OMEGA League Season 2 to arrive in October 2020

 We are just days away from the end of this amazing event. Even though we are yet to see who will win the OMEGA League: Europe Immortal Division, we already have news about the second season of the OMEGA League. This probably doesn’t come as a surprise as the first season was magnificent.

The event started in the middle of August and it features twelve of the best teams from EU and CIS. The prize pool for this region was $500,000, which made this one of the biggest online Dota 2 events ever.

According to the official information, the second season of this league will also have two divisions. Needless to say, we will once again see a bunch of European and CIS teams, which is always good. However, there are also some pretty notable changes.

The first one is that there won’t be twelve teams anymore. Instead, we will only have ten teams that will play in a round-robin format in the group stage. Once the group stage is over, the top four teams from each will advance to the upper bracket of the playoff. On the other hand, the teams that finish from fifth to eighth will have to battle in the play-in stage. There, they will meet teams from the lower division. Lastly, the last two teams from each group will automatically be moved to the second division.

We still have around a month to go before the actual event begins. However, we already know the names of some of the participants:

  • Team Secret
  • Alliance
  • OG
  • Team Nigma
  • Team Liquid

As for the prize pool, we will once again have a total of $500,000 for the first division and $50,000 for the second. Of course, we will also have qualifiers, which will start on the 28th of October.

G2 is the LEC 2020 Summer Champion, defeating Fnatic 3-0

G2 Esports has claimed victory in the LEC Summer Finals 2020, collecting their eighth championship, and their fourth consecutive title. The victory came over rivals Fnatic, who were also looking for their eighth title. In three dramatic games, G2 were able to capitalise on mistakes in order to become the LEC 2020 Summer Champion.

Things started well for Fnatic. A closely fought game saw both teams misplay, but eventually the raw scaling of Rasmus “Caps” Borregaard Winther would wrap things up.

Game two initially fared better with Oskar “Selfmade” Boderekon on Hecarim. Combined with the rare and unorthodox Zilean top, the spectral centaur could speed his way into ganks and team fights, causing havoc the G2. However, like death and taxes, Caps getting fed is inevitable. After a pair of misplays which saw members of Fnatic caught out of position, G2 were able to take an elder drake and secure the second victory.

Game three started disastrously for Fnatic as Caps zoned Fnatic’s Corki mid, and attempts to stabilize nemesis just let G2 snowball even further. The choice by selfmade to run Ignite/Smite rather than flash robbed the already short ranged graves of a vital piece of mobility, but allowed him to claw back the lead for Fnatic. Some questionable decisions by Mikyx who seemed to try and make up for missing Nautilus hooks by forcing engagements.

A dramatic fight at the Infernal Drake would seem to close things as Caps’ Syndra demolished Fnatic, and the team would attempt to wrap things up from there. But a series of incredible holds from Fnatic delayed G2, until eventually an incredible back door play from Caps would wrap things up.

Taking home the title, G2 must now prepare to head to Worlds 2020. Last year, the squad were the runners up of the entire event. Expectations for the team are another return to the final.
