Team Heretics vs. Movistar KOI Prediction on February 1, 2025

Match info

We continue to move towards the culmination of the LEC Winter 2025 – Regular Season. We’ll talk about what’s happening in the third week of the tournament. Let us remind you that just one ticket to the First Stand 2025, a new international League of Legends event held under the auspices of Riot, is being handed over to the LEC Winter 2025.

We are trying to figure out here whether Team Heretics or Movistar KOI will be stronger in the upcoming Spanish derby (Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 8:15 p.m. local time at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany) and earn those important points for the Playoffs ahead of the very finish of the Regular Season. The latter is the favorite by the odds of Klarna eSports bookmakers.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Team Heretics

In this match, Team Heretics are playing as outsiders with odds to win of 3.42 on Betwinner. KOI are 1.31.

Heretics have been part of the LEC structure since 2022. After a series of unsuccessful performances last year, they changed their roster significantly, signing top European players to be able to compete with the strongest representatives of the region. However, the Group Stage of the LEC Winter 2024 was a bit of a bummer. They made it to the Playoffs but with a 4-5 score. There, they were pushed down to Lower Bracket, and a loss to SK Gaming nailed them to eighth place.

Heretics missed the chance to qualify for the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 from the LEC Spring 2024. They had a rough time getting to the LEC Summer 2024 – Playoffs, where they displayed an equally unimpressive performance to finish seventh.

Heretics are 2-4 at the LEC Winter 2025, placing them at seventh place in the Regular Season charts. For now, that’s quite enough for the Playoffs.

The current form of Movistar KOI

For a considerable amount of time, the Spanish team has been in and out of the LEC ecosystem. For instance, KOI were actually the MAD Lions the previous season. Everything at KOI is fairly modest if we break down their results as a distinct organization. They haven’t played in the LEC since the 2023 season. KOI weren’t very successful that year. Following a strong showing at the LEC Winter 2023, where they placed third, KOI placed sixth at the LEC Spring 2023 and eighth at the LEC Summer 2023. Their lineup is competitive, mainly because the MAD Lions’ key members are still there. The MAD Lions used to be a formidable rival for G2 and Fnatic for the regional accolades.

The first week of the LEC Winter 2025 went well for KOI. They fell to Karmine Corp, but they also defeated Fnatic and Vitality. The second week was even better for them: two wins and a 5-1 record. KOI are second in the standings, just behind Karmine Corp.

Head-to-head

These two had faced seven times and KOI lead 4-3 in head-to-head.

Match analytics

In this match, our bet is on KOI. The core of the once-titled MAD Lions are showing themselves quite well, and Heretics, in our opinion, aren’t a team that’s very difficult to play against.

Tip: 1X2 – W2, with odds of 1.43 on 1xBet.
