In League of Legends, the final matches took place in the Spring Split of the LEC 2019. The three LoL matches between G2 Esports and Origen were so one-sided that the host Sjokz caused a stir with a cheeky question.
This was the host’s naughty question: The Belgian host Eefje “Sjokz” Depoortere (31) is a well-known figure in the LoL scene. She repeatedly hosts the broadcasts and is a “Personality.”
After the final, she interviewed the winners of G2 Esports and asked:
Luka, was it difficult for you to lift the trophy? It weighs 14 kilograms. Was it harder for you to lift the trophy than to defeat OG in the final?

The audience responded with a prolonged “Oooh” – the remark must have hit home. They call that a “Burn.”
What a game it was? It was the final of the “LEC Spring Split 2019.” The two best teams in Europe faced off after the season and playoff matches.
In Rotterdam, G2 Esports played against Origen to find out who is the best team in Europe.
And the answer was clear: G2 Esports. The team proved this in front of 15,000 loud spectators present.
How one-sided the match was: G2 was so dominant that multiple records were set in the 3-0:
- The 3rd victory was achieved by the team in 18 minutes and 31 seconds – that was a record victory.
- Overall, G2 Esports won the three matches in 74 minutes and 32 seconds – also a record.
They refer to that as a “Stomp,” because the opponent is stomped into the ground.
How did the games go? The site Dailyesports explains how the three games in LoL unfolded.
- In the first match, Origen put up noticeable resistance and it was a relatively close match. G2 secured victory after a Baron kill.
- In the second game, Origen tried to adjust their strategy by choosing the same bot lane as G2 did in the first match. However, that backfired. G2 quickly gained an advantage and extended it towards the end.
- Match 3 was then a clear affair. Origen wanted to rely on their star ADC, but here the team had no chance and lost in record time.
