Movistar Koi is set to play a crucial match this weekend, a matter of life or death, after their disappointing 2-0 loss against Kcorp on Monday. This loss sent them to the loser bracket, and now they face a do-or-die situation – either continue in the LEC or take an early vacation and regroup for the Spring Split. The Spanish team will take to the stage on Sunday to determine their fate.
The expectations were high for Movistar Koi, given their solid performance in the regular phase and their first Bo3 against Team BDS. However, they were outplayed by a formidable Kcorp, who took the series 2-0. This loss has raised questions about Movistar Koi’s ability to compete at the top level, and they’ll need to bounce back strong if they hope to advance.
Movistar Koi awaits their rival on Sunday
The team’s opponent for Sunday’s match will be decided by the duel between Team Heretics and Giantx. This Bo3 series will not only determine Movistar Koi’s next opponent but also result in the first Spanish team eliminated from the competition. Whoever emerges as the winner will likely enter the series against Movistar Koi as favorites, given the Spaniards’ recent struggles.
Movistar Koi’s defeat at the hands of Kcorp was a hard pill to swallow, with the team being outmatched at both the mechanical and macro levels. This wake-up call may serve as a much-needed reminder for a team that still has its sights set on the title. The question now is, can they regroup and refocus in time for their next match? Supa and Álvaro will need to step up their game, while Jojopyun will look to bounce back from a tough outing against Vladi.
The road ahead won’t be easy, as both potential opponents, Team Heretics and Giantx, pose a significant threat. Team Heretics has already beaten Movistar Koi in the regular season, and Giantx has shown they can give any team a run for their money. It’s imperative that Movistar Koi comes prepared and leaves everything on the table, as complacency can no longer be an option.
