Czekolad’s Ziggs Delivers LODIS a Game 3 Upset

TL;DR: With the series tied 1-1, LODIS (Polish Team) overturned a 30% pre-game market chance to eliminate Skillcamp in EM Game 3. A bot-lane gold gap, Czekolad’s flawless Ziggs, and a commanding 5-0 dragon advantage turned draft promise into a decisive League of Legends upset.

Key Takeaways

• zamulek built a +1390 GoldDiff@15 on Caitlyn, giving LODIS (Polish Team) the early bot-lane control that Skillcamp could not reclaim.
• Czekolad finished 8/0/6 with a 14.00 KDA on Ziggs, supplying untouchable mid-lane damage and siege pressure.
• LODIS (Polish Team) claimed dragons 5-0, then converted their objective control into a 21-15 kill finish and seven towers.

Early Game

Skillcamp entered the deciding map with momentum from its Game 2 win, but the opening lanes immediately challenged the market’s 70% confidence in the favorite. LODIS (Polish Team) had received a 51% draft edge from the model, and that advantage materialized: Qiyana offered pick threat, while Bard created roam windows around the slower Azir-Yunara scaling core.

In bot lane, zamulek turned Caitlyn’s range into a tangible +1390 gold lead at 15 minutes and contributed 43% kill participation. That pressure meant Skillcamp’s carries were already playing from behind when neutral objectives became contested. Yeti’s Ambessa held a +324 edge against Sion, but the side-lane opening never grew large enough to offset the damage elsewhere.

The Turning Point

The game broke when LODIS (Polish Team) repeatedly won the space around dragons. Czekolad’s Ziggs posted an immaculate 8/0/6 line, punishing every attempt to walk through choke points and making a clean engage increasingly difficult for Skillcamp.

SPOOKY fought hard on Chogath, producing 8/5/1, but his team could not turn those kills into objective control. LODIS (Polish Team) took all 5 dragons while conceding 0, denying the setup that Rell and Azir needed for a clustered teamfight. The predicted pick-and-roam tools had done their work before Skillcamp’s scaling could matter.

Closing Out

At 37:00, the numbers reflected a controlled finish rather than a narrow escape. LODIS (Polish Team) stood on 68.0k gold to Skillcamp’s 59.8k, with seven towers to three and one baron to none. mikusik’s Qiyana added 10/6/7, finding the skirmish damage needed to keep the opposition from resetting the map.

Skillcamp still found fights, but Nafkelah’s Azir was forced into a 2/7/5 finish under constant siege pressure. With structures falling and no dragon route back into the game, LODIS (Polish Team) closed the kill race 21-15 and secured the series.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket favored Skillcamp at 70% when draft closed, leaving LODIS (Polish Team) at only 30% despite the model’s 51% lean toward the Polish side. The market correctly recognized Skillcamp’s Game 2 resurgence, but it underestimated how sharply the bot-lane matchup could tilt the map. Caitlyn’s early gold advantage, Ziggs’ safe wave control, and the 5-0 dragon sweep exposed the execution gap that the price did not anticipate. The draft advantage was not merely theoretical; LODIS (Polish Team) converted it through disciplined objective play. This result closes the series 1-2, and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
