On the surface, KOI actually looks like the team in better shape — 83% form against G2’s 67%, with four straight wins heading into this match. But surface level doesn’t tell the whole story here.
G2 owns this rivalry. The head-to-head sits at 3-1 in G2’s favor, and their wins haven’t been close — including a dominant 3-0 sweep as recently as February 2026. KOI’s only series win came in a single-game format in January. Whenever these two meet in a proper BO3, G2 has had the answers.
The mid lane matchup is the one everyone will be watching. Jojopyun has been the best player in the LEC this split — and arguably the best in the West. But Caps is the one player who can genuinely match him. When Caps is locked in and G2 is playing with playoff-level intensity, he doesn’t just survive that matchup — he wins it.

And that’s the other thing. G2 in the regular season can look sloppy and inconsistent. G2 approaching playoffs? Completely different animal. The urgency is starting to show in their recent results, and this feels like exactly the kind of match where that version of G2 shows up.
Pick: G2 2-1 — Caps vs Jojopyun will be a spectacle, but G2’s experience in this rivalry gives them the edge.
