The Secret Club’s Double-Baron Siege Breaks Forsaken in Game 3

TL;DR: With the EMEA Masters series tied, The Secret Club ignored a 28% market forecast and turned its route through two Barons into a decisive Game 3 win over Forsaken (Polish Team). The 20-9 kill edge and 66.0k-55.8k gold finish show how execution erased Forsaken’s modeled draft advantage and closed the series.

Key Takeaways

• The Secret Club finished with a 20-9 kill lead, turning fights into control of the map and a Game 3 victory.
• Yuki carried Jinx to an 8/2/6 line, giving his team a reliable damage threat as the lead grew.
• Nasser completed the game on Lee Sin with 5/0/8, staying deathless while helping secure 2 Barons.

Building the Lead

This was the decider after Forsaken (Polish Team) and The Secret Club split the first two games, leaving the series level at 1-1. The stakes were simple: take the lead and move within one win of the title. The market gave The Secret Club just 28% at draft close, but the underdog’s plan proved far more than theoretical.

The live draft model had favored Forsaken at 52%, pointing to a more dependable overall champion profile and stronger duo synergy. Its proposed route—using Galio and Rakan to control fights while LeBlanc searched for picks—never became the game’s defining story. The Secret Club instead accelerated through Lee Sin and Rumble, opening room for Akali to threaten Xayah before Jinx took over as the main damage source.

The final totals make that shift plain: The Secret Club had 66.0k gold to Forsaken’s 55.8k, and led 9-4 in towers. No duration or patch data was provided, so the decisive scale is the one the match stats support: nearly 10k gold, a much wider kill count, and two Barons to none.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The cleanest individual performance belonged to Nasser. His 5/0/8 on Lee Sin meant Forsaken never claimed the shutdown that might have slowed the snowball. Yuki converted that space into an 8/2/6 finish on Jinx, while Danilo added a 4/2/6 Rumble line to make The Secret Club’s pressure work across multiple lanes.

Forsaken still had moments of resistance. MAXI ended on Zaahen at 4/4/2, and Decay posted 3/5/3 on LeBlanc, but their team’s two dragons could not match The Secret Club’s three. The second Baron was the clearest sign that Forsaken’s draft edge had not materialized in-game: the model’s 52% lean did not translate into objective control or a winning fight pattern.

The Final Push

With two Barons secured against none, The Secret Club had the tools to turn its advantage into structures rather than gamble on another fight. Its 9 towers to Forsaken’s 4 reflect that controlled close: the underdog converted pressure into a finish, while Forsaken’s five-player composition could not force the coordinated engagements it needed.

Polymarket Market

The game market put The Secret Club at 28% and Forsaken at 72% at draft close, so it identified the eventual winner incorrectly. The upset was not merely a lucky finish: The Secret Club’s Lee Sin remained deathless, its Jinx reached 8/2/6, and the team claimed 2 Barons while limiting Forsaken to 0. Those execution details overwhelmed the draft model’s 52% preference for Forsaken and explain why the market read the matchup too confidently. This result closes the series, Forsaken (Polish Team) 1-2 The Secret Club; the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
