G2 Esports beat Karmine Corp 3-2 in the LEC Spring 2026 grand final on Sunday, claiming back-to-back titles in 2026 and locking EMEA's top seed at the Mid-Season Invitational. Although the final went the full five games, its defining story was the dominance of one player.
"Le diable"
KC's own fans handed Rudy "SkewMond" Semaan his nickname this split: le diable — the devil. On Sunday, he earned it. Across the three games G2 won, SkewMond did not die once. Not a single death.
6/0/3 on Xin Zhao in Game 2. 12/0/9 on Pantheon in Game 4. 12/0/3 on a monstrous Nasus in the decider. Three wins, zero deaths, and a series carried close to single-handedly.
He had called his shot after Game 2. Asked about the nickname, the jungler didn't flinch.
"I hope that I would be able to keep this name after today's series, and I will do my best to make it as hard as possible for them."
He kept it — and took Finals MVP with it.
