Skillcamp Crush Colossal Gaming in 24-Minute EM Stomp

TL;DR: Skillcamp opened their EMEA Masters 2026 Summer Main Event series with a ruthless 24:20 win over Colossal Gaming, riding Yeti's K'Sante and EXOFENG's Yunara to a 9k gold lead, an 18-7 kill edge, and a commanding 1-0 series lead.

Key Takeaways

• EXOFENG anchored the entire win on Yunara, finishing 4/1/9 with a 13.0 KDA and a +1400 gold lead at 15 minutes that never stopped growing.
• Yeti turned the top lane into a demolition site, his K'Sante posting +2934 gold@15 and a 4/1/7 line while his opposite number, SkaR, limped out at 1/7/5 and -2934.
• The objective scoreboard told the same story as the kills: Skillcamp claimed 9 towers and a Baron to Colossal's 1 tower and 0 Barons, closing the kill race 18-7.

Building the Lead

The draft model handed Skillcamp only a slight edge at 51%, and for the first few minutes it looked like the game might reward Colossal Gaming's narrow win condition. Jeykup's Lee Sin actually sat at +218 gold at 15 minutes, the one bright spot in an otherwise collapsing map. But that advantage never translated, because the top lane had already become a crime scene.

Yeti imposed himself on K'Sante almost immediately, banking a +2934 gold lead at 15 minutes — a gap that essentially deletes an opponent from the game. SkaR's Ambessa finished the match 1/7/5, repeatedly caught out and unable to ever contest the side lane. That top-lane chasm was the spine of this stomp.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Every lane on Skillcamp's side trended upward. EXOFENG's Yunara paired a 13.0 KDA with a +1400 gold cushion, while Nafkelah's Locke added 5/2/4 and +195 through the mid lane. SteeelBack's Lulu enabled it all with 13 assists and zero deaths until the final minutes.

By the 24:20 mark, the gold stood at 51.3k to 42.6k — a 9k canyon. Colossal Gaming's support Shredder on Rell finished 0/3/2, and Sharon's Syndra managed just 1/3/2, starved of the front-line cover a scaling mid needs. The draft analysis flagged Jhin+Rell at a grisly 37.9% WR, and the bot lane duly delivered on that warning.

The Final Push

Skillcamp never needed a dramatic swing — they simply strangled the map. 3 dragons to 1, 9 towers to 1, and a Baron that broke what little remained of Colossal's base defense. SPOOKY's Vi finished 5/2/7, diving the back line with impunity once the gold lead made every fight a formality.

Colossal's one consolation was xHikama's Jhin at 3/1/1, the only member of that roster to leave with a positive KDA — a lonely stat line in a game that was decided long before the nexus fell.

Polymarket Market

The market had this one priced at 92% for Skillcamp at draft close, against just 8% for Colossal Gaming, and the favourite delivered without drama. What the market underweighted was the top-lane mismatch: the draft context itself flagged Ambessa as Colossal's statistical edge into K'Sante, yet Yeti inverted that entirely with a +2934 gold@15 lead. Once the side lane flipped, Colossal's snowball-or-nothing plan evaporated. This result closes the series — Skillcamp 1-0 Colossal Gaming — with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
