Kaze's Sylas Explosion Ends Fluxo W7M's Hopes in CBLOL

The stakes could not have been higher in this decisive Game 3 of the CBLOL 2026 Season Split 1 Playoffs. With the series tied at 1-1, the winner would seize control of the bracket, and RED Canids ensured they would be the ones leading the charge. In a performance that felt less like a match and more like a clinical execution, the blue side dismantled Fluxo W7 7M, leaving the opposition with almost nothing to show for their efforts.

Key Takeaways

• Kaze delivered a legendary performance on Sylas, posting a staggering 11/0/2 KDA to single-handedly break the mid-lane.
• RED Canids established a massive +17,760 gold lead over Fluxo W7M by the end of the match, effectively starving their opponents of resources.
• STEPZ dominated the jungle with a 13.00 KDA on Rek'Sai, securing a crucial Baron Nashor that sealed the game.

Early Game

As the match began, the draft advantage predicted for RED Canids materialized with terrifying efficiency. While the pre-draft analysis suggested RED might need to ban Renekton, the team instead trusted zynts to handle the matchup on Jayce. This gamble paid off instantly. The jungle pressure from STEPZ was suffocating; his Rek'Sai was everywhere, creating a +1,776 gold lead in the jungle by the fifteen-minute mark. On the opposite side, Peach's Xin Zhao struggled to find any footing, falling behind significantly as the RED side controlled the tempo. The lanes were bleeding gold for the red side, with BAO's Smolder already facing a massive -2,565 gold deficit at the fifteen-minute mark.

The Turning Point

The momentum shifted irrevocably during a mid-game skirmish near the river. Kaze, playing a hyper-aggressive Sylas, found a perfect flank that caught cody's Ahri out of position. This play didn't just result in a kill; it ignited a chain reaction. RED Canids' support, frosty, utilized Rakan to follow up with massive crowd control, contributing to his incredible 13.00 KDA. As Fluxo W7M collapsed, they found themselves unable to respond to the sheer burst damage. The gold gap, which was already widening, began to look insurmountable as RED secured the first Dragon and began pushing into the mid lane.

Closing Out

By the time the clock hit the 25:20 mark, the game was essentially over. RED Canids had secured 10 towers and a Baron Nashor, effectively erasing any hope of a Fluxo W7M comeback. The sheer disparity in kills—17 for RED versus a lonely 1 for Fluxo—told the story of a complete shutdown. Morttheus on Jhin provided the steady, lethal artillery needed to clean up any remaining resistance, finishing with a flawless 1/0/10 scoreline. Fluxo W7M's composition, which relied on Smolder's scaling, simply never had the time to breathe.

Closing Perspective

This victory confirms that RED Canids are the team to beat in this playoff run. They successfully executed a high-risk, high-reward draft that neutralized the scaling potential of Fluxo W7M. While Fluxo showed grit in the first game of the series, the sheer mechanical dominance displayed by Kaze and STEPZ in this third game was a masterclass in League of Legends. RED Canids now move forward with immense momentum, leaving a stunned Fluxo W7M to regroup.
