The sixth week of the LEC 2026 Spring Split is in the books, and the playoff field is locked. Six teams have wrapped their regular season; the four remaining — KC, G2, MKOI and GX — travel to Madrid this weekend for the final roadshow of the split, hosted by MKOI. Fnatic are out. Vitality sit top at 8-1, for now. Here is what stood out.
Fnatic: eliminated, despite Upset
Fnatic are mathematically out after the 1-2 loss to Vitality and MKOI winning against Shifters. There was some progress this week, mostly in the early game, but it never added up to the wins they needed. Fnatic can essentially only execute front-to-back, and every attempt to deviate from that template has unraveled in midgame. He pointed to limited champion pools across the roster, which lock Fnatic into hyper-carry compositions with weak-side top — and leave the team almost no room to play the opposite.
