Key Takeaways
- Jojopyun turned -1013 gold@15 on Orianna into an 89% kill participation performance, proving that mid-lane influence mattered more than the early ledger.
- Myrwn’s Anivia finished 1/1/11 for a 12.00 KDA, giving Movistar KOI the control and safety to survive Natus Vincere’s two Barons.
- Supa carried the closing damage on Kaisa with 10/2/5, while Movistar KOI converted their 18-11 kill edge into seven towers.
Early Game
Movistar KOI entered Game 2 one win from closing the LEC 2026 Summer BO3 after a commanding Game 1, but Natus Vincere found the more comfortable opening. Poby’s Cassiopeia built a +1013 gold@15 advantage over the opposing mid laner, while NAV’s defensive draft promised scaling through SamD’s Corki.
That early picture matched the live draft model, which gave Natus Vincere 53% to win. It also challenged the pre-match read that Movistar KOI’s mid-jungle edge would be their cleanest route, as Elyoya’s Nocturne sat at -97 gold@15 despite contributing 2/4/11.
The Turning Point
The numbers at 15 minutes did not tell the whole story. Orianna was one of the pre-draft’s flagged champions alongside Anivia, and both delivered exactly the kind of late-fight structure KOI needed: one controlled space with command and shockwaves, the other made approaches punishingly narrow.
Rather than forcing isolated fights into Cassiopeia, Movistar KOI grouped around their reliable engage. Alvaro’s Leona posted 0/2/12, repeatedly creating the first opening for his team’s carries, while Jojopyun’s 5/2/11 line showed how completely he converted those openings into coordinated victories.
Closing Out
Natus Vincere did not collapse without resistance. Their two Barons and two dragons gave them ways back into the 40:00 game, yet Movistar KOI owned the map’s permanent rewards: seven towers to three and 75.1k to 65.5k gold.
Kaisa became the finishing blade once the fights stretched long enough, and her 10 kills left Corki unable to match the pace. With 18-11 kills, KOI finally broke through the Baron-powered resistance and completed the closeout that their scaling composition had patiently prepared.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket treated this game as nearly even at draft close, placing Movistar KOI at 47% and Natus Vincere at 53%. The market correctly recognized NAV’s draft tools: Cassiopeia’s lane advantage, Skarner’s anti-dive value, and Corki’s scaling all appeared in the game. What it did not fully price was KOI’s ability to make the mid-game about teamfight execution rather than lane gold, with Orianna’s 89% participation erasing the significance of her early deficit. Before the series, the market had already leaned KOI 56% to 44%, and the day ultimately validated that broader expectation. This result closes the series 2-0, with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
