Shredder's Lulu Anchors Colossal Gaming Game 1 Blowout

TL;DR: Colossal Gaming dismantled LODIS (Polish Team) in Game 1 at EMEA Masters 2026, winning in 30:20 behind Shredder's 1/1/15 Lulu and a +2384 gold lead for xHikama's Yunara. The bot-lane diff and a 2-0 Baron count buried the draft model's slim LODIS edge.

Key Takeaways

- Shredder's 1/1/15 Lulu posted a 16.00 KDA and anchored every fight, turning the support pick into the game's quiet engine. - xHikama's Yunara banked +2384 gold at minute 15 and cashed it into a 12/2/4 scoreline — the largest individual lead of the match. - Colossal Gaming took 2 barons to 0 on the way to a 12.2k gold cushion, the structural edge that ended the game in just 30:20.

Building the Lead

From the opening minutes, one lane told the whole story. Shredder's Lulu played the role of a second jungler, shadowing xHikama's Yunara and converting every skirmish into space. By minute 15 the bot lane had swung +2384 gold, and the marksman never let that cushion breathe — 12 kills against just 2 deaths across the match.

Elsewhere the map tilted quietly. Jeykup's Nocturne farmed behind a -1098 gold deficit at the 15-minute mark but turned that into 13 assists, chaining ultimate pressure onto Rumble's Equalizer for a devastating engage combo. SkaR finished the game 0/1/7 on the yordle top laner, sacrificing farm for setup while Sharon's Locke went a flawless 5/0/0 in the mid lane.

LODIS found individual edges early — mikusik's Lee Sin sat +1098 gold and Czekolad's Cassiopeia was +323 — but those pockets never connected into a team-wide advantage.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The kill score finished 18-6 in Colossal Gaming's favor, and the gold graph read 63.0k to 50.8k. That is a 12.2k swing, and it shows up everywhere: 8 towers to 3, and a Baron count of 2 to 0.

The raw lane numbers explain how. zamulek's Ezreal was the mirror image of his counterpart, sitting -2384 gold at minute 15 and closing at 3/7/0 — a 0.43 KDA on a champion drafted to control the lane. Kaseko's Bard managed only a 1.00 KDA, and Sinmivak's Gnar finished without a single kill or death. Even the dragons split 2-2, meaning Colossal never needed objective luck — they simply out-fought every contested fight.

The Final Push

With two barons banked, Colossal Gaming stopped trading and started closing. Empowered minions crashed into base structures while Lulu's shields kept her carries untouchable, and the 18-6 kill spread left LODIS unable to contest a single wave. The game ended at 30:20, a full Baron buff still ticking.

Polymarket Market

The market closed the draft near a coin flip — Colossal Gaming 52% against LODIS 48% — while the live draft model leaned the other way at 51% for the Polish side. Neither read matched the reality of a 12.2k gold blowout. The model's numbers were real: LODIS carried a 62.0% Elo share, 57.9% season win rate and a supposed Ezreal-into-Yunara lane edge. What no pre-game figure captured was Shredder's roaming Lulu, a support turning the bot lane into a two-man unit that erased that matchup entirely. The market priced a close game and got a stomp. This result closes the series at Colossal Gaming 1-0 LODIS (Polish Team); the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.

FAQ

Q: Did the draft model's 51% edge for LODIS actually show up in Game 1? A: No. mikusik's Lee Sin held a +1098 gold lead at minute 15, but Colossal Gaming's 2-0 Baron count and 12.2k gold swing erased every early pocket of value.
