Second day of the second week of the League of Legends EMEA Championship Summer Split on Sunday, August 10, featured two best-of-threes. First, Fnatic clean-swept Team BDS in a match where BDS barely found any footing. Then, Karmine Corp took a 2-1 victory in the week’s marquee matchup against Movistar KOI, with the Spring Split champions falling to the Winter Split champions.

With these results, both Fnatic and KC are now officially qualified for the Summer Split Playoffs after stringing together three straight group-stage wins. The day’s MVP honors went to Fnatic's spanish jungler Iván “Razork” Martín Díaz and KC’s Belgian support Raphaël “Targamas” Crabbé. This LEC week featured only the two weekend matchdays rather than the usual three. BDS and KOI both end the second week at 1-1, leaving everything still to play for.

A stomp and a close series

The first game between Fnatic and BDS didn’t even reach the 30-minute mark. The Black and Orange dove the opposing side lanes early and quickly took control of the match. Razork claimed his 1,000th LEC kill on Jarvan IV, and the opener went to Yoon “Poby” Sung-won and his team — their first win in this duel against Ilias “nuc” Bizriken, with whom they had exchanged taunts on X. In the second game, Fnatic once again seized the lead early on, with Razork delivering another strong performance, including a well-timed midlane gank. Fnatic completely dominated from start to finish, leaving BDS with little room to respond.

The second Bo3 of the evening was far tighter between the two European champions. Kim “Canna” Chang-dong delivered a standout performance, even solo-killing his lane opponent, while KOI opted for the Lillia–Yone combo — a pick that didn’t quite pay off. The Spaniards bounced back in Game 2, with Joseph Joon “Jojopyun” Pyun shining on Taliyah. As is often the case when they win, KOI took full control of the map, slowly stripping away every resource until they closed out the game and tied the series.

In the final game, Canna once again impressed, this time on K’Sante — a champion far less present in the current meta compared to previous splits. Jojopyun had another solid laning phase, but the late-game scaling of Vladimiros “Vladi” Kourtidis’ Viktor proved decisive. KOI still managed to find plays that could have sparked a comeback, but KC held firm and secured their playoff spot.
