At the end of the third week of the
LEC Summer Split, we already know the first team to qualify for the playoffs.
(6-0) have secured their place in the next stage of the competition, closely followed by
(5-1), who have yet to mathematically guarantee their spot despite picking up two wins this week. The standings are gradually taking shape, with teams such as
and
holding their ground this week despite the challenges they faced.
These four teams were among the most impressive sides of the week and therefore make up
Sheep Esports' Team of the Week, with a maximum of two players per team. The lineup features toplaner
, jungler
, midlaner
, AD Carry
, and support
.
Toplaner: Oscarinin (GIANTX) — MVP
The Spanish toplaner made a strong return to the LEC this week. After remaining relatively quiet during the opening week, he secured his first series MVP since returning to the league against Shifters, where he stood out on picks such as Twisted Fate and, most notably, Warwick, which proved decisive in securing Game 3. He was quieter in the series against Movistar KOI, but still held his own without making costly mistakes and helped his team secure the victory.
Jungler: Isma (GIANTX)
Unlike Oscarinin, Isma was far more decisive in the victory over KOI. His partnership with midlaner Adam "
Jackies" Jeřábek proved instrumental in making the difference. Consistently aggressive and willing to take the initiative even when his team was playing from behind, his efforts eventually paid off as he found the opening that allowed GIANTX to complete their comeback in Game 2 by catching
. He had already put together a strong performance against Shifters a few days earlier, displaying the same proactive style.
Midlaner: FIESTA (Team Vitality)
Team Vitality's new midlaner makes his first appearance in a Team of the Week just three weeks after making his LEC debut. Despite securing only one win this week, the Korean midlaner delivered a strong performance in Vitality's victory over SK Gaming. He made the difference in Game 1 by building a significant lead on Viktor before taking advantage of a mistake from his opponents to quickly establish a lead on Akali in the second game.
AD Carry: Hans Sama (G2 Esports)
No ADC truly stood out from the rest of the LEC this week, but the multiple-time European champion still delivered a more than solid performance that met his usual high standards. Whether against Team Heretics or NAVI, he made very few mistakes and was rarely caught out of position. Given plenty of freedom to play his game against the Ukrainian organization, he finished the series with the best statistics on his team, including a 79.3% Kill Participation.
Support: Busio (Karmine Corp)
Karmine Corp's support makes his second consecutive appearance in the Team of the Week after another convincing performance in the team's only match of the week against Fnatic. On his signature Bard, he looked extremely fluid and once again played right on the edge, as illustrated by a play in which he left Elias "Upset" Lipp completely out of the action, as well as a well-timed Renata ultimate that turned a skirmish around in Game 2. He finished both games with a combined 1/2/31 scoreline.
