FURIA 2-0 Leviatan — CBLOL 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: FURIA swept Leviatan 2-0 in CBLOL 2026, extending its winning streak to 5 through Ayu’s decisive bot-lane influence and Tatu’s stable jungle control. The result mattered because FURIA translated its first-place form into two different wins: one built around lane advantage, the next around execution.

FURIA did not merely avoid an upset; it made the sweep feel like the natural outcome of a team with more ways to win. Leviatan found moments of pressure, especially in Game 2, but could not convert them into the clean early control its season profile demanded.

Key Takeaways

• Ayu was the series MVP: his Ezreal created a massive +1617 GoldDiff@15 in Game 1, then his Ashe finished 4/3/6 despite a -1615 lane deficit in Game 2.
• The decisive swing came when Tatu’s Trundle answered Leviatan’s Game 2 lane pressure with a 5/1/6 performance and 11.00 KDA, denying the snowball that could have extended the series.
• FURIA won the series 2-0, taking Game 1 14–11 in 36:56 and Game 2 19–11 in 36:03; Polymarket’s 93.5% pre-match expectation was emphatically vindicated.

Before the Series

The pre-match picture gave Leviatan little margin for error. FURIA arrived first in CBLOL at 20W-8L, while Leviatan stood at 7W-18L with a -9,404 average gold differential. The forecast pointed to FURIA’s broader carry pool and healthier lanes, and the series confirmed both advantages in different forms.

The pre-draft analysis correctly identified Jarvan IV, Ryze, Ezreal, and Ornn as champions capable of shaping the match. Ezreal delivered immediately through Ayu’s Game 1 lane domination. Jarvan IV gave Booki pressure through a 4/4/6 line and +495 GoldDiff@15, but it did not become a winning engine. Ryze remained useful for Tutsz, who posted 3/4/8 despite -971 GoldDiff@15, while Ornn supplied the durable front-line value expected from the prediction rather than a standalone carry performance.

Game 1 — Setting the Tone

Game 1 was close on the kill score, with FURIA beating Leviatan 14–11, but the crucial separation was unmistakable: Ayu’s Ezreal owned bot lane. His +1617 GoldDiff@15 gave FURIA a carry threat Leviatan never fully contained, and his 54% kill participation ensured that lane advantage traveled into the rest of the map.

This was also where the live draft model missed. It gave Leviatan 52%, and Booki’s Jarvan IV initially looked capable of justifying that edge. Yet FURIA’s composition found more practical value. Tutsz’s Ryze joined fights effectively even from behind in lane gold, while Ayu supplied the damage that converted narrow openings into a 36:56 win.

Game 2 — The Pivot

Leviatan’s best chance to break the series came in Game 2. Strensh built +1615 GoldDiff@15 on Mel, mirroring the bot-lane deficit suffered by Ayu’s Ashe. This should have been the platform for Leviatan’s comeback, but the team could not make its early advantages cohere.

Instead, Tatu’s Trundle became FURIA’s anchor. His 5/1/6 score and 11.00 KDA punished every attempt to force a decisive fight, while Ayu’s Ashe overcame lane hardship to finish 4/3/6. The Ashe–Seraphine engage gave FURIA reliable ways to start battles, and Booki’s Wukong fell to 0/6/5. Unlike Game 1, the 52% live draft projection favored FURIA, and this time the draft edge translated directly into a 19–11 victory.

Aftermath

The sweep extended FURIA’s run to 5 and reinforced why its standing was more than a table statistic. Game 1 showed that FURIA could win through a dominant lane; Game 2 showed it could absorb a deficit, deny a snowball, and win through coordinated fights. Leviatan did not lack isolated advantages, but it lacked the conversion needed to challenge a side with multiple carry routes.

Polymarket Trajectory

Polymarket read the broad series correctly from the outset: FURIA’s 93.5% pre-match price reflected a substantial gap in form, lane health, and available win conditions. The market became even more convinced after the opening result, but its most revealing signal was not simply confidence in FURIA—it was how the games exposed different reasons for that confidence. The Game 1 draft-close outlook favored Leviatan despite FURIA’s eventual win, showing that draft theory alone could not account for Ayu’s bot-lane execution. By Game 2, the market’s 52% FURIA draft lean aligned with the result. Earlier roster and lane data offered the clearest warning: Leviatan could create pressure, but its season-long gold deficit made sustained conversion far less reliable.
