CFO vs MKOI match overview

Tournament: MSI 2025
Stage: Bracket stage
Game: League of Legends
Format: Best-of-five

Betting pick: CFO’s impressive performance against a powerhouse team like T1 shows it has a strong winning chance against the relatively lackluster MKOI.

CFO vs MKOI match analysis

CFO surprised many with its impressive performance against T1, especially considering the team doesn’t have many achievements under its belt. In particular, HonQ showed the skill expected from a professional player at the game’s absolute highest level, keeping up with Faker in the mid lane and being one of the biggest reasons CFO won game two. Then there’s Doggo, who holds high carry potential with his calculated plays that snowballed him into a force to be reckoned with in the second and third games versus T1.

Unfortunately for CFO, the team’s relative lack of international experience was clear through its champion drafts. Picks like Tristana in mid and Zyra as jungler were easily countered by T1, leading to the team getting steamrolled in the last game of the series. CFO’s top lane is also a mixed bag. While Driver is sometimes too aggressive for his own good, Rest’s passive gameplay usually results in a safer lane, but with less possibility of him becoming a late-game carry.

KOI 2025 lol roster

MKOI is a strong team, but its strategizing needs work. While sharp tactics made on the fly can work when the team’s playing domestically, the same just isn’t true against stronger teams at the international level as was seen against BLG. Despite Myrwn getting an ace and having the Mountain Soul at one point, the player’s poor positioning cost MKOI the fourth game and the match overall. While working on this could help MKOI improve a lot, the team doesn’t have the time right now to make such significant changes.

Fortunately, Jojopyun and Supa have stepped up recently to show up in every game. Supa knows when to be aggressive, while Jojopyun capably assists his jungler and the bot lane whenever he’s needed. While Elyoya’s presence is sometimes lacking in the team’s games, he’s reliable enough when it comes to objective acquisition, which usually gives his team enough buffs to have a chance at winning in the long run.

Roster and roles

CTBC Flying Oyster	KOI
Rest – Top	Myrwn – Top
JunJia – Jungle	Elyoya – Jungler
HongQ – Mid	Jojopyun – Mid
Doggo – ADC	Supa – ADC
Kaiwing – Support	Alvaro – Support

Champion pool

With such a limited champion pool, CFO will want to stick with what it knows best. This means fans can expect Jayce, Nidalee, Vi, Xin Zhao, Azir, Viktor, Kalista, Ezreal, Alistar, and Leona.
MKOI is extremely flexible with its picks. Considering how its last match went, the team will likely go for strong picks like Gwen, Ambessa, Xin Zhao, Pantheon, Ahri, Galio, Zayah, Varus, Rakan, and Rell.

CFO and MKOI betting picks and predictions

CFO’s bottom and mid lanes are looking extremely strong, especially when compared to MKOI’s recent showings. With better tactics and macro abilities, it wouldn’t be surprising if CFO swept MKOI with a perfect 3-0 score, knocking the LEC champions out of the tournament and progressing to the second round.

Best picks

CFO gets first blood @ 1.81: CFO is the more aggressive team, so it’ll want to get a proper advantage over MKOI early.
Total maps under 3.5 @ 2.93: MKOI has showcased significantly weaker performance than CFO thus far, so a 3-0 victory for CFO wouldn’t be too surprising.
