The European Legends competition is nearing its end, with several teams still competing for a spot in the next round. Fnatic, Karmine Corp, and Movistar Koi are among the top teams, but Movistar Koi’s chances took a hit after a tough loss to Team Heretics. This defeat allowed their rivals to surpass them in the standings.
One of the most anticipated matches was between G2 Esports, the current European champions, and Movistar Koi. Although G2 Esports has not been performing at their best, this match was expected to be a thrilling clash that could potentially be repeated in 2024.
G2 Esports started strong against Movistar Koi, with the Spanish team struggling from the beginning. Supa and Álvaro made mistakes in the 2 vs 2 botlane, leading to a 2-0 deficit. Meanwhile, Myrwn played well in the top lane, taking down Brokenblade with Elyoya’s help. However, Movistar Koi’s poor performance continued, losing the first tower on the upper street and struggling in the mid and bot lanes.
The game became increasingly difficult for Movistar Koi as G2 Esports took control. Atakhan’s plays were particularly effective, helping G2 Esports gain a significant gold advantage. Despite their efforts, Movistar Koi was unable to turn the game around. Ornn’s passive abilities improved G2 Esports’ objects, and Supa lacked the damage to take down anyone. This ultimately led to G2 Esports taking the Nashor, practically sealing the game.
In the end, it was a team fight that decided the game, with G2 Esports taking advantage of Movistar Koi’s mistake. CAPS attempted to hunt, but G2 Esports flashed and fought back, taking the team fight and ending the game. This was Movistar Koi’s second consecutive defeat, a worrying sign ahead of the next phase of the competition.
