Meeting statistics

The current form of Team Heretics

We’ll begin the match analysis with Team Heretics, who are given the role of the underdogs in this match by USD betting sites.

Since 2022, Heretics has been a part of the LEC organization. They started competing in the LEC series of events a year later.

The Spanish team revamped their lineup by adding some elite European players in order to take on the strongest teams in the region following a string of disappointing results in the previous campaign. Heretics had a rough time in the LEC Winter 2024 group stage. The team started the group stage, moving up rather quickly, but eventually faltered to 4-5. Their greatest accomplishment in the event was making it to the playoffs, finishing in the top 8.

At the conclusion of the LEC Spring 2024 regular season, Heretics were among the top 4. They played BDS in the first round of the playoffs, and after losing 0-2, they were sent to the lower bracket. Heretics had faced SK Gaming in a life-or-death encounter in the opening round; they prevailed 2-1 in a difficult match. Fnatic was an insurmountable obstacle for Heretics in the next game, and The Spaniards lost an opportunity to appear in the Mid-Season Invitational 2024.

Team Heretics finished the first two weeks at LEC Summer 2024 with a record of 2-3. Sejuani (4 matches, 100% wins) from the jungle is their most successful champion.

The current form of SK Gaming

We examine SK Gaming’s form to wrap up our match analysis.

SK Gaming performed solidly during the LEC Winter 2024 group stage. The German squad had a 5-4 record throughout the regular season. They were sent to the lower bracket of the playoffs after losing to Vitality in the opening round of the postseason. Even though they were theoretical underdogs, SK Gaming outperformed Heretics in the LB opening round. Unfortunately, their path through the LEC Winter 2024 playoffs came to an end after they lost to Fnatic in a playoffs second-round encounter.

The LEC Spring 2024 playoffs were made possible by both luck and virtue. SK Gaming needed to defeat Rogue in a tiebreaker in order to advance to the main stage. The Germans fought hard against Vitality in the opening playoff match, ripping one card off, but it wasn’t enough to help them win. Similar circumstances arose in the encounter with Heretics, propelling SK Gaming into the top 8.

With a 4-1 record after two weeks of LEC Summer 2024, SK Gaming has a practically guaranteed postseason berth. Sejuani and Eliza are SK Gaming’s most successful champions. Both champions have appeared in the forest twice and each won both matches.

Head-to-head

Four prior games between the organizations occurred in the 2024 season. Three times, Heretics prevailed.
