LØS Defy a 21% Call and Set CBLOL Playoff Tone
LØS stunned FURIA in CBLOL 2026 playoffs, overcoming a 21% market call as Ryze, Jarvan IV and Trundle turned Game 1 into a statement.
TL;DR: LØS entered Game 1 as the 21% call, ignored it, and beat FURIA to open the CBLOL 2026 playoffs. The official objective log shows 0 towers, dragons and barons in a recorded 0:20, but the player scorelines reveal a fierce skirmish game won through LØS’s superior scaling and composure.
Key Takeaways
- LØS turned a 21% pre-game market call into a 1-0 series lead, immediately overturning the expected script.
- Feisty made Ryze count with a 5/2/5 line and 5.00 KDA, overcoming a -540 GoldDiff@15 through later-fight impact.
- Curse delivered the predicted Jarvan IV value, finishing 1/4/14 for a 3.75 KDA despite a -480 GoldDiff@15.
Early Game
FURIA appeared to own the lanes, with Guigo building a striking +1624 GoldDiff@15 on Olaf while posting 5/4/7. That top-side advantage was reinforced by Tutsz, whose Annie reached +540 at 15 minutes and contributed 2/3/8 to FURIA’s engage threat.
LØS, however, were built to absorb pressure. Duduhh’s Sivir sat at -228 GoldDiff@15 but still produced 4/3/7, while the recorded team totals remained level at 2.5k gold each. With 0 towers, 0 dragons and 0 barons officially registered, this was not a conventional objective race; the decisive evidence lies in the fights.
The Turning Point
The pre-draft prediction specifically flagged Jarvan IV, and the pick delivered as expected. Curse’s 1/4/14 showed that his role was not to lead the damage sheet, but to create the corridors where LØS’s scaling carries could operate.
That structure let Ackerman turn Karma’s modest 0/2/13 into a protective platform for the back line. FURIA’s Sejuani-Annie engage had the early gold to threaten a snowball, yet it could not consistently erase Ryze and Sivir before the extended fight favored LØS.
Closing Out
The finish belonged to LØS’s ability to convert messy exchanges, not to a visible tower or Baron siege. Zest’s Trundle endured a -1624 GoldDiff@15 yet answered with 6/5/7, repeatedly giving the winning side another frontline threat after Olaf had gained control.
Across the map, Ryze’s 5/2/5 and Sivir’s 4/3/7 supplied the cleaner scaling promised by the draft read. FURIA had strong individual numbers—Shini finished 3/2/7 on Sejuani—but LØS found the better collective finish and claimed Game 1.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket did not read this game correctly under the supplied 21% pre-game call for LØS. Before the series, the market had leaned toward LØS at 74% versus FURIA’s 26%, then the game-level framing made the eventual winner the outsider. The draft offered a clue the market undervalued: Jarvan IV gave LØS reliable engage, while Ryze-Sivir-Karma supplied the scaling FURIA had to break early. FURIA’s lane leads, especially Olaf’s +1624 at 15 minutes, were real, but execution did not translate them into recorded objectives. After the result, the series market moved from FURIA 18% and LØS 82% to FURIA 14% and LØS 86%, strengthening LØS’s hold entering Game 2.

Curse finished 1/4/14 on Jarvan IV, providing the engage that let LØS’s scaling composition survive FURIA’s early gold leads.
Q: Did FURIA’s top-lane advantage decide Game 1?
No. Guigo earned +1624 GoldDiff@15 on Olaf, but LØS’s coordinated late-fight execution converted the game despite that advantage.
