It will be a historic moment when the EU LCS Spring Split finals come to Copenhagen this year, as G2 and Fnatic face off in a LoL final for the first time ever.

The two organisations hold almost every LCS title between them, Alliance being the only other team after winning the 2014 Summer Split.

Fnatic currently have the lead with five titles to G2's four but the last four splits have all belonged to the latter. Unlike the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, G2's streak is still in tact however, they aren't the only ones who currently hold that record.

G2's former coach Joey 'Youngbuck' Steltenpool played a large role in the team's previous success but has since jumped ship, becoming Team Director of Fnatic. Now faced with his old organisation, he's more determined than ever to keep his streak alive: 'Winning would mean the world to me, a big reason I signed with Fnatic was because I wanted to be the first person to win five EU LCS splits in a row.

'It is of course very exciting to play against my former team, and a former teammate. When the G2 roster was announced, I could see them being contenders in playoffs but I didn't think they would make it this far. It just goes to show how good Perkz and Ocelote are and have been when it comes to building rosters.'

During his time as a coach, Youngbuck has experienced all the highs and lows that come with the role. While G2 weren't able to replicate their domination on a Worlds stage, Youngbuck says his time with them was a valuable experience which has helped him a lot this Split: 'Related to the game, I learned a ton of things from Mithy and made sure to write them down for future teams. Rhere were also macro related things I wanted to teach the team that were unsuccessful but that I am currently using in Fnatic.

'With the experiences that I gained in G2, I feel I now have the knowledge and confidence to be the leader type when it comes to teaching Fnatic. As a team there are a lot of things we can improve upon, I think we have laid a solid foundation but we are still looking for that breakthrough moment where all the pieces click.

'What I'm trying to teach in terms of gameplay can be broken down into two stages. In the early game I'm teaching the players how to plan, what to plan, who is responsible for which action and verbal cues. Whereas in the mid to late game, I'm teaching set plays which allow us to gain objectives without having to fight or being given a fight.

'A lot of teams struggle with closing out games on stage because in practise, teams with a solid lead are often given picks or fights by the opponent because people try to make big comeback plays. Then when they go on stage the same opponents they practice against suddenly do not offer them the freebies and they have to now rely on good map movement, ward placement, timing of rotations.'

Youngbuck has had a big impact on the team, putting his wealth of experience to good use

And while Youngbuck has a wealth of experience, nothing could have prepared him for sOAZ being forced to drop out of playoffs as he needed an operation. Youngbuck admits it came as a shock but substitute Bwipo is handling things well: 'The players and myself were flabbergasted, some of us witnessed him getting injured but we didn't know what the extent of the injury was until a few hours the doctors informed Soaz that his hand was broken.

'We had zero intention of starting Bwipo in the playoffs, and there was a very slim chance of him playing so his previous stage time had nothing to do with playoffs. He has been very easy to work with, he is the kind of player who takes responsibility for his own mistakes, and sometimes even that of others to keep the morale up.'

It has been a baptism of fire for Bwipo in his debut season, but he hasn't looked flustered so far. Vitality put a lot of pressure on him in the semifinals and Youngbuck thinks we'll see that strategy again in the final: 'He was heavily targeted by Vitality but, in my opinion, to their detriment. They have a solid play-style around the mid lane, 2v2 pushing their advantage on the bot lane but they let go of that in favour of pushing that advantage to the top lane.

Youngbuck admits the sOAZ injury was a shock but has trust in Bwipo's ability ti hold his own

'G2 will probably look to do something similar, but in their case it has been a style they have been favouring for much longer than Vitality so they should be more practiced on it. I think we match very well against G2, however, I do think that this patch is in favour of them because there are a lot of carry top-laners and on top of that, there are a lot of bot lane picks that are very stale.

'We also can't take away the fact that we are playing with an inexperienced substitute in front of 10,000 people against the best top-laner in Europe, who looks to be their primary win condition. However, I still think we are the better team overall, and were it not for the lack of experience I would not be worried for Bwipo, but for Wunder instead.'
