Meet the new Team in EU LCS

The EU LCS has a new team to challenge for the Summer Split title, after Misfits Academy beat Fnatic Academy in the Promotion Tournament.

The match was hotly contested, with both Misfits Academy and Fnatic Academy showcasing risky plays and decisions that ultimately cost both teams two losses apiece in the series. The final game decided who would be promoted to the EU LCS, and Fnatic Academy looked to be the dominant team throughout—taking every dragon and Baron from under Misfits’ nose and securing a huge gold lead in the late game. Misfits Academy remained composed to out-scale their opponent and win the final decisive teamfight to win the game.

Fans will likely feel the win is well deserved, after Misfits Academy’s impressive run in the regular season. Misfits Academy beat the undefeated Challenger Series team Schalke 04 to enter the Promotion Tournament.

Fnatic Academy will now face either Origen or Giants Gaming on April 14 for another chance at getting into the EU LCS Summer Split.
