Dplus Kia vs Movistar KOI Prediction & Odds — Worlds (Oct 25, 2026)
Dplus Kia vs Movistar KOI prediction for Worlds: model probability, Polymarket odds, head-to-head record and draft preview.
TL;DR: Dplus Kia 79.5% vs Movistar KOI 20.5%. The clearest edge is Movistar KOI’s stronger early game, but Dplus Kia’s proven results against elite opposition make them the likelier series winner.
Both teams arrive with a 2W-0L Worlds record and a 4W-1L run across their last five series. Dplus Kia’s recent wins include 1-0 results over T1 and G2 Esports, while Movistar KOI beat CTBC Flying Oyster and Bilibili Gaming by the same score. Their recent losses came against different opponents: Dplus Kia fell 1-3 to T1, and KOI lost 0-3 to G2 Esports. That leaves little direct evidence to separate them, so the early-game numbers matter.
KOI have the more commanding start on paper: +4,746 average gold difference against Dplus Kia’s +1,784, alongside a better average kill margin. Myrwn is the lane to watch, with +517 gold difference at 15 minutes, while Elyoya combines a 6.8 KDA with 83.3% kill participation. Dplus Kia’s response may run through ShowMaker, whose 5.7 KDA and +106 gold difference at 15 give the team a stable mid-lane foundation, and Smash, who leads the roster with 31.0% damage share.
Draft could decide whether KOI translate that early pressure into control. Nocturne, at 94.7% presence and a 78.9% ban rate, looks like a leading ban candidate; Vi is another likely priority, with 73.7% presence. If Vi survives, Dplus Kia have reason to consider her early: she has a 100% win rate in 4 games as a B1 pick. KOI may instead look for an early Jarvan IV or a composition that gives Elyoya room to dictate the pace. The supplied results show no recent head-to-head series between these teams, making draft execution and adaptation in the BO3 especially important.
Polymarket gives Dplus Kia a 79.5% implied chance to win, against 20.5% for Movistar KOI. That gap reflects Dplus Kia’s strong 2-0 start and their recent wins over T1 and G2 Esports, while KOI’s uneven losses to G2 and weaker mid-lane gold numbers offer reasons for caution despite their excellent team gold difference and Elyoya’s impact.
Dplus Kia are the pick at 79.5% because their results against top opposition outweigh KOI’s stronger early-game profile.
