Galions Crush Berlin International Gaming in EMEA Masters Opener

TL;DR: Galions extended their winning run to 4 by overwhelming Berlin International Gaming 25-1 in just 22:00. HARPOON’s spotless 11/0/5 Yunara performance and Zoelys’s 18.00 KDA on Lulu turned an early bot-lane advantage into a crushing 21.6k gold gap—and a commanding start to the series.

Key Takeaways

• Galions finished with 25 kills to Berlin International Gaming’s 1, turning a one-sided opening into a statement win.
• HARPOON reached +4206 GoldDiff@15 on Yunara and ended 11/0/5, making bot lane the engine of Galions’ snowball.
• Zoelys recorded an 18.00 KDA on Lulu, supplying the protection and setup that helped Galions keep control of every fight.

Building the Lead

The opening game of the EMEA Masters 2026 Season Summer Main Event quickly became an announcement: Galions were not merely continuing their winning run; they were dictating the terms of the series. The draft model’s stated 50% lean toward Berlin International Gaming did not translate into an in-game edge. Galions’ execution overwhelmed the prediction, and their bot lane became the clearest fault line.

HARPOON’s Yunara finished with 11/0/5 and a +4206 gold difference at 15 minutes. That lead was more than a personal advantage: it gave Galions a carry who could decide fights while Berlin International Gaming struggled to find a safe opening. Zoelys’s Lulu complemented that threat with 0/0/18, keeping the damage dealer alive and contributing to every Galions kill.

The rest of the map reinforced the collapse. Thayger’s Qiyana posted 8/0/4, while OMON’s Locke added 6/0/5. Even with Carlsen’s Ornn finishing 0/1/5, Galions had enough damage and support to keep pressing without giving Berlin International Gaming a way back.

The Numbers Tell the Story

A 25-1 kill count and 54.5k to 32.9k gold tell the story of a game that never developed into a contest. Galions ended with 9 towers, 2 dragons, and 1 Baron; Berlin International Gaming secured none of those objectives. By the finish at 22:00, Galions had built a 21.6k gold lead, converting their early advantage into control across the map.

Berlin International Gaming’s sole kill came through Irrelevant’s Rumble, who ended 1/4/0. The rest of the lineup could not turn its picks into the catches the draft needed. Patrik’s Ashe finished 0/7/0, and Kaiser’s Seraphine 0/4/0. The model had outlined a route through picks and initiation, but Galions’ pressure left little room to execute it.

The Final Push

Galions closed the game by turning their lead into objectives rather than allowing Berlin International Gaming time to regroup. The Baron, towers, and dragons added up to a clean map takeover, while Lulu’s reliable protection made it difficult to punish the exposed carry. This was not a narrow finish: Galions’ 25-1 scoreline and 21.6k gold advantage show how decisively they controlled the final stretch.

The win pushes Galions to 1-0 in the best-of-five and extends the team’s winning run to 4. For Berlin International Gaming, the challenge in Game 2 is to interrupt that bot-lane momentum before Yunara can again dictate the pace.

Polymarket Market

The pre-game market read the winner correctly: Berlin International Gaming stood at 34%, while Galions were priced at 66%, and the favorite delivered. That broad expectation matched the result, but it could not convey just how thoroughly Galions’ execution would overwhelm the game. The draft prediction’s 50% lean toward Berlin International Gaming proved misplaced in practice: HARPOON’s early gold advantage, Qiyana’s kills, and Lulu’s protection dismantled the route to picks the model had identified. After the opener, the series market shifted from 76% Galions at draft close to 94% now, with Berlin International Gaming moving from 24% to 6%. The series remains alive, but the market now sees Galions as firmly in control.
