Galions Extend Their Run as Wukong Overwhelms Berlin International Gaming

TL;DR: Galions extended their winning run to 5 by turning Thayger’s explosive Wukong game into a one-sided 29-11 victory over Berlin International Gaming. His 15/1/10 line powered a 15k gold snowball, while Galions swept the dragons 4-0 to take firm control of the series.

Key Takeaways

• Thayger put Galions on the front foot with Wukong’s +1057 GoldDiff@15, then finished with 15/1/10 as the game’s defining carry.
• Galions converted their advantage into a 59.1k to 44.2k gold finish, a 14.9k gap that made Berlin International Gaming’s comeback increasingly remote.
• HARPOON ended on Jhin with 1/0/16, contributing to a 29-11 kill score without giving Berlin a shutdown.

Building the Lead

With Galions already ahead in the best-of-five, Game 2 offered Berlin International Gaming a chance to halt the momentum before the series slipped further away. Instead, Galions made it 2-0 and stretched their winning run to 5, with a relentless jungle performance setting the pace.

The pre-game draft model favored Berlin International Gaming at 51%. That edge did not materialize on the Rift: Berlin’s Lee Sin never turned his early-game threat into control, while Galions’ Camille and Wukong found the coordinated engage their composition needed. The result is a clear case of execution overriding the model’s narrow draft lean.

The early numbers point to how sharply the match tilted. Thayger held a +1057 gold difference at 15 minutes, while Berlin’s Lee Sin was -1057. That opposing swing gave Galions’ jungle a head start on the fights that followed. Camille’s 7/3/7 added another threat across the map, even as her own -950 GoldDiff@15 shows that Galions’ advantage was not simply a collection of winning lanes.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Galions finished with 29 kills to Berlin’s 11 and claimed 8 towers to 2. That was not just a lead on the scoreboard: the turret difference signaled how consistently Galions could turn victories into territory. The dragon count, 4-0, tells an even cleaner story of objective control, and Galions also secured the game’s only Baron.

At 26:10, the game ended with Galions holding 59.1k gold against Berlin’s 44.2k. Their roughly 15k lead left little room for Berlin to find a late fight that could change the result. While Cassiopeia reached 4/6/4 and Sion posted 3/4/3, those contributions could not keep pace with Galions’ repeated, coordinated pressure.

The Final Push

Galions’ support and bot lane helped make the final advance difficult to answer. Karma recorded 3/3/19, while Jhin remained deathless at 1/0/16; together, those lines reflect how much of Galions’ fighting strength came from enabling and finishing engagements rather than relying on a single damage dealer. Thayger’s Wukong supplied the decisive force, ending at 15/1/10.

This was a fast, emphatic close rather than a narrow escape. The 29-11 finish, four dragons and sole Baron all reinforced the same conclusion: Galions dictated where the game was played and when it ended. For Berlin International Gaming, the loss leaves the next game as a must-win to keep the series alive.

Polymarket Market

The game market had Galions at 74% at draft close, so its favorite delivered the expected result. In that broad sense, the market read the winner correctly; what it did not convey was the scale of Galions’ control. A 15k gold snowball, a 4-0 dragon count and Thayger’s 15/1/10 Wukong turned a favored win into a decisive one-sided game. That execution also contrasted with the live draft model’s 51% lean toward Berlin International Gaming, which did not translate into an in-game advantage. At series level, Galions moved from 92% to 97%, a 5.8 percentage-point increase, leaving Berlin at 3%. The market now implies that Galions are overwhelmingly likely to close out the series next game.
