Team Vitality defeated G2 Esports with a score of 2 to 1 during the first day of the third week of the LEC Spring Split 2026. After this convincing victory, jungler Lyncas spoke about the team’s preparation, mid-game management and the performance of his toplaner.
A landmark victory for Team Vitality in the LEC
Team Vitality won its clash in three rounds against G2 Esports as part of the regular season of the LEC Spring split 2026. At the end of this meeting, jungler Lyncas answered SjokzÂ’s questions to analyze the dynamics of the series, the seriousness of his team and the evolution of their level of play against the big names of the European league.
The appearance of the meeting and strategic adaptation
The balance of power between the two teams fluctuated throughout the meeting. Lyncas looks back on the mistakes of their opponents during the first game, before explaining the difficulties encountered by Vitality during the second round. He details this dynamic: “During the first game, they threw it a bit, we had the impression that they were perhaps playing with fear in their stomachs. So, for the second round, we probably thought that we could reach the mid game despite a weak early game, but that was not the case. They have really raised their level. HAS”
The team was able to correct the situation during the deciding round. The jungler attributes this final success to a better draft and a controlled transition. He says: “I think it’s just good execution of the draft. The draft was good after getting past the start of the game and it was pretty clean gameplay. HAS”
An uninhibited and particularly studious collective
Often singled out in the past for its errors in the mid game or its lack of discipline, the Vitality team displays a new face this season. Lyncas insists on the rigor of work within the group, despite the extroverted image of certain players. He said: “Every bad thing we do, we revisit it, and even though we’re fun players and a fun team to watch, which I really enjoy, in the game we’re all very serious. We all really want to win, so we take it all very seriously. HAS”
This rigor translates into increased confidence during major meetings. Faced with a historic structure like G2 Esports, the jungler says he does not feel any particular pressure. He explains his state of mind: “I think we are a very good team, so we don’t really feel any pressure. I think today we are able to compete with the best teams, so it doesn’t matter who we play against. HAS”
The domination noticed on the toplane
The series was also marked by the individual performance of Naak Nako on the toplane. Voted best player of the match, Vitality’s top laner gained the upper hand over his counterpart throughout the series. Lyncas salutes the level of his teammate while noting his particularly aggressive and assertive style of play. He illustrates this approach by returning to a specific action from the second round: “In each game, he outclassed BB. When he first died, he had 2,200 gold on him and he canceled his back around ten times because he didn’t want to lose three minions. I’ll tell him he should have returned to base, but he doesn’t care, so it doesn’t matter. HAS”
