The next match featured MKOI vs NAVI. NAVI have already locked in a playoff spot, holding second place in the regular season standings. For MKOI, however, this victory is crucial to guarantee their place in the playoffs.

Game 1 Picks:

  • Movistar KOI: Sion, Vi, Taliyah, Corki, Nami
  • Natus Vincere: Aatrox, Pantheon, Azir, Caitlyn, Neeko

At the 4-minute mark, NAVI attempted to steal the raptors in MKOI's bot-side jungle, but MKOI were ready for it. Punishing Natus Vincere for this mistake, Taliyah secured First Blood, establishing a slight level and gold lead for their jungler. Following this, the match slowed down; the teams only traded supports in a single skirmish and secured one dragon each.

By the 25th minute, MKOI had extended their lead through map control and isolated kills. This severely hindered NAVI's carries from farming and scaling, preventing them from taking a solid team fight. After an excellent fight in the mid lane, MKOI secured Baron and expanded their gold advantage to 8,000.

Natus Vincere never managed to force a full 5v5 engagement, fighting outnumbered every time. Movistar KOI were able to end the game off the back of that Baron buff. With this victory, MKOI qualify for the playoffs. For Natus Vincere, this match served as a lesson on how to play and what to draft moving into the playoffs.
