LEC Versus 2026: MKOI utilizes superior macro to defeat SK Gaming
The fourth match featured SK Gaming vs MKOI. Prior to the match, SK Gaming held a 3-4 record in the standings, while MKOI were at 4-3. Let's get to the match.
Game 1 Picks:
- SK Gaming: Sion, Pantheon, Ryze, Caitlyn, Elise
- MKOI: Rumble, Vi, Anivia, Yunara, Lulu
The match began with SK Gaming applying pressure in the bot lane using the duo that GIANTX previously played against MKOI. It worked reasonably well, providing a slight advantage for Caitlyn. However, First Blood went to Pantheon in the mid lane due to an error by Anivia, who used a poor Teleport.
By the 18-minute mark, MKOI managed to secure a map advantage in gold, kills, and objectives thanks to their superior macro play. The main issue for SK Gaming was that their game plan relying on Caitlyn's strong lane dominance didn't pan out, and the Caitlyn-Elise combo completely lost its effectiveness. Another pivotal moment was the fight at Baron; while SK Gaming managed to secure the objective, they lost three champions in the process.
At the 30-minute mark, SK Gaming initially took what seemed like a decent fight near the dragon, winning the skirmish and securing their second dragon. However, MKOI stalled effectively for their teammates to respawn and managed to take down two champions in return. This allowed them to move towards Baron, where they foiled an ambush attempt and killed two more champions. Afterward, they pushed down the lanes, leading to the final fight of the match. MKOI improves to 5-3 in the standings, while SK Gaming falls to 3-5.
