Ano’s Naafiri Runs Riot as Ruddy Crush Bushido in EM Opener

TL;DR: Ano’s Naafiri anchored Ruddy Corporation’s one-sided win over Bushido Wildcats, finishing 9/0/7 with 80% KP as Ruddy claimed 4 dragons and 2 barons. Robocop’s Sion trailed by -1454 gold at 15, but Ruddy’s objective control and a 20-4 kill finish mattered far more than the pre-game draft edge awarded to Bushido.

Key Takeaways

• Ano went 9/0/7 on Naafiri, a 16.0 KDA that made Ruddy Corporation’s jungle pressure the engine of the win.
• Ruddy Corporation finished with 20 kills to Bushido Wildcats’ 4, turning its early pressure into a commanding 13.4k gold advantage.
• Robocop’s Sion was -1454 gold at 15 despite Ruddy’s eventual control, underlining that the game was won through team execution rather than a top-lane lead.

Building the Lead

Bushido Wildcats entered the game with the model’s 51% draft favor, but that predicted edge never materialized on the Rift. The pre-match read saw promise in Bushido’s lanes and Rumble-Rakan engage; Ruddy’s route to victory was to convert Kalista’s aggression into early objective control. Ruddy did exactly that, turning pressure into a win rather than letting Bushido set the pace.

Ano’s Naafiri made the difference in the central story. The jungler combined 9 kills with 7 assists and no deaths, ending on 80% kill participation. That clean 16.0 KDA meant Ruddy could keep finding picks and threats without giving Bushido an opening to swing the game back.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The final 20-4 kill count captures how far Ruddy pulled away, while the gold total—63.9k to 50.5k—shows the advantage was not just a string of isolated fights. Ruddy secured 4 dragons to 0, 2 barons to 0, and 11 towers to 2, controlling the map’s major rewards as the lead grew.

The top-lane numbers add an important wrinkle. Robocop finished 1/1/4 on Sion and was -1454 gold at 15, while Aytekn’s Rumble held a +1454 lead at that point. Yet that lane advantage did not become a Bushido comeback: Ruddy’s coordinated pressure elsewhere overwhelmed it. Afriibi’s Kalista added a steady 5/1/7, helping turn the objective control into a reliable carry threat.

The Final Push

After 29:40, Ruddy closed out a game that had become increasingly difficult for Bushido to contest. The two barons and four dragons were more than a tally; they gave Ruddy repeated control over the map and the tools to finish with 11 towers. Bushido managed only 4 kills and no neutral objectives, leaving no foothold for a late reversal.

Polymarket Market

At draft close, the market gave Ruddy Corporation 56% against Bushido Wildcats’ 44%, making Ruddy the expected winner. That read proved correct, although the result was more decisive than the close probabilities alone suggest. The market pointed toward Ruddy’s edge; the game revealed its scale through Ano’s 9/0/7 Naafiri and complete objective control. Bushido’s model-backed 51% draft favor did not translate into an in-game advantage, as Ruddy secured 4 dragons and 2 barons. This result closes the series at Bushido Wildcats 0-1 Ruddy Corporation; the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
