G2 Esports Edges Movistar KOI in LEC Game 3 Ezreal Draft

TL;DR: In LEC Game 3, G2 Esports on blue side meets Movistar KOI on red side with the draft model forecasting a 52% to 48% edge for G2. Polymarket prices G2 at 70% for the game and 94% for the series now after a sharp 24 percentage point move. The standout draft fact is Movistar KOI selecting Ezreal with a 45% win rate over 98 LEC games against Caitlyn at 71% over 14 games.

Movistar KOI committed to Ezreal for Supa despite its 45% win rate across 98 LEC games, aiming to build a scaling bot lane that can pair with Ahri and Bard for late-game carry potential. The choice forces early pressure through Elyoya's Qiyana and Alvaro's Bard to blunt Caitlyn's range and traps, otherwise G2's bot lane will snowball quickly. Success depends on whether the red side can convert roaming advantages before Hans Sama's Caitlyn takes over the map.

Compositions: G2 Esports vs Movistar KOI

G2 Esports runs an engage-heavy teamfight setup with Shen, Skarner, LeBlanc, Caitlyn and Lux that seeks early skirmishes and mid-game picks before scaling into a strong late game. The blue side wants to use Skarner and Lux utility to enable Caitlyn's poke while Shen provides frontline lockdown. Movistar KOI fields a roaming assassin and control composition with K'Sante, Qiyana, Ahri, Ezreal and Bard focused on pick opportunities and bot lane disruption to stall G2's scaling curve.

Draft Edge

G2 holds a modest draft edge through superior duo synergy at 0.576 and stronger player champion win rates on key carries. The Caitlyn-Lux pairing offers clear win conditions in poke and zone control while KOI must rely on Qiyana and Bard roams to create chaos before Ezreal scales. The Ezreal pick looks forced by bans rather than a planned counter, giving G2 the clearer path to early advantages.
