G2 Esports closed out another League of Legends European season in dominant fashion, sweeping Movistar KOI 3-0 in the LEC Summer 2026 grand final on September 20 at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice, France. The result stretched G2’s grip on the region to four consecutive LEC titles and 20 trophies overall, a haul no other organization in League of Legends esports has come close to matching in Europe.
The series was rarely competitive. Game one ended in just 27 minutes as G2 took early control of the map and never allowed Movistar KOI back into it. The bot lane duo finished the opener without conceding a single death, while jungler SkewMond posted a 9/1/4 scoreline on Wukong that gave the rest of the roster room to play aggressively. Support player Labrov was named Finals MVP after dying only twice across the entire three-game series, a stat line that summed up how little space G2 gave its opponent all weekend.
There was also a personal milestone tucked inside the trophy lift. Perkz, who moved into the head coach role in July after a long playing career across several positions for the organization, picked up his first LEC title from the sideline. It capped a rapid turnaround for a coaching staff that only had a few months to prepare the roster for the split’s second half.
For Movistar KOI, the result is a step forward even in defeat. Reaching the final and taking the region’s second seed to Worlds is the club’s best LEC result since its rebrand, and the roster now has several weeks to regroup before the World Championship group draw.
The win locks in G2 as Europe’s first seed for Worlds 2026, with Movistar KOI travelling as the second seed. Both teams now shift their attention to the international stage, where G2 will try to convert a flawless European playoff run into a deep Worlds result, something that has eluded the roster in past years despite its trophy count at home.
The Summer split outcome is already reshaping the conversation among bettors ahead of Worlds 2026. G2 enters the tournament as one of the more heavily backed teams on the outright market after a perfect playoff run, and sportsbooks have started adjusting their lines accordingly.
