LEC 2024 Winter Tierlist After Week 2 – The Blue Wall is Crumbling

Karmine Corp tried their greatest, however they couldn’t enhance their rank in both the LEC or the LEC 2024 Winter Tierlist.

There’s just one week left of the 2024 LEC Winter Season, so two groups solely have 3 matches till they need to take an undesirable break from competitors. Nevertheless, the forst group of the Playoffs have been locked in, with 4 squads standing on the point of greatness.

Final week, extra matches turned out the best way they had been anticipated to, however there have been nonetheless quite a few surprises. Fortunately, you may comply with the ability degree of the groups within the LEC 2024 Winter Tierlist – so let’s dive proper into it!

LEC 2024 Winter Tierlist After Week 2

10. Karmine Corp (0)

The one group within the LEC which didn’t handle to attain a single victory thus far, Karmine Corp has remained within the final spot on our tierlist. Sadly, this time round they will’t even blame it on the matches, as they confronted a lot “simpler” opponents than final week. Whereas Bo had a standout recreation on Sunday, Workforce Vitality nonetheless defeated them, they usually seemed extra disorganized than earlier than in opposition to each GIANTX and Workforce Heretics. Whereas they don’t seem to be strictly out but, KC principally need to prepare for Spring – probably with some roster modifications, as this group simply doesn’t work.

9. Rogue (-1)

Final week, we talked about how Rogue didn’t win in opposition to G2 Esports in Week 1, moderately G2 Esports beat themselves – which is changing into even clearer after the org’s 0-3 Week 2. In the event that they face troublesome decisions, Larssen and Comp simply default to consolation with none plan for the sport, Szygenda is struggling, and even the brand new gamers drag the group down as an alternative of lifting it up. Whereas they need to be significantly better than KC, they virtually look as unhealthy as the latest group within the LEC, which is predicted to be struggling.

8. GIANTX (-1)

GIANTX solely managed to attain one win – and that was in opposition to KCorp, who I’ll now let off the hook, as Week 2 was sufficient of a beating. Nonetheless, Odoamne and co. misplaced their different 2 matches in below half-hour, which is alarming to say the least. Whereas Patrik appears superb (and even good) on most matches, IgNar and Peach don’t actually discover their footing, and Odo additionally has subpar performances. Hopefully it’s simply the winter climate, as we’ve seen what the Weakside King is able to final Summer season – possibly he wakes up earlier this 12 months?

7. MAD Lions KOI (-2)

The laborious a part of the tierlist comes a lot sooner than final week, as MAD Lions KOI didn’t have a foul displaying, only a laborious spherical. They couldn’t crack G2 even with Elyoya’s nice efficiency, and Workforce BDS was merely higher in teamfights – nonetheless, they beat Rogue with ease. MDK has a stable id with their aggressive early recreation, but when they don’t seem to be able to adapting to a mid- and lategame meta, they may battle because the LEC progresses.

6. Workforce Vitality (+4)

Workforce Vitality rose from their ashes in Week 2. After an abysmal Week 1, they defeated Rogue and Karmine Corp – which might be interpreted as them kicking opponents whereas they’re nonetheless down, however after they defeated G2 Esports in a dominant trend, I consider that there’s extra to them than the primary spherical has proven. Whereas the gamers nonetheless make silly errors (particularly Vetheo and Carzzy), they’re beginning to work collectively as a group, which is nice to see after final Summer season.

5. SK Gaming (-4)

The largest fall from final week, SK Gaming didn’t accomplish that sizzling in Week 2. Although Nisqy and his teammates principally stomped GIANTX, Workforce Heretics and Workforce BDS made quick work of them. They tried some new methods with Nisqy returning to his Gragas mid and taking part in Lucian – Milio within the botlane with Irrelevant’s Rumble on prime, but it surely didn’t work out. SK Gaming has a really efficient type which they shouldn’t change up – at the least in the interim. Nevertheless, their Playoff is nearly assured, in order that they don’t have anything to worry.

4. Fnatic (0)

Fnatic stayed at 4^th place as they completed with a 2-1 standing once more. This time, it wasn’t SK Gaming that proved to be too laborious to take down, however Workforce BDS, who performed one of many quickest video games within the Winter Season in opposition to the black and orange squad. Nevertheless, Fnatic scored the factors they needed to, displaying Rogue and GIANTX why they’re probably the greatest groups in EMEA. Noah and Jun seemed nice in each of their wins, with (playoff-level) Humanoid being the primary professional to play Hwei within the LEC. Fnatic continues to be a real gatekeeper for groups, they usually appear to be simply ramping up.

3. Workforce Heretics (+3)

Workforce Heretics tailored to the meta completely, taking part in issues just like the Seraphine-Senna botlane and the Udyr prime. Their drafts additionally look stable as they sown in opposition to Karmine Corp, who couldn’t play the match after the primary quarter-hour have handed. After all, they needed to lose to G2 Esports, who they give the impression of being increasingly more alike – in any case, they’re nonetheless worthy of the title G3. However will they depart this nickname behind and solidify themselves as their very own factor moderately than a much less constant G2?

2. G2 Esports (0)

G2 Esports did the humorous once more – if the humorous is dropping a recreation they need to’ve received. When the Kings of Europe confronted Workforce Vitality, they put collectively a moderately robust draft, however made loads of errors in each the early and midgame, which prevented them from scaling with their Solo lane carries, rendering their double assist botlane ineffective. In the meantime, Carzzy and Hylissang hit it out of the park with their Nilah-Senna bot, whereas Vetheo had a masterclass recreation with the brand new Corki construct. G2 received their different 2 matches, beating related and even stronger groups, MDK and TH – however their consistency might additionally use work – when are THEY going to change into greater than a much less constant G2?

1. Workforce BDS (+2)

Workforce BDS solely moved up on the tierlist for the reason that 2024 LEC Winter Season began. Adam and his teammates have been extremely good thus far, getting a 3-0 spherical in Week 2. Whereas they’re thought of an early recreation wildcard squad, they confirmed self-discipline and nice teamfighting in opposition to SK Gaming, with Ice and nuc evolving to among the greatest gamers on their roles. Workforce BDS have grown immensely since they entered the LEC again in 2022 – each the org and the gamers which have been with the group for a number of seasons now, which culminated in them qualifying for the LEC 2024 Winter Playoffs first out of all groups!

The LEC will return on January 27^th with the final spherical of the common season. With solely BDS certified, there’s nonetheless room for 7 groups within the second half of Winter, the Playoffs. Fnatic, G2 Esports, SK Gaming and Workforce Heretics just one win away from locking in. Nevertheless, the decrease half of the roster nonetheless must struggle in the event that they need to get in. Test again to ESTNN subsequent week to see how the tierlist modifications!
