Before the Series

The pre-match series market strongly favored Movistar KOI Fénix at 90%, but the live draft model opened with the opposite call: Frites Esports Club at 51% for Game 1. That narrow modeled edge set up an early test of whether draft expectations could withstand execution. For KOI, the answer arrived through XnS, whose jungle performances gave the series its central thread: his pressure repeatedly bent fights and objectives toward his team.

Game 1 — Setting the Tone

Frites had the model’s 51% draft edge, but it failed to translate into a win. XnS’s Lee Sin finished 9/1/9, participating in 90% of KOI’s kills as Movistar KOI Fénix beat Frites Esports Club 20-11 in 31:30. At the other end of the map, 13 built a +1931 gold advantage at 15 minutes on Kaisa, then finished 7/3/7. KOI turned those advantages into 2 Barons to 0, 10 towers to 4, and a +13.2k gold finish.

The game-market favorite delivered, too: KOI entered at 78% and won. That result mattered beyond the opener. It put the series favorite ahead and made the mismatch between the live draft prediction and the actual result the first clear lesson of the series: a slight draft lean was no substitute for KOI’s successful execution.

Game 2 — The Pivot

Game 2’s live model favored Movistar KOI Fénix at 51%, and this time the prediction held. KOI won 15-10 in 31:10, taking the series to 2-0 and moving Frites to the edge of elimination. The game-market odds also favored KOI at 82%, and the favorite delivered again. Across the first two games, the market’s view of the matchup and the scoreboard aligned; KOI had earned control rather than relying on a single explosive opener.

Game 3+ — The Climax

Then the series broke its pattern. With KOI one win from closing out the EMEA Masters 2026 series, Frites answered with a 21-5 win in 28:20. The live draft model had Frites at 50%, and that even prediction translated into a win; the game market, by contrast, gave Frites only 26%, making the result a clear upset against expectations.

FlickeR’s Xayah was the engine, reaching +2226 gold at 15 and finishing 11/1/7. Seal’s Rakan added 21 assists and a 21.00 KDA, while Artanis’s Wukong went 5/0/12. Frites took 3 dragons to 0 and turned catches into sustained control. The comeback restored hope, but it did not erase KOI’s lead.

Aftermath

Game 4 ended the series in the supplied record after 2:40. The live model again leaned toward the winner, giving KOI 50%, and the game-market favorite also delivered: KOI entered at 78%. XnS finished 5/0/5 on Jarvan IV, while 13’s Tristana reached +3738 gold at 15. The recorded team totals were close—4.9k to 4.6k gold—with 0 towers, 0 dragons, and 0 barons for either side.

The pre-match series favorite prevailed, but Frites made it work for the result: KOI’s 3-1 victory required absorbing a decisive Game 3 reversal. XnS’s steady influence across the series, rather than an uninterrupted sweep, proved the defining difference.

Polymarket Trajectory

The market began with Movistar KOI Fénix heavily favored to win the series, and its confidence surged after KOI took the first two games. That reading was right about the eventual series winner and the first two game results, but it overstated how settled the contest was: Frites’ Game 3 win arrived despite a 26% game price. The sharpest lesson was not that the series favorite had been misidentified, but that a strong series position could still conceal a genuine in-game route back. The live draft calls offered a more mixed signal: they missed in Game 1, matched the winners in Games 2 and 3, and favored KOI in the closeout. Frites’ bot-lane performance showed how execution could turn an even draft outlook into a rout.
