Top players by damage
TL;DR: With the series on the line, FURIA closed out paiN Gaming as expected behind Tutsz’s mid-lane masterclass on Ryze. His 10/1/9 line and +2161 gold@15 turned Game 2 into a 26:30 stomp, sealing FURIA’s 0-2 CBLOL 2026 victory.
Key Takeaways
- Tutsz made Ryze the game’s pivot, converting a +2161 gold@15 advantage into a devastating 10/1/9 performance and 73% KP.
- Ayu’s Yunara finished 9/2/9 with +1359 gold@15, giving FURIA a second carry threat once the mid-game snowball began.
- FURIA won the kill score 26-7, claimed 9 towers, 3 dragons, and 1 barons, then finished with 58.9k gold to paiN Gaming’s 45.1k.
Building the Lead
FURIA entered Game 2 leading the series 1-0 and needing one clean win to close out paiN Gaming. The early story was a mid-lane diff: Tutsz’s Ryze found room to roam, accumulate resources, and deny paiN Gaming the lane pressure their pre-match outlook required.
The draft’s predicted battleground arrived exactly as advertised. Ryze was flagged before draft as a practical B1 priority, and his 75% WR in 12G profile translated into reliable scaling and map influence. Ezreal also appeared as forecast, but Hena’s 1/5/2 on the pick showed how completely FURIA shut down its expected stable-carry value.
The Numbers Tell the Story
The gold graph did not merely favor FURIA; it explained why paiN Gaming could not reset the game. By 15 minutes, the mid advantage was already +2161, while Tatu’s Poppy added +631 and a 2/2/16 scoreline that repeatedly blunted Vi-Leona engage attempts.
That protection mattered. JoJo’s Lulu went deathless at 1/0/17, allowing the winning side to turn every successful fight into more territory. paiN Gaming’s Keine produced 5/3/0 on Locke, but his individual kills could not offset the widening map deficit or create the coordinated comeback window.
The Final Push
Once FURIA reached their power points, the game became a march through objectives. Their 3 dragons and 1 barons created the space for 9 towers, compared with just 2 towers for paiN Gaming, and the final 26-7 kill score reflected how little room remained to contest.
Guigo’s Camille absorbed early adversity despite -128 gold@15, then contributed 4/2/6 as the side lanes opened. FURIA’s 58.9k to 45.1k gold lead reached nearly 14k, confirming this as the one-sided finish their composition promised.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket read this Game 2 correctly: FURIA were 72% favorites at draft close and delivered the expected outcome. The series market had already leaned their way at 76% before Game 1, but this match showed why the confidence held. The live draft model gave FURIA only 50%, yet execution made that edge look far larger: Poppy and Lulu denied paiN Gaming’s engage, while Ryze’s roaming and scaling overwhelmed the map. The market anticipated the winner, though not the scale of the 26-7 collapse. This result closes the series 0-2, and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
