On February 3, 2025, at 21:15 EET, a match between G2 Esports and Team Heretics will take place as part of the group stage of LEC Winter 2025. The match will be played in a best-of-1 format, and we have prepared a prediction for the outcome of this encounter.

Current Form of the Teams

G2

G2 Esports are in fourth place in the group with a 4-3 record. The team experienced some difficulties at the start of the tournament due to roster changes, affecting their stability. However, in the last three matches, G2 managed to secure victories over GIANTX and Team Vitality, losing only to Fnatic. Despite this result, they have already secured a spot in the playoffs, which may affect their motivation in the remaining games.

Team Heretics

Team Heretics are in sixth position in the group with a 3-4 record. The team continues to fight for a playoff spot, and each remaining matchup is crucial for them. In the last three encounters, they suffered defeats from Karmine Corp and GIANTX, but sensationally defeated KOI, one of the LEC favorites. This victory was obtained just yesterday, which may give them additional confidence before the match against G2.

Match Prediction

Taking into account the current form of the teams and their tournament standings, G2 appear to be the favorites in this confrontation. They have already secured a spot in the playoffs, which can work both in their favor and against them – possible lineup rotation or gameplay experiments. At the same time, Team Heretics are in a critical situation: they need to win to maintain their chances for the top-8. Their recent victory over KOI could be a source of additional motivation.

However, in terms of consistency, G2 look more favorable - they have won two out of the last three matches, losing only to Fnatic, who are in excellent form right now. Meanwhile, Team Heretics have lost twice and only showed strength in the last game against KOI.

A tense confrontation is expected, but the higher level of execution and experience of G2 should bring them victory.
