LEC Power Rankings: 2021 Summer Split Week 4

With half of this Summer Split’s games officially in the books, it’s pretty clear that the LEC is still trying to find its bearings. Eight of the 10 teams in the league shifted positions in our rankings this week, with the top and bottom squads remaining perfectly in place like two pieces of bread in an ever-changing sandwich.  Still, there’s nine games left on the board for each team in the league, and by the time those games are played, we could easily see these rankings shift even more dramatically.

Rogue exact revenge on MAD Lions, claim LEC summer week 4 victory in first meeting since Spring Finals

In their first meeting since last split’s LEC Grand Finals, MAD Lions and Rogue played at the level that many fans expected today. The hard-fought 41-minute game between the arguably two best squads in Europe this season ended with Rogue sneaking out a victory in the late game, reversing the narrative surrounding last split’s results and giving Rogue a much-needed boost at the top of the LEC standings.  Despite the immense length of the game (the 41:52 finish time was just 20 seconds short of the longest game of the

Excel pick up huge victory over G2 in week 4 of 2021 LEC Summer Split

If you’re a G2 Esports fan, it might be time to start sweating a little bit.

We had touted Rogue, G2 Esports, and MAD Lions as three deadlocked teams who would control the ceiling of the league throughout the summer. But just three weeks into the split, that prediction has been upended. In fact, MAD and G2 were this week’s biggest movers, with
