BDS meets G2 again

BDS is a new team that has performed very well in the European LEC in the past two years. It ranked first in the regular season of the 2023 Spring Split and represented LEC in the S13 World Finals. It ranked in the top three in all three seasons of the 2024 Winter, Spring and Summer Splits. Although it gives people a sense of potential, their winning rate in the key Bo5 in the playoffs is very low. To put it simply, they do not have the ability to win the championship, especially when facing G2, which is basically a father-son game.

This year, the European LEC only has 3 spots for the World Finals. With G2 getting a direct pass, there are only 2 tickets left, so the competition is very fierce. Currently, in addition to G2, the other major teams competing for spots are Fnatic, MAD and BDS. Since the ranking of the LEC annual finals under the new European competition system determines the quota, these three teams must work hard to enter the finals.

MAD suddenly upset

Although MAD performed well in the winter season, they almost completely failed in the spring and summer seasons. They advanced to the LEC annual finals relying on their winter points advantage, but they defeated G2 3-2 in the first round and sent them to the loser group. This big upset not only made the winner's group final become MAD vs. Fnatic, but also made the loser group welcome the championship-level opponent G2. As a result, the unlucky BDS ran into G2's gun again.

BDS has lost to G2 in the past two years

BDS has played against G2 7 times in the playoffs in the past two years, and BDS lost all of them! The winning rate is 0. Whether it is Bo3 or Bo5, BDS has never won, and many times as long as they are overturned in one game, BDS will be swept 3-0 by G2. There is a very vivid metaphor between BDS and G2. After losing a game, BDS will start to get angry, and then lose their mind and be crushed by G2. Almost all the matches between the two teams you see are like this.

Isn't it very similar to the former JDG and BLG of LPL, which everyone jokingly calls "Prime Minister" and "Meng Huo"? What's more coincidental is that the two sides have actually played against each other 7 times in the past two years, and G2 won every time, completing seven captures.

G2 wins and BDS will miss the global finals

After the European LEC changed the competition system, only the ranking of the annual finals is considered, and the points are only used as an entry tool to participate in this year-end event. Although MAD performed very poorly in the past spring and summer seasons, it was because they defeated G2 unexpectedly that they entered the top three with at least a guaranteed loss. Therefore, as long as BDS cannot beat G2, then MAD will advance to the global finals with G2 and Fnatic. Although BDS's overall performance throughout the year remained in the top three, it was a pity that its luck was a bit bad.

Interestingly, this is almost exactly the same as last year's story, because last year BDS lost to Fnatic in the final round before the loser bracket, but because Europe still had 4 spots last season, BDS participated in the S13 qualifiers as the fourth seed. But this year, with only 3 spots, they lost to G2 in the loser bracket and were fourth again, and this time they can't participate in S14. Given that they have never beaten G2, this unlucky guy is likely to prepare for S15. Unless they are like MAD and have a miracle upset.
