LEC Playoffs: MKOI vs NAVI - Last Chance for Worlds Qualification
The League of Legends European Championship (LEC) playoffs have reached their climax as MKOI faces off against NAVI in the lower bracket final on September 18. The stakes are high, with the winner securing a spot at the World Championship 2026 and the loser heading home.
MKOI and NAVI both arrived at this point after narrowly defeating Team Vitality and GIANTX, respectively, 3-2 in their previous matches. Elyoya, MKOI's jungler, has been instrumental in the team's success with his experience and ability to read game states.
The match also pits experienced talent against younger players, as NAVI's Rhilech, the 2026 LEC Rookie of the Year, takes on the veteran Elyoya. This series will determine which team advances to face Karmine Corp and represents Europe at the World Championship.
