LEC Versus 2026: Team Heretics Outfight MKOI to Secure Fourth Win
The penultimate match of the day is Team Heretics vs MKOI. Before the match, Team Heretics held a 3-5 record, while MKOI sat at 5-3. This is a crucial match for both teams where MKOI appear to be the stronger side. But let's take a look at how the match unfolded.
Game 1 Picks:
- Team Heretics: KSante, Xin Zhao, Orianna, Yunara, Braum
- MKOI: Rumble, Pantheon, Azir, Aphelios, Alistar
The match began with a pause at a 1-1 score because Xin Zhao's Q ability was not working. Honestly, I thought the match would be boring and dragged out after the pause, but the teams put on a magnificent performance. We witnessed fights literally every minute, and often these skirmishes were over nothing. Until the 12th minute, not a single objective had been taken, yet there were more fights than in some of today's other matches combined.
The majority of the fights were won by Team Heretics, and even when trades occurred, they still favored TH. By the 25-minute mark, the score was 13-7 in favor of Team Heretics, along with a gold lead of nearly 6,000. At the 29th minute, Team Heretics managed to secure Baron but lost two champions and a significant amount of health, which allowed MKOI to step out and attempt to take the Soul Point. However, Sheo, the TH jungler, managed to jump in using a Blast Cone to steal the dragon, and even survived, securing several kills with his team.
The 36th minute saw a fight in the mid lane that was very close for MKOI and essentially their fight of last hope. Team Heretics managed to win this tight engagement, wiping out all MKOI champions while losing three of their own. This allowed them to end the game, as minions were pushing the top lane hard. Team Heretics move to 4-5, while MKOI stands at 5-4 in the group.
