Anubis Gaming Turns the Draft Edge Into a 0-2 Series Lead

TL;DR: With Karmine Corp Blue needing to answer after losing Game 1, Anubis Gaming ignored a 32% market chance and won Game 2 in 23:25. Shy Carry’s Yunara built a huge bot-lane advantage, while B Butcher’s Lulu protected the damage dealers. Three dragons and a 10k gold lead made the result a commanding 2-0 series position.

Key Takeaways

• Shy Carry reached +1862 gold at 15 on Yunara, turning the bot-lane advantage into a major source of Anubis Gaming’s damage.
• B Butcher finished on 2/0/13 with Lulu, giving Anubis a 15.00 KDA and a sturdy protective backbone.
• Anubis Gaming won the kill count 17-6 and claimed 3 dragons to 0, converting its lead into control of the map.

Building the Lead

Karmine Corp Blue entered Game 2 of the EMEA Masters 2026 Main Event with the series already slipping away. They needed a response to Anubis Gaming’s Game 1 win; instead, the market’s strong preference for Karmine Corp Blue proved badly misplaced. Anubis was priced at just 32%, but played with the composure of a team that knew exactly where its draft could win.

The draft model had given Anubis Gaming a 51% edge. That prediction materialized: its scaling and protection gave Yunara room to become the central threat, while Lulu and Orianna reinforced the team’s ability to keep carries safe. Karmine Corp Blue’s route depended on early pressure from Lee Sin and Nautilus, but the numbers tell of a bot lane that never gave them the foothold they needed. At 15 minutes, Shy Carry was already +1862 gold over Looki.

That gap shaped everything that followed. Anubis collected 3 dragons without conceding one, and its lead grew to 10k gold. Camille and Chogath did not need spotless individual scorelines: the team’s coordinated protection and damage made the map increasingly difficult for Karmine to contest.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The final 17-6 kill count reflects more than a handful of lost skirmishes. Anubis took 7 towers to Karmine’s 1, finished with 49.8k gold against 39.6k, and denied either side a Baron. In just 23:25, the difference in map control had become decisive.

Shy Carry’s 6/0/8 line on Yunara paired a deathless performance with 34.5% of Anubis’s damage. Giyuu also went untouched, ending Orianna’s game at 4/0/8; that threat complemented the marksman rather than leaving the damage burden on one champion. B Butcher’s Lulu added 2/0/13, a 15.00 KDA that captures how reliably the support enabled the fight-winning carries.

The Final Push

Karmine Corp Blue did find six kills, including four for Yukino’s Lee Sin, but it could not turn those moments into sustained control. Viktor dealt 34.6% of his team’s damage, yet Kamiloo’s 0/3/2 record shows how difficult it was to keep that output relevant as Anubis tightened its grip.

The result put Anubis Gaming 2-0 ahead in the best-of-five and left Karmine Corp Blue facing elimination in the next game. This was not simply a favorable composition paying off; the gold, towers, and dragons show Anubis repeatedly converting its advantage into something Karmine could not recover from.

Polymarket Market

The market read this game incorrectly: at draft close, it gave Karmine Corp Blue 68% and Anubis Gaming 32%, yet Anubis won by 11 kills and ended with a 10k gold lead. The contrast with the draft model’s 51% Anubis lean is telling. The model recognized a small edge in scaling and team synergy; the game showed how forcefully Anubis could realize it through bot-lane gold and objective control. The series market shifted from 66% Karmine Corp Blue at draft close to 74% Anubis Gaming afterward, a 39.0 percentage-point swing toward Anubis. With the series at 0-2, that movement reflects the mounting pressure on Karmine ahead of the next game.
