Robocop’s Renekton Breaks Anubis in Ruddy’s Game 3 Upset

TL;DR: Facing elimination with Anubis Gaming ahead 2-0, Ruddy Corporation overturned a 25% pre-game chance by turning Robocop’s Renekton into a top-lane battering ram. His +1598 gold lead at 15 minutes helped fuel a 20-5 win, while J3rkie Rakan anchored the map with a 15.00 KDA and Ruddy swept the dragons 4-0.

Key Takeaways

• Robocop built a +1598 gold lead at 15 minutes on Renekton, giving Ruddy Corporation the top-side engine for its one-sided victory.
• J3rkie finished 1/0/14 on Rakan, a 15.00 KDA that captures how consistently his engages supported Ruddy’s carries.
• Ruddy Corporation won the kill race 20-5 and claimed 4 dragons to 0, converting its early advantage into control of every major objective.

Building the Lead

Anubis Gaming needed just one more win to close the series, but Ruddy Corporation had no room for a quiet start: down 2-0, defeat meant elimination. The market gave Ruddy only 25% at draft close. Instead, it seized the game by attacking through the lane that became its clearest advantage.

On Renekton, Robocop was already +1598 gold at 15 minutes. That lead was no minor lane edge: it gave Ruddy a durable threat that could force Anubis to answer him while the rest of the map opened up. By the end, he had 4/0/6, contributing to half of Ruddy’s 20 kills. The draft model’s 51% preference for Ruddy did materialize in-game: its composition’s tools for skirmishes and aggressive engagement translated into a decisive lead, even though the betting market strongly favored Anubis.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The final scoreline, 20-5, tells of more than successful fights. Ruddy finished with 66.9k gold against Anubis Gaming’s 54.1k, a difference of 12.8k that made the match increasingly difficult to contest. Ruddy also took 9 towers to 3 and controlled dragons 4-0; Anubis secured neither a dragon nor a Baron.

The fight leaders complemented the top-lane advantage. Khazix ended 5/1/9, finding kills and assists while Ruddy built its map control. Xayah went 5/1/5, providing dependable damage from the back line. And Rakan, at 1/0/14, made his presence felt through assists and survival rather than a personal kill tally. The game lasted 30:31 on patch 26.18.

The Final Push

Once the gold and objective gaps widened, Anubis Gaming had no easy way back into the game. Ruddy’s 9 towers showed how its wins on the map became structures, while the 4-0 dragon count kept Anubis from contesting the long-term objective race. The result was a measured close, not a narrow escape: Ruddy took Game 3 and stayed alive in the EMEA Masters 2026 Season Summer Main Event.

Anubis had opened the series with wins in Games 1 and 2, but this defeat changed the tone. Ruddy had finally found a route through its top-side pressure and coordinated engages, and it needed that exact formula again to keep the series going.

Polymarket Market

The game market read this matchup poorly: Anubis Gaming closed at 75%, while Ruddy Corporation stood at 25%, yet Ruddy won by 20-5 and finished ahead by 12.8k gold. The decisive top-side gap and coordinated teamfighting were the difference the market did not anticipate. The live draft model was closer, favoring Ruddy at 51%; that small edge did materialize in the game’s execution.

At series level, Anubis had been priced at 96% to win when the draft closed. After Ruddy’s victory, that figure fell to 87%, while Ruddy rose from 4% to 13%—a 9.4 percentage-point movement toward the comeback. Anubis still leads, but Game 3 showed the next map cannot be treated as a formality.
