Leviatan 2-0 RED Canids — CBLOL 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: Leviatan swept RED Canids 2-0 in CBLOL 2026, overturning an 89.5% pre-match forecast for RED Canids through Enga’s commanding mid lane and Booki’s objective control. The sweep mattered because Leviatan did not merely steal one upset—they denied the favorite a single game.

Key Takeaways

• The decisive moment was Booki’s Game 1 control on Skarner: his 1/0/11 and 12.00 KDA helped convert contested fights into 2 barons to 0, breaking RED Canids after their early jungle lead.
• Leviatan won 2-0 despite entering at 12% on Polymarket and taking Game 1 from just 18% at draft close; they won kills 15-9 in Game 1 and 20-7 in Game 2.

Before the Series

Everything pointed toward RED Canids. Their stronger early-game reputation, healthier season profile, and recent 2-0 over Leviatan supported the 89.5% pre-match prediction. The nightly meta read also identified the likely draft battleground: Varus carried 71.1% presence and a 56.7% ban rate, Orianna had 70.1% presence and a 50.2% ban rate, while Jarvan IV reached 62.7% presence.

The B1 options reinforced RED Canids’ apparent comfort: Ryze held 72.7% WR in 11 games, Jarvan IV posted 66.7% WR in 6 games, and Rumble owned 57.1% WR in 21 games. Yet Leviatan found the answer the forecast did not price in: cleaner execution around the champions that appeared.

Game 1 — Setting the Tone

Game 1 was where the prediction broke. RED Canids held a 51% live draft-model edge, and the anticipated Orianna-Jarvan IV combination appeared. On paper, Fuuu’s Orianna and STEPZ’s Jarvan IV offered lockdown, Shockwave threat, and poke follow-up. In practice, the composition never established control.

Enga’s Syndra made the middle lane Leviatan’s runway. His lead was not cosmetic; the +1144 gold@15 became repeated finishing damage, while STEPZ’s own +619 gold@15 and 3/5/3 could not turn RED Canids’ early pressure into a stable map. Leviatan even conceded dragons 1 to 2, then won the objectives that truly closed the game: 2 barons to 0 and 68.4k to 61.5k gold.

The flagged champions delivered unevenly. Jarvan IV created an early edge, but not a victory; Orianna never unlocked the predicted central engage plan. Booki’s Skarner instead supplied the control RED Canids lacked, and Leviatan’s 15-9 win transformed an upset into a credible series threat.

Game 2 — The Pivot

Game 2 removed any claim that Game 1 was a fluke. Leviatan won again, 20-7 in 34:31, and this time the 51% live draft-model advantage favored them. That narrow edge translated into the result, unlike RED Canids’ Game 1 edge.

The draft also validated the pre-series scouting: Varus, Ryze, and Nautilus all appeared. Devost’s Varus finished 0/0/0, while Fuuu’s Ryze and Shiku’s Nautilus also show 0/0/0 in the incomplete combat record. Those lines cannot judge their tactical impact, but their appearances confirmed the forecast’s pressure points. The anomalous -1:59 log and zero-objective trail cannot outweigh the official 34:31 result and 20-7 kill score: Leviatan closed the sweep on the Rift, not on the spreadsheet.

Aftermath

Leviatan’s 2-0 changes the meaning of every pre-series assumption. RED Canids’ early-game case was real, and their Game 1 draft edge was real, but neither survived Leviatan’s mid-jungle cohesion. Enga provided the series’ clearest carry performance; Booki provided the structure that made it matter. The predicted champions appeared, yet champion priority alone could not overcome Leviatan’s better conversions.

Polymarket Trajectory

Polymarket began with RED Canids as an 88% series favorite, a judgment aligned with their form but decisively wrong about this matchup’s execution. The market’s first major failure came at Game 1 draft close, when Leviatan’s 18% chance understated how dangerous Enga’s lane leverage and Booki’s control would become. After that loss, the series market adjusted sharply toward Leviatan, but it still treated RED Canids as the more likely Game 2 winner. That second miss is the larger series lesson: the market recognized that Game 1 changed the matchup, yet did not fully account for Leviatan’s ability to reproduce its composure. The earlier signal was not raw champion priority—it was how Leviatan converted mid pressure into Baron control.
