⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
The single-elimination format always leaves room for upsets, but the Chinese side look far more cohesive and better equipped to handle the pressure. Historically, Bilibili Gaming Junior thrive in early skirmishes and know how to snowball an advantage, thanks in large part to the smart rotations of jungler luoyiyu. Movistar KOI tend to start slow, which could prove costly against such a fast-paced opponent. If the Chinese squad force their trademark early fights, the European defense may simply be unable to withstand the onslaught. Our prediction: Bilibili Gaming Junior to win.
