Meeting statistics

Current form & playstyle: Team Vitality

Team Vitality enter this showdown on a mixed note. Their summer split campaign has seen limited success—winning just 3 out of their last 11 matches, equating to a 28% win rate over the past 3 months. However, they’ve recently shown sparks of life by taking down Karmine Corp in a hard-fought 21 victory. Outside of LEC, Vitality’s roster, bolstered by roster depth and confidence, dominated the NNO Cup Season 3—a minor event—sweeping through competition including SK Gaming and BK ROG Esports, demonstrating strong team cohesion and form in scrim-level play.

The French side’s style has been increasingly adaptive: willing to swap macro for high-pressure skirmishes, especially when they gain early leads, though consistency remains a concern.

Current form & playstyle: Movistar KOI

Movistar KOI, on the other hand, strides in as one of the most consistent teams. They kicked off summer with a confident Bo3 debut and have steadily kept pace with the top-tier. Importantly, they came just one step from clinching a playoff spot after a 20 sweep over NAVI in Week 3, though analysts note they haven’t been particularly convincing—more stable than explosive.

Overall, the Spanish team is a team with disciplined macro play and an organized draft identity, relying on structural advantages rather than flashy, individual outplays.

Head-to-head

These 2 teams haven’t met yet in the 2025 summer split Group Stage, but spring form suggests KOI often had the upper hand through roster strength and synergy. In the current Group A standings, this match could heavily influence final seeding—both teams aim to secure as favorable a path as possible into Playoffs (top 4 from the group progress, while the third and fourth placed sides go to the Lower Bracket). KOI are third (2-1), while Team Vitality are third with the same record.

Match analytics

Taking into account team form and stability, KOI is the heavy betting favorite. The odds of bookmakers with Bitcoin are showing it clearly. Their consistent performance and ability to close out clean 2-0 matches make them a strong pick. Safe, yet value bet pick would be KOI’s win by losing a series. Vitality have shown they can push series—leaning KOI in a tight one maximizes upside while acknowledging the rival’s capacity to steal a game.
