LoL: LEC Spring Split 2025 - Team of the week 2

Week 2 of the LEC Spring Split wrapped up with few surprises, aside from Rogue’s win over Team Vitality on Day 1. Karmine Corp opened strong with a 2-0 victory against Team BDS but couldn’t carry the momentum into Day 2, falling to a well-organized Fnatic. G2 Esports handed Team Heretics their first loss of the week, with Heretics later falling again to Movistar KOI. BDS bounced back with a solid win over SK Gaming, while GIANTX cruised past Rogue to close out the week. G2 now sit alone at the top of the LEC standings, closely followed by KC, Fnatic, and BDS. At the other end of the table, Rogue find themselves in last place with a 1-3 record.

The Sheep Esports' LEC Team of the Week features Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik in the toplane, Rudy "SkewMond" Semaan in the jungle, Joseph Joon "Jojopyun" Pyun in midlane, with Elias "Upset" Lipp and Álvaro "Alvaro" Fernández del Amo joining forces in the botlane.

The BO3 against Team Heretics was another strong showing from G2’s toplaner, the Topfather, who outclassed Carl Ulsted "Carlsen" Carlsen with a solid Gnar in Game 1 and a dominant Renekton in Game 2. Heretics tried twice to shut him down in the sidelane, but both attempts backfired—first with support from SkewMond’s Ivern, then thanks to a clutch Ashe arrow from Hans Sama onto Flakked’s Miss Fortune, giving BB the opportunity to clean up both fights. His consistency is remarkable, and after an impressive Winter Split, he’s once again proving to be G2’s most dependable player.

G2’s topside delivered a strong performance in this BO, with SkewMond ending the series with a combined score of 7/1/31 while piloting some unconventional picks—Dr. Mundo in Game 1 and Ivern in Game 2. His map presence was impactful throughout, and in the post-game interview, Rudy mentioned that Mundo is currently in a great spot and he fully intends to keep abusing the pick until Riot nerfs it. The ability to flex the pick between him and his toplaner also adds another valuable card to G2’s drafting arsenal. After a shaky start to the Winter Split that he eventually recovered from, the Franco-Lebanese jungler continues to scale and prove that he fully deserves his spot in the LEC.

A statement series at last for the American midlaner. After a rough Winter Split and a slow adaptation period, it finally looks like Jojo is starting to show his true level. MKOI looked solid against the rookie-filled Team Heretics lineup, especially in Game 2, which the Spanish squad controlled from start to finish. Jojo’s Taliyah performance was particularly strong, snowballing a gold lead after a well-executed fight and taking over around the 21-minute mark. His Yone in Game 1 was also promising, and the synergy with Javier "Elyoya" Prades Batalla is becoming more and more apparent. Overall, a reassuring BO3 for MKOI, who had kicked off the split with back-to-back losses to G2 and KC.

Fnatic bounced back well after their surprising loss to SK, making a strong statement with a 2-1 win over Karmine Corp. Things didn’t start off great for Upset and his teammates, with KC taking the first game in convincing fashion. But Games 2 and 3 were all about Fnatic, who showed real resilience and stepped up as a unit. Elias, in particular, stood out—he didn’t die a single time in the last two games, finishing with an impressive 13/0/19 combined score on Miss Fortune and Kai’Sa. Fnatic’s success came from playing as one, threatening KC from every angle. Often criticized for a lack of aggression in the past, the German ADC is now showing a much bolder side since joining Fnatic.

Since their promotion to the LEC, the Spanish botlane has only continued to improve, proving week after week that they’re not to be underestimated. And if one of the two is starting to stand out—perhaps accentuated by the general level of European support, which is below other roles such as ADC, midlane or jungle—it’s Alvaro. The 21-year-old support keeps turning heads and is increasingly part of the conversation when it comes to the top supports in the LEC. His performance yesterday against Team Heretics was especially noteworthy: Rakan in Game 1, Alistar in Game 2—both games saw him consistently initiate fights and set the tempo. With just two deaths across the entire series, Alvaro is steadily cementing himself as a rising force among European supports.
