KOI vs Bilibili Gaming in League of Legends MSI 2025 Bracket Stage: Can KOI bring the West a victory?

For the last six years, all international LoL esports events have been largely dominated by the eastern teams, especially from South Korea and China. G2 Esports was the last Western team to win a tournament (MSI 2019). Although several North American and European teams proceeded to make a mark thereafter, they were never enough to win a trophy.

KOI won the Spring split and secured the MSI 2025 Bracket Stage as the first LEC seed. With four Spanish players and one Canadian Midlaner, the team looked exceptionally strong in the regional scene.

Notably, the Midlaner Jojopyun has been a great addition to the lineup. His deep champion pool and dynamic play style help secure mid-to-late game team fights. Furthermore, his synergy with Jungler Eloya has been impeccable throughout the previous LEC split.

Now a question arises: Can KOI perform with confidence and outplay China's second seed, Bilibili Gaming?

BLG started its journey from the Play-In Stage and completely obliterated everyone in its path. Delivering 3-0 victories against both GAM Esports and G2 Esports, the team looked clinical, and every player has showcased strong resilience in the current LoL meta.

Also, BLG's Jungler Beichuan is performing exceptionally and impacting with carry and tank champions. It's hard to believe this is his first international event.

Despite being the second seed from China, BLG should be considered as one of the four best teams competing at MSI 2025. With renowned players like Bin, knight, and Elk, the lineup should have no major trouble defeating KOI.

Prediction: BLG 3 - 1 KOI
