Jarvan IV’s Pick Power Fuels Team WE’s DCGI Game 3 Surge

TL;DR: Facing elimination with the series tied, Team WE found another gear in Game 3, overwhelming FlyQuest 27-16 and taking control through Jarvan IV’s relentless engage. The 11-tower, 2-Baron win turned the model’s narrow draft lean into a decisive in-game advantage and put Team WE ahead in the 2026 DCGI series.

Key Takeaways

• Monki drove the attack on Jarvan IV, finishing 11/4/15 as Team WE converted his pressure into a 27-16 kill victory.
• About went deathless on Ashe, with 7/0/11 and 25.8% of Team WE’s damage anchoring the back line.
• Team WE built a 12.3k gold advantage, took 11 towers to 2, and secured 2 Barons without giving FlyQuest a Baron.

Building the Lead

With the series tied and elimination looming, Team WE needed more than a favorable read on paper. They found it in the combination of Jarvan IV’s engage and Alistar’s follow-up: FlyQuest’s poke could threaten from range, but it struggled to keep the fight at a distance once Team WE found an opening.

Monki made that opening count. His +1477 GoldDiff@15 marked a major early jungle advantage, and his 11/4/15 line showed how consistently he turned it into pressure. FlyQuest’s Ivern finished 2/5/13, with a -1477 GoldDiff@15 that reflected how sharply the jungle matchup tilted.

The model had favored Xi'an Team WE at 52%. That edge materialized in-game: Team WE’s engage tools repeatedly overcame FlyQuest’s attempt to control approach angles, turning a close pre-game prediction into a clear win.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Team WE finished with 27 kills to FlyQuest’s 16, and the economy made the gap even clearer: 77.4k gold to 65.1k. The 12.3k difference was not just a scoreboard flourish; it gave Team WE the freedom to press objectives while FlyQuest struggled to defend its map.

About’s Ashe supplied a steady back line, recording 7/0/11 without giving up a death. Meanwhile, FlyQuest’s Ziggs led his team with 32.3% of its damage, but that output could not compensate for the team’s shrinking territory. Team WE took 4 dragons to 1 and 11 towers to 2, leaving FlyQuest with little room to reset.

The Final Push

The final push reflected the same pattern as the early game: Team WE entered fights on its terms, then carried that advantage into objectives. Jarvan IV closed with 11/4/15, while Alistar added 17 assists to help secure the follow-up. Team WE claimed 2 Barons and FlyQuest claimed none, turning objective control into an unmistakable map-wide stranglehold. The match duration is unknown, but the result was emphatic: facing elimination, Team WE took the lead in the series.

Polymarket Market

The market read the winner correctly: Team WE closed at 76% at draft, then delivered the expected result. What the pre-game probability could not show was how decisively the engage matchup would play out; Monki’s 11/4/15 and Team WE’s 12.3k gold lead made the win far more one-sided than a narrow edge suggests. The broader market had already leaned toward Team WE before the series began, at 80%, and the post-game series price rose to 86%, from 76% at this game’s draft close. That shift makes Team WE the clear favorite entering the next game, though FlyQuest still has a path to respond.
