MAD Lions<\/a> beating Rogue in week three in order to secure themselves a place at the top of the standings. <\/p>\nHowever, the battle of these two rookie AD Carries takes an interesting turn when we focus on their statistics in the split so far. MADâs Matyáš “Carzzy” Orság is a damage-oriented carry, with his constant early lane trading, backed up by aggressive support Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser, netting him an average of 453.3 DPM. However, this aggressive playstyle often negatively impacts his ability to farm, with his average CS being 12.4 minions less than his lane opponent at 15 minutes. <\/p>\n
Steven “Hans Sama” Liv, however, is completely the opposite: a slightly lower average DPM of 439.8 counterbalanced by an average of +5 creep score on his lane opponent at 15 minutes. As of right now, itâs impossible to say who is âbetterâ, despite MAD sitting ahead of Rogue in the standings. However, it will be interesting to see whether one of the two can break away in the coming weeks, and secure their spot as the best AD Carry in the LEC. <\/p>\n

Whatâs going on with Fnatic? <\/h2>\n
After an incredibly strong opening weekend, getting them off to a 3-0 start, Fnaticâs performance has crumbled in the past two weeks. They now sit joint fourth in the standings, beating out only Excel and Schalke in terms of total wins.<\/p>\n
Despite a strong early game, netting themselves first blood in 71% of their matches, it feels as though they are unable to translate these leads into meaningful advantages. Despite their high early game kill pressure, in the majority of their games theyâre the first team to lose a tower, and they generally average a CS deficit at 15 minutes; statistics which speak to excessive lane aggression at the expense of game winning advantages, which is particularly noticeable in the support and top lane roles. <\/p>\n
AD Carry Martin “Rekkles” Larsson is responsible for the highest share of the teamâs damage, yet one of his two most player champions is Soraka; a supportive bot laner whose damage output is almost negligible. <\/p>\n
It feels as though Fnatic have lost their identity in favour of needless innovation – an issue which coach Alfonso “mithy” Aguirre RodrÃguez will hopefully be looking to fix moving forward in the LEC. <\/p>\n
