Get ready for the final episode of the year of The Best Damn League Show! Thorin, Peter Dun, and special guest Guilhoto break down the most chaotic LEC season in years — from G2’s title win to the explosion of team drama and Riot’s controversial franchising shake-up.
🔥 Key Topics Covered:
⦁ Season recap — Three different split winners (KC, MAD/Koi, G2) and how competitive balance shifted
⦁ Fnatic’s resurgence — How replacing Humanoid with Poby sparked unexpected Worlds qualification
⦁ G2’s rookie jungle star SkewMond and team macro evolution
⦁ Format disasters — Criticism of the summer split BO3 group stage system and massive scheduling gaps
⦁ Org meltdowns & mismanagement: KC’s internal leaks, the Vladi bench saga, BDS’ buyout blunders, Vitality’s underperformance
⦁ LEC’s biggest controversy — Riot allowing Los Ratones into LEC Winter 2026 without paying franchise fees, undermining owner investments
⦁ LEC drama overload — Apples scandal, social media feuds, and even tabloid-style gossip
⦁ Future of Fnatic — Overperforming in playoffs but losing their mystique and long-term recruitment strength
Smash the like button if you enjoyed the breakdown and share your thoughts in the comments — Was Riot right to let Los Ratones in?
