T1 Turns a Draft Edge Against Movistar KOI Into a Worlds Sweep

TL;DR: Facing elimination after losing Game 1, Movistar KOI needed a win to keep the series alive, but T1 turned the game into a one-sided closeout. Doran’s 4/0/7 Gwen and +1,332 gold at 15 minutes powered the top-side gap, while Peyz’s 13.0 KDA Jhin anchored a 22-9 kill win and T1 claimed 3 dragons to 0.

Key Takeaways

• Doran built a +1,332 gold lead at 15 minutes on Gwen, turning top lane into T1’s clearest path to control.
• Peyz finished on 8/1/5 with a 13.0 KDA on Jhin, giving T1 a reliable damage anchor as the lead grew.
• T1 won the kill count 22-9 and secured 3 dragons to 0, converting its advantage into a decisive series closeout.

Building the Lead

With Movistar KOI one loss from elimination, the pressure was simple: win Game 2 or leave Worlds. Instead, T1 controlled the pace from the top side. Doran’s Gwen had a +1,332 gold differential at 15, and the final 4/0/7 line shows how that early advantage became a constant threat rather than a brief lane lead.

T1’s coordination made the gap harder to contain. Oner’s Jarvan IV contributed 13 assists, creating openings for teammates even without leading the damage, while Faker’s Orianna finished 5/2/10. Together, their engage and follow-up gave T1 a way to turn pressure into kills and map control.

The pre-draft analysis had flagged Jarvan IV and Ezreal, and both appeared. Jarvan IV delivered as a setup piece, with Oner’s 13 assists helping T1’s fights; Ezreal, played by Supa, dealt 29.8% of Movistar KOI’s damage but could not change the outcome. The pick’s damage share was real, but it did not translate into objectives or a comeback.

The Numbers Tell the Story

After 25:50, T1 held 57.5k gold to Movistar KOI’s 45.2k—a 12.3k difference—and had taken 9 towers while KOI had taken 0. The objective count was just as stark: T1 claimed 3 dragons to 0, while neither side secured a Baron. The numbers describe more than a kill-heavy game: T1 converted its lead into control across the map.

Peyz’s Jhin supplied the finishing power, ending 8/1/5 and accounting for 29.6% of T1’s damage. Doran stayed deathless, while Keria’s Karma added 16 assists. Movistar KOI found 9 kills, but no towers or dragons; its fights never opened a route back into the game.

The live draft model had favored Movistar KOI at 51%, but that edge did not materialize in-game. T1’s execution, particularly its top-side advantage and objective control, overwhelmed the model’s narrow pre-game lean.

The Final Push

With the lead established, T1 did not need a Baron to finish. Its tower advantage and dragon control restricted Movistar KOI’s options until the game ended in a 22-9 win. The result extended T1’s series lead rather than allowing KOI to equalize: T1 advanced from a 1-0 lead to a clean series victory.

Polymarket Market

At draft close, the game market gave T1 78% and Movistar KOI 22%. The favorite delivered, but the final scoreline reflects decisive execution rather than a close call: T1 finished 22-9 in kills, led by Doran’s 4/0/7 Gwen and Peyz’s 13.0 KDA. The pre-match series market had already leaned toward T1 at 86%, so Game 2’s outcome reinforced the existing expectation rather than flipping it. The market read the winner correctly, while the top-lane gap and T1’s 3-0 dragon control showed how firmly the game tilted. This result closes the series, Movistar KOI 0-2 T1; the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
