Key Takeaways

• Fresskowy was the series’ spine, averaging 6.4 KDA across Ryze, Viktor, and Galio as KOI repeatedly shaped fights around his play.
• UCAM’s answer was emphatic: it won Game 3 21-6 and Game 4 27-8, turning a 2-0 deficit into a tied series and forcing a decider.
• Movistar KOI Fénix won the series 3-2. The first two games were competitive (20-8 and 21-17 in kills), UCAM’s pair of wins were lopsided, and KOI answered with a 19-11 Game 5 victory.

Before the Series

The pre-match draft model leaned narrowly toward KOI in Game 1, giving it 53% to UCAM’s 47%. That prediction held: KOI converted its composition into map control, taking all 4 dragons and finishing with an 11k gold lead in a 20-8 win. NightSlayer’s 8/1/8 Rumble supplied the standout individual performance, with 80% kill participation helping anchor the fights.

That opening set a pattern: the model’s small edge matched the winner in each of the first two games, but it never suggested the series would be straightforward. Game 2’s draft projection again favored KOI, 54% to 46%, and KOI won 21-17 in 30:14. The close kill count offered an early warning that UCAM could make the matchup uncomfortable even while trailing.

Trading Blows

KOI’s 2-0 lead looked commanding, but UCAM dismantled that impression. The live draft model favored UCAM by a sliver in Game 3, 50% to KOI’s 50%; that edge translated into a decisive 21-6 win in 30:13. The market, by contrast, had favored KOI 72% at draft close, making UCAM’s result a genuine upset relative to that forecast.

Game 4 confirmed that the turnaround was more than a single surprise. The model again leaned UCAM, 51% to 49%, and UCAM won 27-8 in 27:50. Its pressure turned the series into a sudden test of KOI’s composure: after the second straight lopsided defeat, the early lead no longer offered any protection. The team that had controlled the opening games now had to find a way to reset.

Fresskowy’s series-long consistency mattered most in that reset. His average 6.4 KDA across three different champions—Ryze, Viktor, and Galio—speaks to adaptability rather than reliance on one winning pick. Across the series, KOI’s victories showed it could build around his influence; UCAM’s back-to-back wins showed how quickly that structure could be broken.

The Decider

The Game 5 model returned to a narrow KOI lean, 50% to UCAM’s 50%, and this time the result followed the projection. KOI won 19-11 in 27:15, ending the series before UCAM could extend its surge. The market also favored KOI at draft close, 60% to 40%, so the decider delivered the expected winner after two games in which the market had misread UCAM.

That did not make the finish automatic. UCAM had just won two games by a combined 48-14 in kills; KOI needed to restore its earlier discipline rather than assume the first two games would repeat themselves. Its final 19-11 margin was controlled without being another blowout, the kind of response required after a momentum swing. Movistar KOI Fénix won the series 3-2, with Fresskowy’s adaptable presence providing the clearest thread through all five games.

Aftermath

The five-game result makes this more than a story of a favorite holding serve. KOI began with two wins, was forced to absorb UCAM’s emphatic answer, then found enough composure to win the deciding game. The contrast between the two halves—KOI’s 2-0 start and UCAM’s 2-0 run across Games 3 and 4—shows how thoroughly the series changed direction.

The draft model correctly picked the winner in all five games, though its margins were narrow and its Game 3 projection was even. That alignment offers a useful distinction: a favorable draft estimate was not a guarantee of control, and UCAM’s game wins proved that momentum could overturn the early series picture. For Movistar KOI Fénix, the 3-2 finish will be remembered as a team response shaped by Fresskowy’s steady, flexible play.

Polymarket Trajectory

The market began by strongly favoring Movistar KOI Fénix, and the first two wins reinforced that confidence: after Game 2, the series price had moved to 95% for KOI. That proved premature. UCAM’s consecutive wins forced a sharp reassessment, cutting KOI’s series standing to 66% after Game 4 and exposing how the opening read had underestimated UCAM’s capacity to reverse the matchup.

The clearest market failures came in Games 3 and 4, when UCAM won despite KOI being favored at draft close. The draft model had offered a more cautious signal: it leaned UCAM in both games, narrowly in Game 3 and by one point in Game 4. That contrast hinted at the possibility of a swing, even if it did not forecast the eventual series winner. KOI’s pre-match advantage ultimately held, but only after the market had to absorb UCAM’s comeback.
