«The moment discussions arise about who is the best in the West while we’re trying to win MSI, there’s an issue,» Supa stated in a conversation with Sheep Esports. «Our mindset should focus on how we can become the top team globally,» he emphasized, suggesting that to compete with the leading Chinese and Korean teams, players must aspire to reach the pinnacle of success.

This year, G2 Esports has typically been Europe’s front-runner in international *League* tournaments, but MKOI has disrupted that norm. The team began the LEC Spring Split with two early losses but learned from their experiences, eventually securing their first domestic championship in the EMEA league.

Supa has played a crucial role in MKOI’s success, excelling in the bot lane alongside his support, Alvaro. He recorded the highest first blood rate among all AD carries in the 2025 LEC Spring Split, according to statistics from Oracle’s Elixir. Additionally, he led all AD carries in kills during the playoffs, propelling MKOI to their inaugural title.

As G2 Esports barely edged past the MSI 2025 Play-in stage, European fans are now looking to MKOI for a commendable performance at the tournament. MKOI will begin their upper bracket series against Bilibili Gaming on July 4. Bilibili Gaming previously delivered a significant 3-0 defeat to G2 Esports in the Play-ins, so MKOI must aim to make a powerful statement to overcome them.
