MKOI defeated KC in five games and successfully advanced to MSI, adding another seat for Europe

On June 8, in the lower bracket final of the LEC Spring Split, the European team MKOI defeated its old rival KC 3-2 in a fierce five-game battle, not only winning the qualification to the final, but also becoming the fourth team in the world to lock in the qualification for the 2025 MSI Vancouver Station. This victory is not only a strong proof of MKOI's overall strength, but also lays a solid foundation for their upcoming World Cup journey.

This season, MKOI did not make many personnel adjustments, with only one key reinforcement - they brought in the famous North American midfielder Jojopyun from EG and C9 . This signing also made him the first North American foreign aid in LEC history, marking another major attempt by LEC teams under the trend of globalization. Jojopyun 's joining quickly brought significant results. MKOI ranked third with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses in the regular season , showing strong team coordination and competitiveness that cannot be underestimated.

In the first round of the playoffs, KC took the initiative to play against MKOI , intending to reverse the previous disadvantage through precise targeting. However, MKOI showed strong ability to withstand pressure, winning 3-2 in five rounds and successfully advancing to the winner's group final. In this round of matches, they encountered the European powerhouse G2 . Although they lost 1-3 in the end , their overall performance was still remarkable.

In the loser's bracket final, MKOI faced KC again. This time, after a fierce tug-of-war in the early stages, MKOI relied on excellent teamfight execution and individual player operations to finally win the final game, defeating the opponent 3-2 again , successfully completing " revenge " and sending himself to the final stage of the LEC Spring Split.

With this crucial victory, MKOI officially advanced to the 2025 MSI Vancouver Station, becoming the fourth team to secure a seat after LPL , LCK and G2 . It is worth mentioning that they will also represent Europe in the upcoming Esports World Cup League of Legends event in July .

For MKOI , this is not only a breakthrough in competition, but also a reward for the team's hard work for a year. Whether it is the adjustment and response on the field or the personal growth of the players, MKOI has proved his competitiveness in the European division with practical actions. In the upcoming MSI and World Cup, MKOI 's performance is also worth looking forward to.
