Skillcamp 2-0 Pyramid IV Esports — EMEA Masters 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: Skillcamp swept Pyramid IV Esports 2-0 in the EMEA Masters 2026 Summer LCQ, turning a narrow 51% draft-model edge in each game into two wins. A crushing 21-1 opener gave way to a more contested second map, where Skillcamp’s top-lane pressure and teamfighting sealed the series.

Key Takeaways

• SPOOKY was the series’ defining force: his 5/0/8 Qiyana helped Skillcamp win Game 1 21-1, while his early jungle control turned a near-even model read into a rout.
• The series’ most decisive moment came in Game 1, as SPOOKY built a +1881 gold difference at 15 and Skillcamp claimed 3 dragons to 0. Game 2 was closer, but Skillcamp still won the kill race 26-19.
• Skillcamp won the series 2-0: the opener lasted 24:30 and ended 21-1, while the second game took 29:30 and finished 26-19. Pyramid IV improved its resistance, but never forced a third game.

Before the Series

The live draft model gave Skillcamp a slight edge in both games, favoring it at 51% each time. That prediction held twice: Skillcamp won both maps, so the draft edge translated to results across the series and did not fail in either game. But the percentages suggested only a slim advantage, not the gulf that appeared in the opener.

The pre-match Polymarket price also made Skillcamp a strong favorite at 90%, with Pyramid IV Esports at 10%. The stage was set for the favorite to justify that confidence, though the second game would test whether Pyramid IV could turn the series into a fight rather than repeat the first map’s collapse.

Setting the Tone

Game 1 made the series’ underlying imbalance impossible to miss. SPOOKY’s Qiyana controlled the jungle and finished 5/0/8, with a +1881 gold difference at 15. That pressure spread beyond his own lane: Nafkelah’s 4/1/7 Syndra brought control through mid, and SteeelBack’s 0/0/10 Leona gave Skillcamp reliable engage without surrendering a death.

Pyramid IV Esports managed just 1 kill as Skillcamp surged to 21, finished with 55.3k to 38.6k gold, and took every dragon, 3 to 0. EXOFENG’s 7/0/3 Ezreal helped turn the growing lead into a clean finish in 24:30. The 51% draft prediction had held, but Skillcamp’s execution made a marginal pre-game edge look overwhelming.

Sealing It

Pyramid IV entered Game 2 with no margin for error after falling behind 0-1. This time it found more opportunities, and the game’s 26-19 kill score showed a genuine contest rather than another one-sided opener. Yet Skillcamp established a critical top-lane advantage early: Yeti’s Rumble held a +1235 gold lead at 15, while StarScreen’s Ornn faced the corresponding -1235 gold deficit.

That pressure gave Skillcamp a foothold as fights grew more active. SteeelBack’s Lulu finished 3/4/20 with a 5.75 KDA, supporting EXOFENG’s Yunara, who recorded 13 kills. Pyramid IV’s 19 kills and one baron showed that it could strike back, but a 58.1k to 64.0k gold deficit kept the series within Skillcamp’s grasp. After 29:30, Skillcamp took Game 2 and closed the sweep.

Aftermath

The difference between the games tells the story of Skillcamp’s adaptability. The opener was decided by suffocating jungle control; the closer demanded more from the whole lineup, with Yeti’s lane advantage and SteeelBack’s protection helping Skillcamp survive the sharper exchanges. Pyramid IV found more resistance in the second map, but could not undo the early top-side pressure or force a deciding game.

Polymarket Trajectory

The market began with Skillcamp carrying a substantial pre-match advantage, and its confidence was vindicated by the sweep. The 90% pre-series assessment proved directionally right, while the game-level prices also correctly favored Skillcamp before each result. After the opener, the series outlook tightened further around the expected winner rather than signaling a likely reversal.

The market’s broad read aligned with the outcome, but the draft model offered a subtler clue: a repeated 51% edge implied that the teams were not separated by draft alone. Skillcamp’s control of the first map—and its ability to find a different route to victory in the more contested second—made the gap between a narrow model preference and a decisive series result. Pyramid IV’s improved kill total in Game 2 was resistance, not a change in direction.
