Game results

Game 1

KC opened the series with Caliste on Corki whose 7/1/6 KDA gave their system the primary damage platform that their early-game aggressive configuration converted into an 18-6 kill advantage and a 32-minute close. KC's Fearless Draft flexibility gave NaVi no specific champion pool answer for the opening game composition whose individual execution confirmed KC's superior draft adaptability from the series' first map.

Game 2

Game 2 was defined by Yike's individual brilliance in the jungle. KC ran Yike on Pantheon whose 5/0/9 deathless KDA reflected a player whose map dominance gave KC the collective platform that their 16-5 kill score and 29-minute close required. The decisive individual moment came during a critical mid-game Dragon pit contest when NaVi attempted to trigger the objective early. Yike used a blast cone to vault directly into the pit and executed a clean Smite steal that completely deflated NaVi's objective control and removed their primary comeback mechanism at the series' most critical individual moment.

Game 3

NaVi's Game 3 response was the standout individual performance of the series and the moment that produced their first ever franchise win over Karmine Corp. Trailing 0-2 and facing elimination, KC pushed deep into NaVi's base and exposed the Nexus in what appeared to be the series-closing sequence. SamD's turbo Sivir spell-shielded critical crowd control at the exact moment KC's frontline required their abilities to land, kited backward perfectly and wiped KC's frontline in the chaotic Nexus defense that gave NaVi the historic result whose significance extended beyond the scoreline. The Game 3 win gave NaVi their first ever competitive victory over KC across their franchise history.

Game 4

NaVi's Game 3 momentum could not be sustained into the decisive fourth map. NaVi attempted an aggressive river flank designed to trap KC in the engagement whose success would have required isolating their carries in the specific position that Vusio's support engage specifically targeted. The flank became a disastrous bottleneck when Vusio landed a stunning multi-man engage that left NaVi completely vulnerable in the river position they had chosen as their initiation point. Caliste's Kalista pulled back the Rend feathers to secure a decisive double kill whose economic and momentum consequences gave KC the Baron claim that sealed the 3-1 series result and confirmed their Lower Bracket Semifinal advancement.

Standout performances

Caliste was KC's series MVP with a 7/1/6 KDA on Corki in Game 1 and an 8/1/9 KDA on Kalista in Game 4, his near-deathless performances across both KC wins reflecting a player whose Fearless Draft flexibility gave their system the primary carry platform whose activation in Games 1 and 4 confirmed KC's superior champion pool depth against NaVi's preparations.

Yike's Game 2 blast cone Dragon steal was the individual mechanical highlight of the series, his Pantheon deathless performance and Smite steal execution deflating NaVi's objective control at the series' most critical individual moment and giving KC the 2-0 lead whose psychological weight preceded NaVi's Game 3 historic response.

SamD's Game 3 turbo Sivir performance was the most individually significant result of the series for NaVi, his spell-shield timing and kite execution in the Nexus defense producing the first ever franchise win over KC that confirmed NaVi's individual ceiling is capable of generating competitive results against the LEC's most established lower bracket survivor.
