G2 Esports crowned as 2025 LEC Summer champions with sweep over Movistar KOI

G2 Esports, Movistar KOI, and Fnatic will be the LEC's representatives in Worlds 2025.

The Caja Mágica in Madrid played host to an electrifying League of Legends (LoL) showdown at the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) Summer 2025 Final, where G2 Esports and Movistar KOI went head-to-head for the 2025 LEC Summer Championship title.

In front of a packed crowd, G2 left no room for doubt by completing a clean 3–0 sweep to secure their 17th domestic title and lock in the EMEA first seed for Worlds 2025.

It has been one of the most competitive seasons in LEC history, with three different champions across three splits. G2 reached their third straight final of the year, overcoming roster changes and mixed results earlier in the season. This Summer, G2 was consistent throughout, dominating the Group Stage 4-0, to secure an early upper bracket berth into the Playoffs. At the Playoffs, they defeated Karmine Corp 3-1 at the Upper Bracket Semifinals, before defeating KOI 3-1 at the Upper Bracket Final, to make it to the Grand Finals.

On the other hand, Movistar KOI earned their spot in Grand Finals after a strong run at the Playoffs, outplaying Fnatic 3-2, but dropping to the lower bracket after a match against G2 where they only took one game off the series. Once again, they faced Fnatic in the Lower Bracket Finals to  set up a rematch against G2 Esports.

G2 dominate on home soil

When it came down to the grand finals, G2 were in complete control. The team gave their opponents no room for comebacks, sweeping KOI 3–0, to become the 2025 LEC Summer Champions, taking home €40,000.

Rudy “SkewMond” Semaan was notably named the Finals MVP, thanks to an 84.4% kill participation rate and an impressive 16/2/28 KDA. Alongside support Labros “Labrov” Papoutsakis, both of the team’s new signings capped off a breakthrough Summer Split that silenced earlier criticism.

The win also added another milestone for Rasmus “Caps” Winther, who lifted his 15th domestic trophy and continues to extend his unmatched legacy in Europe. Head coach Dylan Falco credited the team’s growth over the year, pointing to adjustments in drafting, pressure management, and team dynamics as keys to their success.

Movistar KOI bow out of the competition in second place, and taking home €25,000 in consolation. They will also be the LEC's second seed into Worlds, alongside Fnatic, who qualified as the region's third seed.
