MKOI vs T1 match analysis

Most fans likely didn’t expect much from MKOI. However, the team impressed many by winning against the powerhouse BLG in the Swiss Stage. In particular, Myrwn has become a really reliable top laner who can take down players with initiating champions such as Jax, while Supa’s presence in team fights can’t be ignored.

However, KC’s biggest weakness is its lack of consistency. The team can be dominating in one series, and then throwing in the next. The match against Dplus is a good example of this inconsistency, though the same can be said for T1. Despite having powerhouse players such as Peyz and Oner, T1 also lost to DK, despite comfortably winning against the team in domestic matches.

Still, T1 is going into this match with a significant advantage. While MKOI is strong when its players stick to their comfort picks, T1 has more champion flexibility. Going for a draft that lets T1 counter MKOI’s most popular picks should give the LCK team a reliable way to come out on top.

This doesn’t mean that things will be easy. Looking at the stats, MKOI has been the more aggressive team recently. The European team will likely go in guns blazing, hoping to get an early advantage in the games. This could potentially make it a good idea to side with MKOI to get first blood. T1’s current form also isn’t exactly the best, because of which MKOI could potentially nab at least one game in this series. Taking the over on 2.5 maps could be the way to go, especially considering the decent potential return. It is also worth considering whether this game will turn into an extended battle.

MKOI vs T1 betting picks & predictions

T1 is a favorite to win this entire thing, but the team’s performance hasn’t been the best. While T1 is no stranger to surprising everyone when the stakes are high, there’s a strong chance that it could throw at least one game against MKOI. Still, the European team isn’t too reliable in longer series of games, which could help T1 still come out on top.

☑️ My Picks

MKOI to get first blood @ 3.02: MKOI is the more initially aggressive team, which could help it get first blood more reliably.
Total maps to be over 2.5 @ 2.81: T1’s current state could help MKOI win at least one game, taking this match to the distance.

MKOI vs T1 prediction: I predict that T1 will win this match 2-1 against MKOI. This is rated 1.2 odds at GG.BET.
