During the last weeks the Spanish Community of League of Legends He has been in luck and is that he has lived something that we would never have expected and that he has entered directly into the books of Spanish Lol History. We speak of course of Movistar Koi and Victoria at the Spring Split of the LEC. And what the Ibai Llanos team has achieved has been incredible, since they have raised the maximum title at the European level with Four Spanish players (Myrwn, Elyoya, Supa and Álvaro) in addition to the coach (Melzhet).
The truth is that this project from the first day captured the attention of thousands of League of Legends fansgiven that River It is one of the most important figures of this video game, but after the merger and formation of this template, which was previously monitoring became passionbecause players formed in the Spanish circuit represented our country by Europe and also by the world, which, in some way, made us felt Movistar Koi as ours. And lifting the title of the LEC in the second year was the icing of a cake that was already beautiful.
Un disappointing msi for movistar koi
Thus, with the first title under the arm, Movistar Koi He entered a major challenge, the MSI, the second international tournament of the year in which the best clubs and players from all over the planetwhat was a 'Fire test' Perfect to know the real level of the equipment. Thus, the Spaniards arrived directly to the Final phase as victors of the LEC, And the first game was nothing more and nothing less than against Bilibili Gaming, the runner -up of the world and China, those that, despite an acceptable level of Movistar Koi, 'swept' ours with a blunt 3-1 that left our community very cold.
And so, those of Ibai Llanos fell to 'Lower Bracket'where in each game they played everything, keep going rounds or return home. And in the first game of 'Loser side' were Flying Oysterthe team of Taiwan that came from losing by the minimum against the Almighty T1 in a duel in which they even had two 'game maps'. Asians arrived with many better sensations than the Spaniards and they demonstrated it in the First two maps, where we saw a unrecognizable Movistar Koi, apathetic, without proposing anything and with a passivity that reminded us of the worst moments of this block.
With the 2-0 against, Movistar Koi reacted and signed an almost perfect third map dominated from beginning to end, something more similar to the style made by European champions with which they got Approach on the maps score. But the bad sensations returned to the 'invoker crack', signing a Fourth very bad map and losing the series against a Flying Oyster which proved to be much superior to Europeans, those who remained Eliminated from the MSI and were already focused on the following challenge, the eSports World Cup.
The failure of Europe in international
So, Movistar Koi left the MSI Without a single victory and with only two maps won, a very Disappointing for a LEC winner. But to this we must also add the G2 failure eSportsthose that were classified from the play-in suffering more than expected and that in the final phase they lost by 3-1 against Geng, something normal, and 3-0 against Flyquest to be eliminated, thus signing a very bad performance. And the truth is that with these results Europe became the fifth region of the MSI since its two teams were the First in 'Go home' From the final phase, something that is extremely worrying for the region.
