The LEC returns on June 17, with Team Vitality taking on the MAD Lions in the first super week of the 2022 Summer Split. The European league will begin off the League of Legends competition with some unique matchups, and the opening day of the split will conclude with a best-of-one between Rogue and Fnatic.
On the first day of the competition, the current title holders G2 will face Astralis, who closed out the Spring Split in the last position. LEC fans will have to wait until the end of the second day of the split to see G2 battle against Rogue in a 2022 LEC Spring Split finals rematch.
