Anubis Gaming’s Ryze Test vs Solary in EMEA Masters
Anubis Gaming’s Ryze into Cassiopeia brings a 66.7% EMEA Masters matchup record, but Solary’s stronger draft and market support shape Game 1.


TL;DR: Anubis Gaming face Solary in EMEA Masters Game 1 with a Ryze–Cassiopeia matchup that has favored Anubis 66.7% over 9 EMEA Masters games. The draft model gives Anubis Gaming 40% and Solary 60%, while Solary’s stronger team indicators and favorable bot-lane matchups make the red-side composition the safer read.
Giyuu’s Ryze has gone 66.7% over 9 EMEA Masters games against Cassiopeia, giving Anubis Gaming a specific mid-lane angle into Jool. But Giyuu has only 1 EMEA Masters game on Ryze, so Anubis need to turn that matchup history into early pressure rather than assume it will translate automatically.
Compositions: Anubis Gaming vs Solary
Anubis Gaming draft Rumble, Kha'Zix, Ryze, Lucian, and Milio. The plan is to use Lucian and Milio for early lane pressure, then have Ryze and Rumble set up skirmishes around objectives. Kha'Zix can punish isolated targets, while Rumble’s area damage gives Anubis a teamfight threat. This composition needs early tempo and access to vulnerable carries; if the game slows, its engage and protection tools must create clean openings.
Solary answer with K'Sante, Qiyana, Cassiopeia, Yunara, and Lulu. Qiyana gives them pick and engage potential, with Cassiopeia able to punish close-range entries and Yunara carrying sustained damage in extended fights. Lulu offers protection and a way to help Yunara scale. Solary can contest early skirmishes, but their clearest route is to reach mid-to-late game with Yunara supported and Cassiopeia controlling approaches.
Key Picks and Stats
Top lane is nuanced: maged’s Rumble has a 52.5% global WR over 1570G and 47.3% in EMEA Masters over 148G; he is 100.0% over 3 EMEA Masters games on the champion, with a 3.8 KDA. Kryze’s K'Sante sits at 45.3% globally over 1391G and 47.0% in EMEA Masters over 134G, but has an 80.0% WR over 5 games with a 4.4 KDA. In the matchup, K'Sante has 51.9% over 52 EMEA Masters games against Rumble, a modest historical edge.
The jungle contrast favors Zicssi’s Qiyana: she has a 58.3% global WR over 412G and 61.0% in EMEA Masters over 41G, while Zicssi is 100.0% over 1 game with a 10.0 KDA. The model’s matchup sample is listed as 0 games, so its 54.4% Qiyana figure against Kha'Zix should not be treated as a reliable head-to-head record. Theocacs has a 72.4% global WR over 29 Kha'Zix games, but his EMEA Masters mark is 0.0% over 1 game.
Mid is Anubis’s strongest matchup argument: Ryze has 55.5% in EMEA Masters over 137G, and Giyuu is 100.0% over 1 Ryze game with a 5.0 KDA. Jool’s Cassiopeia has 53.8% in the league over 80G and a 75.0% WR over 4 games, with a 4.2 KDA. Cassiopeia’s 33.3% EMEA Masters record against Ryze over 9G reinforces the danger for Solary, though the sample is small.
Bot lane points the other way. Shy Carry’s Lucian has a 49.1% global WR over 998G and 50.0% in EMEA Masters over 98G; his 100.0% over 4 league games comes with a 5.1 KDA. Aetinoth’s Yunara posts 50.8% globally over 1381G and 54.0% in EMEA Masters over 139G, with a 77.8% WR over 9 games and a 3.7 KDA. Yunara has 68.4% over 19 EMEA Masters games against Lucian. Support also leans Solary: B Butcher’s Milio has 46.1% in the league over 89G and 100.0% over 5 games, while Piero’s Lulu has 55.6% over 124G and 60.0% over 10 games. Lulu has 65.0% over 20 EMEA Masters games against Milio.
Draft Edge
Solary have the broader draft edge: their model figures lead in champion WR, matchup WR, and duo synergy, while their bot lane has the clearest league-specific advantages. Anubis’s route is to exploit the Ryze–Cassiopeia matchup and give Kha'Zix early access to isolated targets. Solary should protect Yunara, use Qiyana to create picks, and avoid letting Ryze dictate objective fights.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket prices Game 1 at Anubis Gaming 24% and Solary 76%; the Series market now stands at Anubis Gaming 14% and Solary 86%. No series pre-match odds were provided, so movement from the pre-match price cannot be verified. The Game market is 10 percentage points more optimistic about Anubis than the Series market, while Solary’s Game price is 10 points lower than its series price. That split fits the draft: Solary look stronger across the full matchup, but Anubis have a plausible one-game upset route through Giyuu’s Ryze and the mid-lane record.
Prediction
The model calls Anubis Gaming 40% and Solary 60%. Solary remain the pick, but the model is more cautious than Polymarket because Anubis have a sharp mid-lane counter-angle and strong team form at 0.800 versus Solary’s 0.900. I would keep the model’s 40–60 split rather than move toward the market’s wider Game gap; the small Ryze sample and Solary’s bot-lane edge are the key uncertainties.
FAQ
Q: Can Giyuu’s Ryze exploit Jool’s Cassiopeia in Game 1?
The matchup supports Anubis: Ryze has a 66.7% EMEA Masters record over 9 games against Cassiopeia. Giyuu’s own Ryze sample is just 1 league game, though, so the pick still needs a strong early execution.
Q: Why does Solary’s bot lane have the draft advantage?
Yunara has a 68.4% EMEA Masters WR over 19 games against Lucian, and Lulu has a 65.0% WR over 20 games against Milio. Those matchup records reinforce Solary’s favorable scaling setup.
