Movistar KOI Are Ramping Up
Movistar KOI have had a fairly mediocre run through the LEC Summer regular season, ending the group stage in sixth place.
However, they turned it up in the playoffs, beating Team Vitality (3-2) and Natus Vincere (3-1) in the lower bracket to secure a top-three finish and have a chance to contest the LEC title.
Their game against Vitality was a weird one, and it could’ve ended either way. However, KOI really stepped up against Natus Vincere in the last round and produced a complete stomp – proving once more that KOI’s ceiling is very high.
Movistar KOI tend to be a volatile team, capable of high highs and low lows. But ahead of the lower bracket finals, they’ve been showing good form, indicating that they’re edging more towards the former.

Karmine Corp Are In Good Shape
Karmine Corp have made a name for themselves as one of the strongest teams in the LEC this season. They are objectively in a class of their own with G2 Esports, as a team that sits a tier above most other squads in Europe.
Karmine Corp won the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record, then defeated GIANTX 3-1 in the upper bracket semifinals, and, in their own style, lost against G2 Esports in the upper bracket final. It was not a bad performance from KC, but rather a repeat of what we’ve seen before – regardless of how good KC are, they always find a way to lose against G2 Esports.
While G2 Esports are Karmine Corp’s kryptonite, KC tend to look much better when faced with any other team. And that includes Movistar KOI, who KC have beaten many times before this season. So the question is not which team is better, but rather how much better KC really are.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 6 | LEC 2026 Summer Playoffs | G2 Esports | 1-3 (L) |
| September 5 | LEC 2026 Summer Playoffs | GIANTX | 3-1 (W) |
| August 29 | LEC 2026 Summer | SK Gaming | 2-0 (W) |
| August 23 | LEC 2026 Summer | Shifters | 2-1 (W) |

Verdict
Karmine Corp have had Movistar KOI’s number this season, and they’re expected to do just as well on Saturday. While there is no denying that KC have looked better this split, Movistar KOI have been ramping up, and in the state they’re in now, KOI can be considered almost as potent as Karmine Corp.
When KOI are in good shape, they can challenge any team in the league, which includes Karmine Corp. So from a betting perspective, it is fair to question how much better KC really are.
There’s also the fact that Movistar KOI have already played a stage match, while Karmine Corp haven’t in two weeks. Movistar KOI have shaken off the rust and are in good shape – two very good reasons to believe they can do some damage.
