This year’s world tournament was filled with ups and downs for many of its teams. In particular, T1 barely made it to the tournament through play-ins and then ended up with two losses, just like MKOI. The two teams will now face each other, with the winner advancing to the round of 16 and the loser being eliminated.

Analysis of the MKOI vs T1 match
T1 may have stumbled recently during the Swiss stage of the World Cup, but the team managed to bounce back in subsequent matches. Gumayusi and Keria once again prove reliable in the bot lane, and Faker still impresses in the mid lane when he’s not soloing for kills. Although MKOI’s Elyoya and Jojopyun are good players, they aren’t able to do much when their top laner seems to be destroying him. Due to this top lane disadvantage, there is a high chance that the match favorite, T1, will emerge victorious.

MKOI’s biggest advantage is its more diverse champion pool. Faker and Oner don’t play effectively against many champions, and taking advantage of this could allow MKOI to win at least one game. This victory alone would take the best-of-three series to go the distance. The 2.5+ card matchup is a pick with a solid return, so it may be a good idea to bet on it here.
T1’s start to the match may be strong, but the team’s players have been playing more slowly and deliberately since Oner was constantly caught in his own jungle in the early matches of the tournament. MKOI can take advantage and secure the first kill, which is another pick with high return potential. As for jungle objectives, recent matches suggest that T1 will secure the first dragon, Baron and Atakhan, giving the team the momentum to close out from there.

MKOI vs T1 betting picks and predictions
The LEC teams haven’t really done much to impress fans, aside from G2 Esports’ relatively early qualification to the Round of 16. MKOI’s international level of performance has never been the team’s strong point, and he probably won’t be up to par against T1. The LCK team’s recent match against FlyQuest suggested that the team was not as strong as expected, and this could at least allow MKOI to win a match before finally bidding farewell to this year’s LoL Worlds event.
Best Picks
- The total number of cards must be greater than 2.5 to 2.80: T1’s unreliable performance and limited champion pool could allow MKOI to win a match.
- MKOI will get first blood at 2.10: MKOI’s underdog status could force them to be more aggressive from the start, which could earn them first blood.
- T1 to get the first Baron at 1.38: Oner is a much more objective-oriented jungler than Eloyoya, making T1 the team to go for when it comes to securing the first Baron.
