On Monday, H2k-Gaming top laner Andrei "Odoamne" Pascu took to Facebook to offer his analysis of the team's disappointing playoff performance.

H2K finished the 2016 EU Spring Split in second place with a record of 14-4, but would go on to lose to both Origen and Fnatic, to finish the Spring Playoffs in fourth.

Odoamne said that in practice matches, H2K's performance started to dip as much as a week before their Semifinal, and they were "barely keeping a positive win record."

"Things went downhill but we managed to barely bring it together a day before our series and bring our morale higher for the OG series," he wrote. "[B]ut our gameplay was on a whole different level than what we showed in the regular season."

Summing up H2K's series against OG as "really poor," he identified a number of mistakes that they made throughout the series, including two failed tower dives and a poor wave bounce in Game 4 of the series.

"They pretty much did a better job than us at punishing mistakes since we kept missing every opportunity to make good plays and took the impossible ones at starting fights," he concluded.

Following their loss to OG, H2K had to regroup to face Fnatic in the third place match the following week. They forced a Game 5 and were poised to reverse-sweep Fnatic, but they lost the final game due to "a ridiculously bad teamfight due to miscommunication and lack of patience."

"Our split just collapsed at the end," Odoamne said. "Two 3-2 series and two weeks of worst form we ever been in ruined 3 months of hard work."

Despite a sad end to the Spring Split, Odoamne is looking forward to returning to the LCS stronger than before.

"We ended up failing in this split, but not without realizing what held us back from winning the whole thing," he said. "I’m confident that this split will be better than our previous one."
