The Last-Second Play That Destroyed League's Greatest Dynasty

When history is on the line, it’s impossible to know which player will be called upon to make the play that changes everything. And the best teams can count on any of their stars stepping up when it counts. G2 Esports was that kind of team – and in 2019, they had a habit of shattering expectations. Their Spring Split dominance had shown the new team could work. Perkz and Caps, two of the finest stars European League had ever produced, could play side-by-side. Key to their success was their ability to play picks in unusual roles, making their draft far harder to counter than a typical team. While it truly felt like this 2019 G2 Esports roster wasn’t a fluke, it was still hard to believe they could win it all. Europe hadn’t won Worlds since 2011. But G2 were re-defining what League of Legends could be. And their opponents were nowhere near ready.
