week 5 also continued on a sour note. The guys first fell to SK Gaming, and then Astralis won over them as well. Today Team BDS will face G2 Esports, which will be very difficult to deal with.

We don't know much about BDS. In May 2020, Team BDS joined the competitive League of Legends, gaining a slot in the second division of the French league, replacing Bastille Legacy. That same season, the team won its debut season with a 13/-/5 result, leading to a move to France's premier league, the LFL. In June 2021, it was announced that the Swiss team had secured a spot in the LEC by purchasing the FC Schalke 04 Esports franchise slot for $26.5 million. The team announced its first lineup on Dec. 20, reuniting the Karmine Corp trio (who play in the LFL) Adam, Cinkrof, and xMatty, and also signed FC Schalke 04 cybersports duo NUCLEARINT and LIMIT.

Team BDS started in the LEC Spring Split with this lineup, but the results were much worse. Finishing in ninth place, with a score of 4-14, the guys missed their first playoff appearance. Before the summer split, the organization replaced two players.
