FNC vs MDK – LEC Season Finals Preview

The LEC Season Finals took an unexpected turn in the first round as MDK, a team that struggled throughout the summer split, managed to edge out G2 in a thrilling 5-game series. With MDK still in the upper bracket, their chances of securing a spot at Worlds 2024 are looking promising.

A victory against FNC would guarantee MDK a ticket to Worlds. Even in the event of a loss, MDK could still qualify if BDS fails to defeat G2 in the lower bracket. The odds seem to be in MDK’s favor.

However, MDK will need to showcase their potential against FNC if they aim to secure a higher seeding at Worlds. Let’s dissect the key elements of this upcoming series.

Series Breakdown

MDK’s triumph over G2 was largely attributed to the outstanding performance of their top laner, Myrwn. Employing unconventional champion picks like Zeri, Smolder, and Nidalee, Myrwn proved to be a game-changer. The team’s bootcamp seems to have paid off, giving them a strategic advantage.

When facing FNC, the spotlight will be on the top and jungle matchups. With formidable players like Razork and Elyoya, MDK will rely on their jungler to set the pace. Myrwn’s impact with unique picks could be a deciding factor, challenging Oscarinin to counter effectively.

On the other hand, FNC demonstrated a solid grasp of the meta in their series against Team BDS, showcasing risky picks in Game 3. The team’s confidence and performance were commendable, yet uncertainties linger around Noah, the Korean ADC. FNC’s success may hinge on his performance during crucial moments in the match.

Despite MDK’s innovative drafting, FNC appears more consistent and formidable overall. Barring unforeseen circumstances, FNC seems poised to triumph over Ibai’s team.
