Both squads have made a name for themselves as two of the league’s strongest sides. While KOI have been widely inconsistent this year and in seasons before, they have accomplished great things.
Likewise, Team Vitality have looked excellent this split but could not overcome their demons in the upper bracket, where the Bees once again had to admit defeat to G2 Esports.
Movistar KOI deserve some respect as a team who are capable of producing high-level performances. On the other side, they are also very volatile and unpredictable, and their recent form does not inspire much confidence.
- Vitality are the regular season champions
- Movistar KOI are widely inconsistent
- Vitality have looked much better this split

Team Vitality Searching for a Bounce Back
Team Vitality had a very promising run through the regular season, but they once more failed to deliver against G2 Esports, who defeated them 3-0 in the upper bracket semifinals.
Based on the regular-season performances, Vitality should’ve won that game, but as usual, G2 Esports turned up in the knockout stage and outperformed the Bees. So it wasn't so much Vitality playing poorly as much as it was G2 finding a new level and re-emerging as LEC’s top dogs.
Team Vitality remain a very competent squad. Just not a squad that can deal with in-form G2 Esports – much like the rest of the league.

Movistar KOI Return to Action
Movistar KOI ended the regular season in sixth place, with a 4-5 record. They finished one win above the cutoff line, after a very volatile run through the season.
Movistar KOI had a rough start to LEC Summer, losing their first three matches against G2 Esports, Karmine Corp, and Team Vitality. While they’ve found more success in the remaining five weeks of play, KOI have also struggled to find any consistency, dropping maps against Shifters, Fnatic, and whole games against SK Gaming and GIANTX.
This lack of consistency is nothing new for Movistar KOI, who are widely known as one of the more volatile teams in the league. On the other hand, they are capable of high highs, so it really comes down to the question of which Movistar KOI we’re going to get on Saturday.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 30 | LEC 2026 Summer | Team Heretics | 2-0 (W) |
| August 22 | LEC 2026 Summer | SK Gaming | 0-2 (L) |
| August 16 | LEC 2026 Summer | Natus Vincere | 2-0 (W) |
| August 8 | LEC 2026 Summer | GIANTX | 0-2 (L) |
| August 2 | LEC 2026 Summer | Fnatic | 2-1 (W) |

Verdict
Movistar KOI are, on paper, a strong team. And KOI have shown before that they’re capable of high highs, even challenging some of LEC’s top teams. However, KOI haven’t been great this split and are off a very long break, having played their last match on August 30.
This will not do them any favours, especially considering they’re set to face Team Vitality, who were one of the best teams of the regular season.
Qualitatively, KOI should be able to match Vitality. But their form is lacking, making Vitality the more likely victors and a solid bet at these numbers.
