KOI vs. G2 in LEC Summer Final 2025

Movistar KOI Advance to LEC Summer Final Clash with G2 Esport

The stage is set in Madrid as Movistar KOI lock in their spot for the League of Legends European Championship (LEC) Summer Split 2025 grand final. After a commanding 3-1 win over Fnatic in the lower bracket, the Spanish team will meet G2 Esports this Sunday at the Caja Mágica arena. The matchup is not only a repeat of the Spring Split final but also a clash that could shape the power rankings going into Worlds.

A Seventh Final for Movistar KOI This marks the seventh LEC final for Movistar KOI since their entry into the league back in 2020, when they competed under the MAD Lions banner. For a team that thrives under pressure, reaching another final only boosts their reputation as one of Europe’s most consistent contenders. With their Worlds ticket already secured, their performance in Madrid is about more than just pride, it’s about boosting their rank as the strongest team in Europe.

Fnatic, meanwhile, will have to settle for third place. Although they secured a Worlds berth by defeating Karmine Corp earlier in the weekend, their loss to KOI highlighted the gap between them and the very top. This is the second time in 2025 that Fnatic finish third, a solid result but still short of the expectations set by their star roster.

The Power of the Home Crowd

One major storyline is KOI’s uncanny strength when playing on home soil. Madrid crowds have been electric all year, and KOI seem to draw endless energy from their fans. During the Spring roadshow, they swept both of their series in front of Spanish supporters, and the Summer playoffs have only reinforced the trend.

Javier “Elyoya” Prades once again took the spotlight with bold, aggressive jungle play that kept Fnatic under pressure from the very first game. His ability to dictate the tempo gave KOI the edge throughout the series. Still, it was Alex “Myrwn” Villarejo who earned MVP honors, showing consistency and delivering clutch moments that swung the series KOI’s way.

The crowd wasn’t just a background factor, it felt like an extra player on stage. Elyoya even used his post-match interview to fire shots at G2, warning them that Madrid’s energy would turn the arena into KOI’s fortress. His words set the tone for a fiery final, while ADC David “Supa” Garcia doubled down, declaring that no roster signings from G2 would be enough to topple KOI’s momentum.

Fnatic’s Harsh Reality Check For Fnatic, the defeat stings more than the scoreboard suggests. Despite flashes of brilliance, particularly through Iván “Razork” Martín’s proactive jungle pathing, the team couldn’t maintain pressure across the map. Their coordination faltered when compared to KOI’s discipline, leaving them unable to keep pace.

This result also highlights a troubling pattern. For the first time since 2022, Fnatic will finish a year without a single LEC final appearance. The organization has not lifted a league title since 2018, and while the addition of mid-laner Yoon “Poby” Sung-won has brought stability, the roster still looks short of championship form. Worlds will be their chance at redemption, but their struggles in Europe raise questions about how high they can rank against international giants.

All Eyes on the Grand Final

Sunday’s final between Movistar KOI and G2 Esports promises fireworks. G2 may have dominated much of the year, but KOI’s resurgence in front of a roaring Madrid crowd makes them a serious threat. Beyond the trophy, the series carries momentum heading into Worlds, where every victory, every adaptation, and every ounce of confidence matters.

Whether KOI can convert home advantage into a title or G2 will reaffirm their dynasty, fans can expect one of the most intense matches of the season. For KOI, victory would mean not only lifting another trophy but also boosting their reputation as Europe’s new powerhouse in LoL.
