The LEC Spring Playoffs are finally here and fans are more than excited to see the top performing teams duke it out in best-of-five matches. Given the major upsets during the Regular Season, the region has seen significant shifts in power with G2 Esports no longer dominating the scene, and Karmine Corp, Fnatic and Movistar KOI taking the reigns from the former reigning champions.
Let us not forget for the underdogs GIANTX and Team Heretics as they showed amazing improvements over the course of the Spring Regular Season as they also have a chance at causing some major upsets. Having said that, let's take a look at the League of Legends EMEA Championship 2025 Spring Playoffs.

Winner: MKOI
An incredible series with constant back and forths between both teams. Despite KC coming in as the best team this split, MKOI had some incredible plays throughout the entire match with the number three seed getting the upper hand over the favorites.
Despite MKOI getting a massive lead onto Supa, KC found some great team fights and took the match to silver scrapes. MKOI managed to survive the early game as KC struggled to find the angle around objectives, ultimately falling behind in terms of scaling. A phenomenal end to the series as MKOI found the miracle pick onto Caliste's Jhin and won the series by going 3-2.
