GIANTX vs Vitality ends with a 3-0 win to knock the LEC’s first seed out of Spring Playoffs.

GiantX sweep Vitality out of LEC Playoffs
Vitality had already dropped from the upper bracket after a 0-3 loss to Movistar KOI. The lower-bracket meeting with GIANTX was supposed to be a reset chance, but the series instead became another straight-games defeat.
GIANTX won the series 3-0 and now move on to face Karmine Corp in the next best-of-five. Vitality are out.
ISMA was named series MVP after a strong showing in the jungle, with GIANTX finding the better fights and cleaner setups throughout the series. Jackies also stood out, especially in Game 1, where his Viktor finished 10/1/7 as GIANTX closed a 40-minute opener.

Reddit reacts to Vitality’s playoff collapse
The r/leagueoflegends post-match thread summed up the damage pretty quickly: Vitality lost 0-3, were eliminated, and GIANTX moved on to Karmine Corp.
The reaction was about what you would expect. Vitality finished first in the regular season, then went 0-6 in playoffs and finished fifth. Jackies and ISMA got plenty of praise, while Vitality took most of the heat for their teamfighting and objective calls.
The fan reaction was sharp because Vitality did not win a single playoff game across two best-of-five series. That makes the sweep by GIANTX more than a one-series upset, it turns Vitality’s Spring playoff run into one of the most dramatic collapses of the 2026 LEC season so far.
