Anubis Gaming’s Maokai Test vs Trundle in EMEA Masters

TL;DR: Ruddy Corporation face Anubis Gaming in EMEA Masters Game 4, with the model favoring Anubis 63% to 37%. The defining draft question is Anubis jungler Theocacs’ Maokai: he has a 41.2% EMEA Masters WR over 17G, while Ruddy’s Ano has Trundle, which is 63.6% into Maokai globally over 11G.

Anubis Gaming are asking Theocacs to make Maokai’s engage and control outweigh a difficult matchup into Ano’s Trundle; that is a deliberate bet, not a safe one. Maokai needs to create reliable openings before Trundle can disrupt his frontline, while the rest of Anubis’s composition buys time for Zeri and Yuumi to scale.

Compositions: Ruddy Corporation vs Anubis Gaming

Ruddy Corporation’s K’Sante, Trundle, Sylas, Tristana, and Rell offer direct engage and skirmish power. Rell can start fights, while Trundle’s Pillar and Sylas’s stolen ultimates give Ruddy ways to disrupt Anubis’s setup. In the early game, the priority is helping Ano contest Maokai and creating space for Afriibi’s Tristana. In mid-game fights, Ruddy wants to dive alongside Rell; if the game stretches, Tristana offers strong carry potential.

Anubis Gaming have Fiora, Maokai, Syndra, Zeri, and Yuumi. Fiora brings split-push pressure, while Syndra supplies pick potential and Maokai offers engage. Anubis can use Syndra’s poke and crowd control to control approaches, then protect Shy Carry’s Zeri as Yuumi helps her scale. Their late-game plan depends on surviving Ruddy’s engage and giving Zeri room to deal damage.

Key Picks and Stats

Top is a counter-pick worth watching. Robocop’s K’Sante has a 45.4% global WR over 1358G and 46.5% in EMEA Masters over 127G, but Robocop is 0.0% over 1G on it in the league. Maged’s Fiora is 46.9% over 32G globally and 66.7% over 6G in EMEA Masters; his league record on the pick is 100.0% over 1G. Fiora is 77.8% against K’Sante globally over 9G and 100.0% in EMEA Masters over 3G.

Jungle is the draft’s sharpest clash. Ano’s Trundle is 52.6% over 437G globally and 47.4% over 38G in EMEA Masters. Theocacs’ Maokai is 47.8% over 184G globally, but only 41.2% over 17G in the league. The matchup favors Maokai in the supplied global sample—63.6% over 11G—though the model’s matchup sample is just 5 games.

Mid is close: Nano’s Sylas has a 47.4% global WR over 386G and 45.8% over 24G in EMEA Masters; Giyuu’s Syndra is 49.6% over 869G globally and 40.3% over 77G in the league. Syndra is 50.0% into Sylas over 28G globally. Bot favors Zeri on league form: Afriibi’s Tristana is 49.3% globally and 45.5% in EMEA Masters, while Shy Carry’s Zeri is 47.7% globally and 57.9% in the league. Shy Carry is 100.0% over 1G on Zeri, with a 24.0 KDA. Support also tilts toward Anubis by league results: J3rkie’s Rell is 32.6% over 46G in EMEA Masters; B Butcher’s Yuumi is 80.0% over 5G.

Draft Edge

Anubis Gaming have the stronger overall draft indicators: 0.545 duo synergy to Ruddy’s 0.511, and a 0.521 matchup WR to 0.479. Fiora’s lane record and the Zeri–Yuumi scaling threat are meaningful advantages. Ruddy’s clearest route is to engage before Anubis can set up, use Trundle to frustrate Maokai, and snowball through Tristana. Anubis must manage that early pressure and let its carries scale.

Polymarket Market

The Game 4 market lists Ruddy Corporation at 37% and Anubis Gaming at 63%, matching the draft model. No Series market percentages or Series pre-match odds were provided, so a comparison of series movement or Game-versus-Series pricing cannot be made. The market’s Anubis lean fits its stronger model form and the Fiora/Zeri–Yuumi scaling plan, though Ruddy’s Trundle gives them a concrete answer to Maokai.

Prediction

The model gives Ruddy Corporation 37% and Anubis Gaming 63%; that remains the call. Anubis have the better team-form signal, 0.800 to Ruddy’s 0.600, and won Games 1 and 2 before Ruddy took Game 3. That 5-20 kill Game 3 win gives Ruddy some momentum, but the series context does not erase Anubis’s overall edge.
