FlyQuest 2-1 Shopify Rebellion — Demacia Cup Global Invitational 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: Gryffinn was the spine of FlyQuest’s 2-1 series win over Shopify Rebellion at the 2026 Demacia Cup Global Invitational, averaging 9.8 KDA across Vi, Chogath, and Shyvana. After Shopify’s Game 2 upset, FlyQuest bent the decider around its jungler and closed the series in 25:20.

Key Takeaways

• Gryffinn was the series MVP, averaging 9.8 KDA across three champions; his 4/0/11 on Vi opened the series, and his 6/0/7 on Shyvana sealed it.
• Shopify Rebellion’s 21-10 Game 2 win, powered by Zinie’s +811 gold at 15 and Zeyzal’s 19.00 KDA, briefly overturned the series’ momentum.
• FlyQuest won the series 2-1: its 22-5 Game 1 and 17-3 Game 3 bookended the lone loss, while the deciding game ended in just 25:20.

Before the Series

FlyQuest entered the DCGI matchup with a market advantage and stronger average gold difference at 15 in every lane shown. The pre-match prediction highlighted Gakgos as a potential difference-maker from top: his +279 average gold at 15 contrasted with Fudge at -608. Game 1 seemed to validate that read, as Gakgos’ 5/0/8 on Ambessa added another threat to a FlyQuest attack led by its jungle-support connection.

The pre-draft analysis named Vi and Kalista as champions to watch. Vi appeared in Game 1 and delivered: Gryffinn went 4/0/11, helping FlyQuest turn its early advantage into a 22-5 kill win. Kalista’s pre-draft case was more tentative: the available read cited 66.7% WR over 3G and warned that the small sample could not establish a trend. The supplied game summaries do not identify a Kalista appearance, so that prediction cannot be judged as a successful in-game pick here.

Trading Blows

FlyQuest’s opener was not just a kill lead; it was a map-wide grip. Cryogen’s Renata Glasc finished 2/2/16 with 82% KP, connecting the team’s fights, while FlyQuest took 2 barons to 0 and finished 13.2k gold ahead. Shopify were left chasing an opponent that had turned clean engages into objectives and a commanding lead.

That control made the market’s next call look even safer: at Game 2 draft close, FlyQuest were favored, and the live draft model also gave them 51%. Both edges failed to translate. Shopify answered with 21 kills to FlyQuest’s 10, a 12.1k gold advantage, and 4 dragons to 0. Zinie’s Sylas built a +811 gold at 15 lead, while Bvoy’s Mel finished 12/1/2 and Zeyzal helped anchor the fights with 19.00 KDA. Shopify’s engage through Rakan and Wukong made the game’s practical terms matter more than the model’s narrow prediction. The series was level, and FlyQuest’s opening dominance no longer offered any protection.

The Decider

The Game 3 model reversed the direction of the Game 2 call, narrowly favoring Shopify Rebellion at 51%. Again, that draft edge did not become a result: FlyQuest won 17-3, with Gryffinn’s Shyvana turning into the centerpiece of a ruthless response.

The pressure began in bot lane. Massu reached +1439 gold at 15 on Yunara, giving FlyQuest room to set the pace, while Gryffinn combined 6 kills and 7 assists without a death. FlyQuest claimed 4 dragons to 0 and ended at 54.2k gold to Shopify’s 40.4k. After losing control in Game 2, FlyQuest had rebuilt its advantage around the jungler, then translated it into objectives and a decisive finish.

Aftermath

The full-distance win belonged to FlyQuest, but the arc made its resilience as important as its opener. Shopify’s Game 2 showed how quickly the series could swing when Zinie and Zeyzal unlocked the map. Yet FlyQuest did not repeat the same defeat in the decider: Gryffinn’s Shyvana and Massu’s lane advantage compressed the comeback into a short, controlled final game.

The pre-match expectation of a FlyQuest win held in the end, but not without a serious interruption. The draft models were less reliable: the 51% FlyQuest lean in Game 2 lost, and Shopify’s 51% lean in Game 3 lost as well. Across the full League of Legends series, FlyQuest’s clearest through-line was Gryffinn: three different champions, an average 9.8 KDA, and a decisive hand in both wins.

Polymarket Trajectory

The series opened with FlyQuest favored, a reading that ultimately matched the 2-1 result, but the route exposed the limits of judging the matchup by its pre-series shape alone. Game 1 reinforced the favorite’s position; Shopify’s response then forced the market to reassess, even though its Game 2 draft-close odds still placed it behind. The most notable warning was not a price but the game itself: Shopify’s engage and Zinie’s mid-lane lead overwhelmed the narrow draft-model edge for FlyQuest. By the decider, the model leaned slightly toward Shopify, yet FlyQuest’s bot-lane pressure and Gryffinn’s impact made that forecast irrelevant. The market read the eventual series winner correctly, but the game-level calls could not capture how sharply execution shifted from one game to the next.
