This will be the first time these teams meet on the international stage. They haven’t played against each other before.
Players to watch: jojopyun and HongQ
If you’re planning to make LoL predictions and bets, be sure to keep these mid laners in mind. Their decisions in lane and participation in team fights can seriously impact the outcome of a match. Plus, watching the mid lane battle is always especially exciting.
jojopyun is an experienced and confident player. He has a strong understanding of lane dynamics, chooses advantageous positions, and consistently deals high damage. His experience on the big stage gives his team someone they can rely on in the most tense moments.
HongQ is also one of his team’s key players. He knows how to find good opportunities to impact the map and joins team plays at the right time. His contributions often prove decisive in crucial fights and help his team maintain momentum.
Predicted result of the match
Here we are at the end of our analysis of CTBC Flying Oysters and MKOI and their form at the Mid-Season Invitational 2025. It’s the perfect time to sum things up and make a prediction for the match. Every team at this tournament has earned its spot, but the level of play between regions can vary quite a lot.
My LoL betting prediction: a win for CTBC Flying Oysters.
CTBC Flying Oysters have shown excellent form throughout the season, both in their own region and on the international stage. Despite their limited experience, the team looks incredibly solid and promising. Meanwhile, MKOI struggle with consistency and often have issues with discipline — unnecessary tower dives and roaming alone. These mistakes often cost them games, even in matches they should be winning 100%.
