The Winter Split of the Super League Domino’s is nearing its climax, with only three series left to determine the first champion of the year. Last Thursday, we witnessed the first best-of-five series between VVV and the Heretics, where the Heretics emerged victorious. Today, we have another highly anticipated matchup: Barça versus Giantx Pride. Both teams had a rocky start to the season but have since found their footing, and now they’re just one series away from securing a top-three spot.
Barça, in particular, has undergone a significant transformation. Despite having a strong roster with experienced players like Czekolad and Whiteinn, they struggled to find their game in the early weeks. Czekolad, who was expected to be a key player, didn’t quite live up to expectations, and the team failed to win against top-tier teams. However, Barça has since turned things around, delivering impressive performances in the Swiss phase, including a notable win against Ucam and Movistar Koi Fénix.
One of the highlights of Barça’s recent games was Legolas’ exceptional play, including a quadrakill that secured a crucial victory. The team’s versatility has also been on full display, with Czekolad and Thayger showing significant improvement. It will be interesting to see how Barça fares against Fearless Draft, but they’ve already proven themselves to be a formidable opponent.
Giantx Pride, on the other hand, has had a similar trajectory to Barça. They started the season slowly but have been gaining momentum as the games progressed. The Malaga team entered the Swiss phase as one of the strongest teams, thanks to a impressive winning streak and solid gameplay. Although they were defeated by the Heretics, they bounced back with a convincing win against Ramboot in the LEC Academy.
Giantx Pride’s performance has been the most impressive League of Legends we’ve seen in the Super League, and they’re now just one step away from repeating their best result since 2022. With a win against Barça, they could secure a top-three spot and cement their position as a top contender. The stage is set for an exciting matchup between these two teams, and it will be fascinating to see which one comes out on top.
Barça, from less to more
With only two changes in their roster, Barça generated high expectations as a top team in the competition. However, they didn’t quite live up to the hype in the early weeks. Czekolad, in particular, was expected to be a key player, but his performance was underwhelming. The team struggled to win against top-tier teams, and it seemed like they were still finding their footing.
But Barça has since found their game, and their performance in the Swiss phase has been impressive. They’ve shown that they’re a versatile team capable of adapting to different opponents and situations. The best version of Legolas, Czekolad, and Thayger has been on display, and it will be exciting to see how they fare against Fearless Draft.
Giantx Pride, the sleeping giant
Giantx Pride had a similar dynamic to Barça, with a slow start to the season. However, as the games progressed, they began to find their footing and enter the Swiss phase as one of the strongest teams. Their play deployment has been impressive, and they’ve shown that they’re a force to be reckoned with.
The giants’ highest level of play has been the best League of Legends we’ve seen in the Super League, and they’re now just one step away from repeating their best result since 2022. A win against Barça would secure a top-three spot and cement their position as a top contender. The stage is set for an exciting matchup between these two teams, and it will be fascinating to see which one comes out on top.
