T1 has experienced a mixed start to this year's Worlds. They defeated LOS in their opening match, before losing to Dplus KIA in a competitive showing. Their impressive recovery over CTBC Flying Oyster puts them directly in the driver's seat however.
Movistar KOI also had a strong run against CTBC and scored a huge upset over Bilibili Gaming. However, their unbeaten run in the Swiss also came to an end at the hands of Dplus KIA, who defeated them 2-0.
Their records are practically identical, so it can be a harder game to call. However, T1s international pedigree may help them pull through. But, if Movistar KOI can bounce back from their loss to KIA, they will be a difficult team to topple.

| Statistic | T1 | Movistar KOI |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 game record | 96-57 | 62-54 |
| Game win rate | 62.7% | 53.4% |
| Average game duration | 32.7 mins | 33.2 mins |
| Dragons per game | 2.4 | 2.6 |
| Barons per game | 0.8 | 0.8 |
| Worlds 2026 game record | 2-1 | 2-2 |
T1’s superior season-long win rate highlights the differences between the teams, and shows in how much the stats differ between the two teams. Movistar KOI do average slightly more dragons per game though, so that could play a factor in the game. It’s also important to note T1 have experience against consistently strong LCK opposition, which is the strongest league in competitive LoL.

T1
Both teams possess experienced international competitors, with the mid and jungle matchups looking particularly interesting and important.
| Matchup | T1 Player | KOI Player |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Doran | Myrwn |
| Jungle | Oner | Elyoya |
| Mid | Faker | Jojopyun |
| Bot | Peyz | Supa |
| Support | Keria | Alvaro |
Faker vs Jojopyun is the most intriguing matchup here, in the mid. Both players bring a lot to the game: Faker’s experience, and ability to influence the map could prove decisive. Particularly if T1 establishes control over the middle lane. However, Jojopyun can be difficult to shake off when he’s on form and can throw a wrench into those plans.
The Elyoya vs Oner game will also be crucial for KOI’s chances. Eloyoya’s aggressive jungle play could create early opportunities for Jojopyun and prevent Oner from dictating the tempo.
The bottom lane presents a huge challenge for KOI, though. Peyz and Keria offer considerable carry potential and teamfight coordination, meaning Supa and Alvaro must avoid conceding an early advantage.

Movistar KOI
T1’s stronger overall record, international experience and superior individual talent make them the most likely winners, despite how evenly matched the two teams were throughout this years Worlds.
KOI’s defeat against Dplus KIA showed their vulnerability against disciplined Korean opposition. T1 has the tools to exploit the same weaknesses, as well as statistically having the advantage in longer games and coordinated teamfights. It’s also important to note that the T1 vs Dplus KIA game was a lot closer than the Dplus KIA vs KOI game.
A series victory would secure their place in the quarters, making this a straightforward alternative market that players can wager on.
T1 vs Movistar KOI is scheduled for October 28th 2026, at 20:00 UTC, for the forth round.
T1 are the favorites based on their stronger season record and international experience. Our prediction is a 2-0 victory.
