Disamis Drives Vivo Keyd Stars to CBLOL Series Close

TL;DR: With the CBLOL 2026 series on the line, Vivo Keyd Stars closed out Leviatan behind Disamis’s Lee Sin masterclass: 6/1/9 and a 15.00 KDA. Although zekas trailed heavily in top-lane gold, his Gnar helped shape the winning fights as Vivo Keyd Stars completed the expected sweep.

Key Takeaways

• Disamis delivered a 6/1/9 score and 15.00 KDA on Lee Sin, giving Vivo Keyd Stars the jungle control needed to finish the series.
• zekas played Gnar from a -1325 GoldDiff@15 deficit, yet his 3/2/6 line showed how teamfight execution overcame Leviatan’s top-side advantage.
• Vivo Keyd Stars won the kill race 17-9, matching their 82% pre-game market probability and ending Leviatan’s CBLOL 2026 run in this BO3.

Early Game

Leviatan entered Game 2 needing an immediate answer after Vivo Keyd Stars had taken Game 1 15-1 in 31:00. Instead, the early lanes offered a more complicated picture. Devost built a striking +1325 GoldDiff@15 on Twisted Fate, while the opposing top laner was forced to play from behind.

That edge did not spread cleanly across the Rift. Booki fell to -782 GoldDiff@15 on Skarner, precisely where the pre-series discussion had identified a jungle gap as Leviatan’s biggest danger. The official game feed lists duration as unknown and records 2.5k gold, 0 towers, 0 dragons, and 0 barons for each side, figures clearly incomplete beside the recorded player combat totals. What the available numbers do confirm is that the early game became a fight over pressure, not a reliable objective ledger.

The Turning Point

The pivotal force was Disamis, whose Lee Sin posted 6/1/9 with the reported 88% KP. His activity converted Vivo Keyd Stars’ jungle advantage into the space their composition required, denying Leviatan the clean pick setups that Alistar and Skarner needed.

Pre-draft analysis specifically flagged Ryze, and the pick delivered. Mireu’s Ryze finished 3/3/7, supplying scaling and follow-up damage without needing to carry every engagement alone. The live draft model had favored Leviatan at 50%, but that marginal edge never materialized on the Rift: Vivo Keyd Stars’ engage, poke, and coordinated responses proved more valuable than Leviatan’s lane-counter potential.

Closing Out

Vivo Keyd Stars did not win because every lane was ahead. zekas’s Gnar finished 3/2/6 despite the early gold hole, turning a supposed top-lane diff into a reminder that gold leads matter only when they can be converted into winning positions.

On the other side, Strensh produced 5/2/1 on Naafiri, but Leviatan could not turn that output into a comeback. Jeskla answered with 5/1/6 on Corki, and the 17-9 kill score captured the difference: Vivo Keyd Stars found the decisive fights, then made their pressure count when the game demanded closure.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket priced Vivo Keyd Stars at 82% at draft close, and Game 2 validated that confidence. The market had already leaned toward them before the series, with an 84% pre-match series probability, and their execution made the favorite’s case clear. What it could not fully capture was the shape of the game: Leviatan created a major +1325 top-lane gold edge, yet Vivo Keyd Stars still won through jungle influence and cleaner teamfighting. The 50% live draft preference for Leviatan therefore failed to translate into practical control. This result closes the series 0-2, with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
