Building the Lead
G2 Esports entered Game 2 needing one more win to close the series. BrokenBlade's Kled immediately punished Myrwn's Renekton in the top lane, banking a +987 gold@15 advantage through superior wave management and early skirmishes. SkewMond's Poppy complemented the plan by shutting down Elyoya's Jarvan IV attempts at ganks. The pre-draft analysis had flagged Jarvan IV as a key threat, and it appeared in the draft, yet Elyoya finished with only 2/5/5 and could not generate the expected early pressure.
The Numbers Tell the Story
By the 31 minute 50 second mark G2 held 67.6k gold to Movistar KOI's 54.4k, a 13.2k gap built on 10 towers to 1, 1 baron to 0, and identical 2 dragons each. The kill score reached 21-8. The live draft model had favored Movistar KOI at 51 percent, but that edge never materialized once G2 avoided early deaths on the Kalista and reached mid-game scaling with Kled, Poppy, and Akali. Labrov's Lulu enabled safe engages while Hans Sama's Yunara and Caps' Akali converted the gold into objectives.
The Final Push
G2 extended the lead through coordinated picks around the baron pit. Labrov's Lulu ultimate and shields kept the team alive during a decisive teamfight that added four kills and the final towers. Movistar KOI's Kalista composition created early variance but collapsed once the gold deficit reached double digits. G2 closed the game at 31:50 with total control of the map.
Polymarket Market
The pre-game Polymarket odds correctly pegged G2 Esports at 70 percent to win this game, aligning with their strong 71.1 percent seasonal record.

The Kalista pick introduced variance but failed to generate early leads for KOI. The market anticipated the favorite's victory from the outset. This result closes the series (3-0) and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
