MKOI vs G2 Esports in-depth team, match analysis

MKOI has continued to improve in the LEC this year, from not even being considered in the top three best European teams to winning the last LEC split. With Supa being an excellent ADC who takes full advantage of jungler Eloyoya’s reliable objective acquisition, it wouldn’t be surprising if he becomes a force to be reckoned with here against G2.

G2’s biggest advantage is its individual talent. The team’s players, including Labrov and Skewmond, look excellent, and that may ultimately give G2 the win. However, that doesn’t mean things will be easy. With MKOI’s jungler being more objective-driven, the team may look to focus on the first jungle objectives, allowing G2 to get the first tower and aiming for a longer, objective-driven game.

While MKOI likes to make aggressive plays around the map, G2 is usually the type to play slowly at the start. Those who want a potentially good betting pick may want to side with MKOI winning the first map and finding first blood.

A trend in the ongoing playoffs is that matches usually don’t see many kills, which suggests that there may be fewer than 25.5 kills, another bet that has decent payout potential.

MKOI vs G2 Esports betting picks & predictions

While MKOI has continued to improve throughout the year, the team hasn’t necessarily showcased anything exceptional. By contrast, G2 steamrolling through one of the favorites to win the tournament, Karmine Corp, strongly suggests that it will take the win in this match. But G2 still makes frequent mistakes around the map, seemingly getting overconfident when the team is in the lead, and that may help MKOI take the match to a fifth map.

Best picks

• Total maps over 4.5 @ 2.72: Karmine Corp has pushed G2 to the edge before, and there’s a good chance that it may happen again this time.
• MKOI to get first blood @ 1.94: MKOI’s aggressive behavior may give it first blood, even if G2 is more likely to find the first tower.
• MKOI to win the first map @ 2.43: G2 Esports usually plays fairly passively in the first map to gauge the enemy team’s tactics, potentially giving MKOI an early opening.
