Top players by damage
TL;DR: Facing elimination in the LES 2026 Summer Split, UCAM Esports found another gear to equalize against Movistar KOI Fénix. A decisive jungle performance from bluerzor on Wukong turned a narrow draft deficit into a 21-6 rout, restoring belief in a suddenly open series.
Key Takeaways
- bluerzor built a remarkable +1614 gold diff@15 on Wukong, converting an early jungle advantage into UCAM Esports’ overwhelming map control.
- ANDARIEL delivered a flawless 6/0/4 on Ezreal, ensuring Movistar KOI Fénix had no answer once UCAM Esports began snowballing.
- UCAM Esports finished with 55.2k to 40.9k gold and 9 towers to 1, proving this was not merely an upset but a complete takeover.
Building the Lead
Movistar KOI Fénix entered Game 2 with a 51% live-model draft edge, with the draft read rising as high as 54% in their favor. Their Vi-Ahri-Leona core promised pick power, while 13’s Jhin was meant to capitalize on any caught target.
Instead, UCAM Esports turned the proposed weakness into its winning route. bluerzor’s 7/0/11 Wukong repeatedly reached the back line before the opposition could establish its engage, posting 86% KP and making XnS’s Vi look a step behind throughout the early game.
The jungle gap spread quickly into the solo lanes. Kozi used Gnar to build a crushing +1518 gold diff@15, while UCAM’s coordinated pressure denied Movistar KOI Fénix the stable lanes their draft required. The predicted draft advantage never materialized in-game because its picks never gained the tempo needed to execute their combinations.
The Numbers Tell the Story
This was a stomp measured in every important resource. UCAM Esports closed the kill race 21-6, claimed 2 dragons to 1, secured the game’s only 1 barons, and ripped down 9 towers to 1 in just 25:00.
iLevi’s Rell finished 1/0/15, an almost perfect record for the support who enabled every engage. His protection gave the carries room to operate, especially when Movistar KOI Fénix needed Leona or Vi to find a clean opening.
In mid lane, ESCIK’s Lissandra produced 3/3/6 and held a +213 gold diff@15 over Ahri. That small numerical lane edge mattered because it removed the freedom for Fresskowy to roam and support the intended pick composition.
The Final Push
Once UCAM Esports had control, the finish was ruthless rather than reckless. ANDARIEL’s Ezreal remained untouched at 6/0/4, punishing every attempted defense while the front line forced Movistar KOI Fénix away from objectives.
The result was a 14k gold lead by the end and an emphatic answer to the first game’s 25-15 defeat. UCAM Esports did not simply survive the elimination pressure; they transformed it into momentum, bringing the LES best-of-three level at 1-1.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket treated this game as close, pricing Movistar KOI Fénix at 52% and UCAM Esports at 48% at draft close. That coin-flip view was more accurate than the draft model’s slight preference, but the market did not anticipate how completely UCAM would win the jungle matchup. The Vi-Ahri-Leona draft had theoretical pick tools, yet bluerzor’s Wukong dictated the pace and prevented those tools from becoming a coherent game plan. At series level, Movistar KOI Fénix fell from 78% to 50%, while UCAM Esports rose from 22% to 50%. The next game is now a true decider, with momentum firmly reset.
