MKOI Claim Last LEC Worlds Place And Eliminate NAVI
Movistar KOI has secured the final European spot for the League of Legends World Championships following a decisive 3-1 victory over Natus Vincere in the LEC Summer Playoffs held in Nice, France. The match represented the first game of the LEC Season Finals arena show and determined which organization would qualify for the prestigious international tournament.
Despite initial close competition in Game 1, where NAVI’s mid-jungle combination briefly gained an advantage, KOI responded with strong teamfighting to secure victory. The team ultimately prevailed across the series, preventing what could have been a 3-0 sweep by allowing NAVI one game before closing out the match.
This qualification marks another World Championships appearance for Movistar KOI. Most notably, jungler Javier ‘Elyoya’ Prades Batalla achieved his sixth consecutive Worlds qualification, maintaining a perfect attendance record at the championship event—a remarkable achievement in competitive League of Legends.
NAVI’s loss eliminates them from direct World Championship contention. Instead, the organization will compete at the Demacia Cup Global Invitational, an alternative international tournament opportunity. KOI’s victory reinforces their status as one of Europe’s dominant League of Legends teams.
