On paper this looks like a 50/50 — both teams sitting tied at 4th place with a 4-2 record. But the details tell a very different story.
Movistar KOI comes in with serious momentum: 5 wins in their last 6 series, only dropping to Vitality in that stretch. They look sharp, they look confident, and most importantly — they have Jojopyun.
Let’s talk about Jojopyun. The mid laner has been operating at a level that very few players in the West can match right now. He’s not just winning his lane — he’s impacting the entire map, adapting to whatever the team needs, and making plays that a conventional mid laner simply can’t make. For many, he’s the best player in the western scene right now, and watching KOI play around him makes it easy to see why.

GIANTX is a real team — don’t sleep on them. But there’s a clear pattern this split: when GX faces the top tier of the LEC, they come up short. Against KOI, KC, G2 — the step up in level shows. The head-to-head backs this up too: KOI leads 7-3 all-time, including multiple wins in 2025 and 2026.
The market agrees — KOI are favored at 67%, and honestly that feels right.
Pick: KOI 2-1 — Jojopyun is the difference maker here.
