Before the Series

Skillcamp entered as the clear favorite, carrying an 82% pre-match market expectation and a composition identity built around forceful engage. SPOOKY, SteeelBack, and EXOFENG had the tools to start fights on demand, while LODIS (Polish Team) appeared to need precision, patience, and the right terrain to resist.

Instead, LODIS immediately made the series uncomfortable. Their strength was not simply surviving pressure; it was making Skillcamp pay when an engage became predictable. That distinction shaped the entire BO3. Skillcamp could create action, but LODIS repeatedly chose where the decisive action ended.

Trading Blows

Game 1 set the pattern. Skillcamp held early lane advantages, including EXOFENG’s +117 GoldDiff@15 on Kaisa and Nafkelah’s +109 on Ryze, yet those leads never became a controlled snowball. Sinmivak’s Renekton remained a reliable flank threat at 2/0/4, while Kaseko’s Lulu enabled the anti-dive fights that let LODIS turn chaos into control.

The result was a 40:20 opener in which LODIS won 22-13 in kills and finished 63.6k to 54.9k in gold. zamulek’s Ezreal overcame an early -117 GoldDiff@15 to post 8/2/8, a warning that LODIS’s carries did not need a perfect lane to take over later.

Skillcamp’s response in Game 2 was real and emphatic. With elimination pressure rising, SteeelBack’s Rakan delivered 1/0/21 and a 22.00 KDA, turning every opening into an invitation for Skillcamp’s engage composition. Nafkelah added 8/5/8 on Syndra, while EXOFENG’s Xayah held +205 GoldDiff@15.

That 57:30 win was not clean, but it was resilient. Skillcamp claimed 2 barons to 0, won kills 23-11, and used a 69.6k to 64.8k gold edge to level the series. For a moment, the favorite had rediscovered the route the market expected.

The Decider

Game 3 was where LODIS (Polish Team) proved Game 1 had not been an accident. Skillcamp entered with momentum, but LODIS dismantled the comfort of Skillcamp’s scaling plan before it could matter. Qiyana created pick pressure, Bard opened roam windows, and Caitlyn turned bot lane into the map’s defining fault line.

zamulek’s +1390 GoldDiff@15 was not just a lane statistic. It denied Skillcamp the breathing room needed to set up around neutral objectives. Even Yeti’s Ambessa advantage of +324 could not compensate for the damage imbalance elsewhere.

Around dragons, LODIS became untouchable. Czekolad’s Ziggs punished every approach, ending 8/0/6 as LODIS secured dragons 5-0, seven towers, and the 21-15 kill finish in 37:00. Skillcamp had shown it could win a long brawl; LODIS showed it could prevent one from ever forming.

Aftermath

LODIS (Polish Team) won the series 2-1 because its best players delivered across different conditions. Czekolad supplied terrain control in Game 1 and siege damage in Game 3. zamulek carried through an early deficit on Ezreal, then created the decider’s largest lane lead on Caitlyn. Kaseko’s Lulu gave the team the defensive discipline to survive Skillcamp’s first punch.

For Skillcamp, the Game 2 recovery showed genuine quality. But their engage-heavy approach required clean follow-through, and LODIS repeatedly disrupted that timing. In EM, that ability to absorb pressure and still claim the decisive objectives can rewrite any expectation.

Polymarket Trajectory

Polymarket began with Skillcamp at 82%, a verdict LODIS (Polish Team) challenged from the opening draft. The market reacted appropriately after Game 1 by moving LODIS ahead in the series, then swung back toward Skillcamp after the favorite’s long Game 2 response. That sequence captured Skillcamp’s ability to force extended, chaotic games, but it underestimated LODIS’s capacity to reset after losing one.

The crucial error was treating Game 2 momentum as proof that the series had returned to its original hierarchy. Game 3 closed with Skillcamp at 70%, even though LODIS’s draft had supplied clearer pick, roam, and siege tools. Earlier signals were visible in the roster’s adaptability: Czekolad had already shown he could dictate fight spaces, while zamulek had demonstrated that an early lane deficit did not remove his carry threat.
