Solary Extend WSCI Run to Six With Game 2 Stomp

TL;DR: Solary dismantled Movistar KOI Fénix in Game 2 at the World Star Challengers Invitational, winning in 23:10 off a 18-6 kill score, an 11-1 tower edge and a 51.6k to 42.5k gold gap, moving to 2-0 in the BO5 and stretching their unbeaten run to six.

Solary have not lost yet, and this was the game that showed why. After taking Game 1 33-14 in 25:30, they needed only one more map to put Movistar KOI Fénix on the brink of elimination, and they got it the way they have gotten everything this split: through a bot lane that simply does not lose.

Key Takeaways

- Aetinoth put Lucian on a 10/2/2 scoreline and a +3240 gold lead at 15 minutes, the exact bot-lane mismatch the pre-draft read had circled. - Piero's Milio finished 0/0/13 — a 13.00 KDA — providing safety for his marksman all game long. - Solary claimed 3 dragons to 0 and 1 baron to 0, converting those objectives into an 11-1 tower count and a 9.1k gold cushion.

Building the Lead

The pre-draft analysis had flagged Lucian, and Solary took the champion and handed it to Aetinoth with a mandate: win the lane, then win the map. By 15 minutes the account read +3240 gold against 13's Xayah, a deficit that turned the bottom half of the map into Solary territory before the first objective fight even resolved. Piero rode shotgun with Milio, and the healer-marksman pairing never once looked in danger of losing a trade.

Movistar KOI Fénix tried to find answers elsewhere. XnS on Khazix kept himself nearly level at -479 gold at 15, and NightSlayer's Renekton actually sat +204 up in the top lane, while Fresskowy piloted Ryze to a +186 advantage mid. It was a map being won and lost in one lane, and the closing numbers showed it: 13 fell to 0/7/4 while Aetinoth's Lucian surfed forward without resistance.

The Numbers Tell the Story

By the end, the map was a monument to one-sided pressure. Solary banked 51.6k gold to KOI Fénix's 42.5k, a spread of roughly 9.1k, and the kill race closed at 18-6. Zicssi's Xin Zhao added 2/2/5 in the jungle, shoving early tempo into the bottom lane, and Jool's Annie threw 4/2/4 into the mix as a second engage threat that KOI Fénix could never answer. Kryze quietly held the top side on Dr. Mundo at 2/0/2, never dying, never letting the Renekton snowball become anything more than a nuisance.

KOI Fénix's structure told the harsher version of the story. One tower all game. Zero dragons. Zero barons. Myrtus on Rakan ended 1/2/4, spending the game lamping a fight he could not start on his own terms, and no member of the roster climbed above a 2.50 KDA.

The Final Push

The end came fast. Solary stacked dragon control early, took the baron on the back of their map-wide lead, and walked the base down while KOI Fénix had no waveclear, no vision and no answer. The nexus fell at 23:10, the shortest game of the series and the cleanest.

It matters more than the scoreline sounds. Solary now lead 2-0 in a BO5: KOI Fénix have to win three straight to survive, and the way they lost the bottom lane here gives them no obvious lever to pull. For Solary, this is a sixth straight win, and the champion pool that made Game 2 so easy — Lucian, Xin Zhao, Annie, Milio — is still mostly untouched.

Polymarket Market

The market had this one mostly right. Solary closed the draft at 64%, and the favourite delivered — but the margin was far beyond what the price implied. The pre-game numbers could see the unbeaten record and the +4,295 gold differential; they could not see Aetinoth ending +3240 gold at 15 on Lucian against Xayah.

The series market moved hard in response. Solary sat at 86% at draft close, and after this result they sit at 96% to 4%, a swing of +10.0pp. The pre-series anchor of 76% looks conservative now. For Game 3, the market is effectively asking KOI Fénix to solve a bot lane they have not solved in two attempts.

FAQ
