Dplus Kia 2-0 Movistar KOI — Worlds 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: Dplus Kia swept Movistar KOI 2-0 at Worlds 2026, pairing a controlled 16-8 Game 1 with a 17-5 demolition in 25:10. Siwoo and Lucid established the first foothold; ShowMaker then made the second game a rout. The sweep confirmed Dplus Kia’s favourite status and ended KOI’s hopes in the series.

Key Takeaways

• Lucid was the series’ steady engine: his 3/0/8 Lee Sin game, an 11.0 KDA, and Dplus Kia’s 2 Barons to 0 helped break open Game 1.
• The most decisive swing came in Game 2, where ShowMaker reached +1997 gold at 15 on Syndra and finished 9/0/2.
• Dplus Kia won the series 2-0, with team-name-attached kill scores of Dplus Kia 16 – Movistar KOI 8 and Dplus Kia 17 – Movistar KOI 5; the second game lasted just 25:10.

Before the Series

The pre-series story carried two competing signals: Polymarket made Dplus Kia an 80% favourite, while the player spotlight pointed to Movistar KOI’s Elyoya, whose 6.8 KDA and 83.3% kill participation suggested an early-game engine capable of disrupting that forecast. Dplus Kia’s recent wins over T1 and G2 Esports supported the favourite label, and the final result vindicated it.

The champion predictions were more mixed. The pre-draft read highlighted Vi, Ezreal, and Jarvan IV. Ezreal appeared for KOI in Game 1, but his 2/3/4 line did not produce the predicted carry threat. In Game 2, Elyoya’s Vi and Lucid’s Jarvan IV both appeared, as forecast, but their outcomes diverged: Lucid helped Dplus Kia set up fights, while Elyoya ended 1/4/2. The picks arrived; the expected impact did not arrive evenly.

Setting the Tone

Game 1 tested whether KOI’s poke could keep Dplus Kia at arm’s length. The draft model narrowly favoured Movistar KOI at 51%, but that edge never became an advantage on the Rift. Siwoo built a +933 gold difference at 15 on Ornn, giving Dplus Kia a sturdy frontline and the means to choose when fights began. KOI’s Jayce finished 1/5/2, while Siwoo’s Ornn ended 5/3/8.

Dplus Kia turned that lane foothold into control, taking 2 Barons to 0 before closing at 39:20. Lucid’s spotless 3/0/8 performance complemented the top-lane lead: KOI could not find a reliable way through the frontline or punish the jungler. The result was a clear opener, not a narrow escape.

Sealing It

KOI needed to answer with a win, but the second draft model again favoured them by 51%—and again, the projection failed. This time the gap opened through mid. ShowMaker’s Syndra was +1997 gold at 15, then finished 9/0/2, turning Dplus Kia’s pressure into fights and objectives before KOI could establish a comeback.

Career’s Bard added a 13.0 KDA as Dplus Kia claimed 3 dragons to 0 and a Baron. Elyoya’s Vi, identified as a potential series-swinging pick, could not make KOI’s engage stick. Dplus Kia finished 17-5 in kills and ended the game in 25:10, sealing the sweep rather than allowing the series to stretch.

Aftermath

The arc was one of increasing control: a Game 1 advantage built around Siwoo’s lane and Lucid’s clean play became a Game 2 rout powered by ShowMaker. Dplus Kia swept Movistar KOI 2-0, while the repeated 51% draft-model edge for KOI proved a useful reminder that a forecast is only a starting point. Execution, especially in the mid lane and around objectives, decided this Worlds series.

Polymarket Trajectory

The market began with Dplus Kia as a strong series favourite, and the result ultimately supported that reading. Its confidence rose after the first win, correctly interpreting the opener as more than a one-off: Dplus Kia had controlled the Baron game and limited KOI’s routes back in. The draft models offered a counter-signal, favouring KOI by 51% in each game, but those estimates missed how well Dplus Kia could turn lane advantages into coordinated objective control. Elyoya’s pre-series numbers made KOI’s upset path plausible, yet the series’ decisive evidence was on the Rift: Dplus Kia’s recent form and its ability to accelerate after gaining a lead. The market got the winner right; the draft read did not.
