FURIA 2-1 RED Canids — CBLOL 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: FURIA won the series 2-1 over RED Canids in CBLOL 2026 because JoJo supplied the connective tissue across Bard, Karma, and Milio, averaging a 10.3 KDA. RED found its early-game formula in Game 2, but FURIA’s calmer teamfighting and bot-side recovery delivered the deciding close.

FURIA’s victory was not a clean march, but a revealing one: their predicted advantages survived a genuine RED Canids counterpunch, and JoJo remained the spine that let every other piece move with confidence.

Key Takeaways

• JoJo was the series MVP, averaging a 10.3 KDA across Bard, Karma, and Milio; his 1/1/11 Milio finish and 86% KP in Game 3 turned FURIA’s back line into the decisive platform.
• The most decisive swing came in Game 2, when Morttheus built +1448 GoldDiff@15 on Ezreal and RED Canids converted that lane lead into 5 dragons, 2 Barons, and a 17-7 kill win.
• FURIA won the CBLOL BO3 2-1, taking Game 1 21-10 in 39:00 and Game 3 14-5 in 29:40; RED’s 17-7 Game 2 rout proved the series was far closer than the final score alone suggests.

Before the Series

The pre-match call gave FURIA 83.5% to win, built on their stronger record, explosive bot lane, and greater consistency against a RED Canids side expected to need STEPZ to manufacture an early edge. That diagnosis largely held, but not without resistance.

The pre-draft watchlist also delivered a mixed verdict. Vi and Ezreal were genuine RED Canids weapons in Game 2, while Lucian helped FURIA close Game 3. Yunara appeared but could not carry RED’s decider, and Orianna appeared without becoming the series-defining control pick the meta numbers suggested. The prediction that these champions would matter was right; the prediction of which side would maximize them was more complicated.

Game 1 — Setting the Tone

FURIA opened by absorbing the exact pressure RED Canids were supposed to create. STEPZ’s Trundle held +878 GoldDiff@15, but Tatu refused to let an early wallet deficit define the jungle battle. His Nocturne ended 3/0/10 with 62% KP, repeatedly creating darkness-assisted first moves that isolated RED’s carries.

That reversal mattered more than the final 21-10 kill score. Ayu’s flawless 4/0/14 Sivir, an 18.00 KDA, gave FURIA a late-game anchor, while Guigo’s Camille added a bruising side-lane threat. The live draft model’s 53% lean toward FURIA translated into a victory, and so did Polymarket’s 78% draft-close confidence.

Game 2 — The Pivot

RED Canids answered by proving the series forecast had one vulnerable seam: FURIA could be broken if bot lane lost control before scaling arrived. Morttheus’s Ezreal finished 5/1/4, turning his +1448 GoldDiff@15 into relentless objective pressure while Ayu’s Caitlyn ended 0/5/4.

This was where two predictions failed. The live draft model favored FURIA at 52%, yet RED dismantled them 17-7, and the market’s 78% FURIA expectation became the series’ clearest miss. Conversely, STEPZ validated the pre-draft attention on Vi, supplying 1/1/8 as RED secured 5 dragons to 0, 2 Barons, and 68.0k gold to 57.8k. The underdogs had found their blueprint.

Game 3 — The Climax

The decider showed why FURIA remained the favorite. RED had demonstrated its snowball ceiling, but FURIA denied it room to grow. Tutsz created the central break on Ahri with +870 gold@15 and 57% KP, forcing RED to react rather than initiate.

Then JoJo’s Milio made every FURIA advantage safer. His 1/1/11, 12.00 KDA, and 86% KP protected the carries through every meaningful fight. Ayu’s Lucian contributed 1/2/10, while Morttheus’s Yunara finished 1/4/2; the watchlisted picks appeared, but only FURIA’s fit the winning composition. FURIA closed with 9 towers to 1, 58.2k to 48.2k gold, and a 14-5 kill score. The 51% draft-model edge finally translated.

Aftermath

FURIA won because they could lose control without losing identity. RED Canids exposed their early-game vulnerability in Game 2, especially through STEPZ and Morttheus, but could not repeat that conversion once FURIA restored mid control. JoJo’s support play was not merely protective; it connected FURIA’s carries, solo lanes, and engages into a team capable of resetting after adversity.

Polymarket Trajectory

Polymarket began with FURIA at 84%, correctly identifying the stronger series side but underestimating RED Canids’ capacity to force a reset. Game 1 reinforced that read and pushed confidence sharply toward FURIA, because the favorite had survived STEPZ’s early pressure and still taken control. Game 2 was the market’s decisive blind spot: despite another 78% FURIA draft-close price, RED’s Ezreal-Vi engine found the bot-side tempo that the pre-series analysis had warned was possible. After that upset, the market recalibrated rather than abandoning FURIA, and the final Game 3 favorite call proved accurate. The earlier signal was RED’s dependence on an early jungle-bot connection; it was dangerous when established, but too narrow to sustain across the full BO3.
