Early Game

Kaufland Hangry Knights entered Game 3 with no room left to give: one more loss meant elimination, while Galions were a win away from closing out the EMEA Masters 2026 series. The live draft model gave Galions a narrow 52% edge. That prediction materialized in the result, though not as a simple lane-by-lane advantage: Galions won through their overall finish despite a major setback in top lane.

Carlsen’s Camille was 2,879 gold behind at 15 minutes, while Boda’s Jayce held the corresponding lead. The numbers point to a clear advantage for Kaufland Hangry Knights’ top laner, but it did not decide the match on its own. Across the map, Galions had a +1,274 gold lead for HARPOON’s Ashe and a +1,019 edge for Thayger’s Jax at the same mark.

The Turning Point

Boda’s Jayce ended with 8/3/4, the game’s standout kill line, and Kaufland Hangry Knights claimed 3 dragons to Galions’ 1. Yet those advantages did not translate into a winning finish. Galions took 7 towers against 5 and secured the only Baron, turning their map control and objective advantage into the difference.

Zoelys’s Seraphine helped steady the fight around that uneven game state. The support recorded 1/0/10, never giving up a kill, while OMON’s Ryze contributed 5/5/5. Kaufland Hangry Knights matched Galions at 14 kills, but the equal count concealed the more consequential gap: Galions finished with 51.4k gold to 48.1k.

Closing Out

At 24:40, Galions had converted the Baron and tower edge into a game win without needing to dominate the kill race. The draft model’s small preference for Galions proved directionally right: Camille’s side-lane threat, Ashe’s initiation and Seraphine’s team-fight utility offered multiple ways to close, even as Camille’s early deficit made the path less comfortable.

The market was more confident than the draft model, pricing Galions at 85% at draft close. That favorite delivered, completing the sweep and stretching the team’s winning run to 6. In the match itself, however, the final margin came from Galions’ objectives and gold conversion rather than an overwhelming kill advantage.

Polymarket Market

At draft close, the game market favored Galions at 85%, substantially above the live draft model’s 52% estimate. The market read the winner correctly: Galions prevailed, and its status as the favorite held. The match also showed why a high pre-game probability is not the same as a clean performance. Boda’s Jayce finished 8/3/4, Kaufland Hangry Knights took 3 dragons, and Carlsen’s Camille was 2,879 gold down at 15 minutes. Galions’ answer was to secure the only Baron, take 7 towers, and finish ahead by 3.3k gold. This result closes the series at Galions 3-0 Kaufland Hangry Knights; the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
