TL;DR: Karmine Corp closed the series with another one-sided win, beating Movistar KOI in 27:14 to extend their run to 4 straight victories. Busio's Shen stabilized every fight with an 11.0 KDA, while Yike's Qiyana turned the jungle gap into a fast 13k gold lead and a clean 2-0 finish.

Key Takeaways

  • Karmine Corp finished up 17-6 in kills and 60.6k to 47.9k in gold, the kind of gap that explains why this closeout never truly slipped from their control.
  • Yike on Qiyana delivered the game-breaking performance the pre-match analysis pointed toward, posting 9/2/3 and 24.8% damage as the early map swung hard in Karmine Corp's favor.
  • Busio's Shen anchored the win with an 11.0 KDA at 0/1/11, giving Karmine Corp the global cover to snowball towers 9 to 3 and secure 1 barons to 0.

Building the Lead

With a chance to close the BO3, Karmine Corp played like a team that understood the stakes from the opening minutes. They entered as the stronger 2026 side, and Game 2 quickly showed why. The early action flowed through Yike, whose Qiyana found angles again and again, converting pressure into picks and opening the map for the lanes around him.

That jungle edge mattered because the pre-match spotlight had fallen on him as the likely series decider, and he answered it emphatically. His 9/2/3 line was not empty stat padding; it was the engine of a stomp that let Karmine Corp stack a massive 13k gold lead before Movistar KOI could ever settle into controlled teamfighting.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The draft note that needed checking was Orianna, and she did appear for Movistar KOI through Jojopyun. She was supposed to be one of the key control picks in this matchup, but this time the prediction stopped at presence, not payoff. The mid laner ended 0/4/5 with 25.0% of his team's damage, a respectable share that never translated into real map control because Karmine Corp were already too far ahead.

Across the other side, the support pick was the real spine of the game. Busio on Shen finished 0/1/11, and that 11.0 KDA tells the deeper story: he did not need damage beyond 6.9% when his timing kept skirmishes clean and let his carries play forward. kyeahoo's Viktor added 27.5% damage in a composed 1/1/8 outing, while Caliste's Kai'Sa stayed deathless at 5/0/4.

The team totals made the mismatch obvious. Karmine Corp claimed 9 towers to 3, 2 dragons to 1, and 1 barons to 0, turning every won fight into permanent control of the map.

The Final Push

Once the Baron fell, the ending came quickly. Movistar KOI had a few moments through Myrwn's Ambessa, who posted 3/3/1, but they never had the gold to survive front-to-back fights for long. Karmine Corp were richer, faster on rotations, and far cleaner around objectives.

By the time the Nexus dropped, the 17-6 kill score matched the eye test. Karmine Corp did not just win the game; they extended their winning run to 4, closed the series 2-0, and looked every bit like a team whose LEC summer form is hardening into something more serious.

FAQ

Q: Why was Yike the decisive player in Game 2?

The pre-match analysis pointed to the jungle gap, and Yike proved it with a 9/2/3 game on Qiyana. His pressure helped create the 17-6 kill lead and the 60.6k to 47.9k gold advantage.

Q: Did Orianna deliver after being flagged in the draft analysis?

Orianna appeared, but not in the way Movistar KOI needed. Jojopyun finished 0/4/5, and even with 25.0% damage, the pick never slowed Karmine Corp's snowball.
