Key Takeaways

• Alix was the series MVP: his 15.00 KDA on Yone in Game 1 and 13/0/10 Orianna performance in Game 2 made him a constant threat.
• Septico1 +2906 gold at 15 on Rumble sparked the opening win, while Gamespace’s 4 dragons to 0 turned lane pressure into control.
• Gamespace won 2-0, with kills of 32-16 in 29:00 and 30-8 in 24:20; Only The Family never took a game.

Before the Series

This EMEA Masters 2026 Summer LCQ best-of-three asked whether Only The Family could withstand Gamespace’s projected draft edge—and then find a response if the opening game slipped away. The pre-game models leaned toward Gamespace in both games, at 53% and 54%. Those numbers promised no automatic victory, but the series showed how effectively Gamespace could turn a small expected advantage into control on the Rift.

The decisive thread ran through the team’s carries and the players who opened space for them. Septico1 created the first rupture in top lane; Elix1r initiation helped connect Gamespace’s leads to coordinated fights; and Alix repeatedly supplied the damage that made those openings count.

Setting the Tone

Game 1 established the pattern. Septico1 Rumble reached +2906 gold at 15, giving Gamespace a lead substantial enough to shape more than the lane: Only The Family had less room to contest fights or create safe space for Yunara. Gamespace kept pressing rather than allowing that advantage to fade, and Alix’s Yone finished with a 15.00 KDA as the team won the kill race 32-16.

Elix1r 1/3/21 on Skarner tells the other half of the story. The low kill count was no measure of his influence; his 21 assists reflected how often his initiation set teammates up to finish engagements. Gamespace translated that coordination into 4 dragons to 0 and 12 towers to 2. The first game ended in 29:00, but its meaning reached beyond the clock: Only The Family now needed to win twice against a side that had already controlled the map.

Sealing It

Facing elimination, Only The Family needed a reset. Instead, Game 2 gave Gamespace a sharper route to the same result. Elix1r Jarvan IV and Alix’s Orianna formed the engine: Jarvan IV created the openings, and Orianna punished them. Alix built a +2819 gold difference at 15 and ended 13/0/10, turning mid lane into a threat that Only The Family could not safely ignore.

Elix1r went 3/0/20, a 23.00 KDA that captured both the reliability of his engages and the damage Alix supplied behind them. Gamespace won 30-8, took 9 towers to 0, and built a 17k gold lead before closing in 24:20. There was no third game, and no comeback: the second victory was even cleaner by tower count and finished the sweep.

Aftermath

Across the BO3, Gamespace’s edge was not just that its carries became stronger; it was that the team repeatedly made those advantages usable. Septico1 early top-lane gap set the terms in Game 1, while Elix1r setups and Alix’s finishing power carried that momentum into a decisive Game 2. Only The Family managed 16 kills in the opener and just 8 in the closeout, a shrinking return as Gamespace tightened its control.

The 2-0 result sends a clear message from this EMEA Masters 2026 series: Gamespace could win through broad map control, then reproduce its pressure around a different lane and combination. It never dropped a game, and the sweep was built on connected performances rather than a single isolated carry moment.
