Anubis Gaming 2-0 TLN Pirates — EMEA Masters 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: Anubis Gaming swept TLN Pirates 2-0 in the EMEA Masters 2026 Season Summer Main Event, turning two games in which the draft model favored TLN into victories. A 30-4 opener established the mismatch; a 23-6 finish sealed the series and exposed how little the pre-match favorite’s forecast meant once play began.

Key Takeaways

• B Butcher was the series’ standout, keeping Lulu deathless at 2/0/24 in Game 1 and giving Anubis Gaming a steady backbone amid the chaos.
• The most decisive blow came in Game 1: Anubis Gaming beat TLN Pirates 30-4 and finished 15.2k gold ahead, turning early skirmishes into a commanding lead.
• Anubis Gaming won the series 2-0, with a 23-6 Game 2 following the opener. Both draft-model calls favored TLN Pirates—50% in Game 1 and 52% in Game 2—and both failed to predict the winner.

Before the Series

The pre-match picture leaned heavily toward TLN Pirates: Polymarket gave them 70% to win the series, against 30% for Anubis Gaming. The live draft model also offered TLN a slight edge in Game 1. Those signals made the opening a test of whether TLN could turn a favored setup into control—or whether Anubis could make its own terms through pressure and skirmishes.

Setting the Tone

Anubis answered immediately. At draft close, the market still favored TLN Pirates 64% to 36%, but the game never followed that script: Anubis won 30-4 in 41:40. Its coordinated engage repeatedly disrupted TLN’s route to scaling, turning fights into a gold lead that reached 15.2k.

B Butcher’s Lulu provided the stability that let the rest of the lineup press forward. The support finished 2/0/24, surviving every fight while helping convert Anubis’s openings into takedowns. Shy Carry supplied the finishing force on Zeri, ending 10/1/14. The result overturned both the market’s game prediction and the model’s 50% lean toward TLN: the draft edge did not translate into a win.

That opening also changed the series’ emotional balance. TLN entered expected to win, but Anubis had already shown it could turn a forecast against it into a decisive advantage.

Sealing It

The market moved toward Anubis after Game 1, yet still favored TLN at Game 2 draft close, 64% to 36%. The draft model again leaned TLN, this time at 52%—and again, the prediction failed. Anubis won 23-6 in 27:30, closing the series without giving TLN a game.

The second win mattered as more than a repeat of the opener: it showed that Anubis’s dominance was not confined to one drawn-out brawl. After a 41:40 first game, the team finished the job in 27:30, keeping the pressure on and denying TLN the reset needed to make the series competitive. No comeback followed the opener; Anubis carried its momentum straight into the sweep.

Aftermath

For Anubis Gaming, the 2-0 result was a statement about execution under pressure, not just a pair of favorable fights. The team overcame a pre-series market that placed it at 30%, then won both games despite TLN receiving the draft model’s edge each time. TLN Pirates had the predicted advantage on paper, but Anubis made the games’ actual terms decisive.

Polymarket Trajectory

The market began with a clear preference for TLN Pirates, a call that the opening’s 30-4 result decisively challenged. After Game 1, sentiment swung toward Anubis Gaming, recognizing that the first win had changed the series’ balance. But the market’s Game 2 draft-close price returned to a TLN advantage, and the result again went the other way. That pattern suggests the market updated on the outcome but continued to trust TLN’s perceived draft position more than Anubis’s demonstrated ability to execute. The live model told a similar story, favoring TLN in both drafts; its signal failed twice. Anubis’s coordinated pressure and B Butcher’s deathless Lulu offered a more useful clue than either forecast: the team was converting fights into repeatable control.
