Doggo's Samira Tears Open LCP Game 4 for CTBC Flying Oyster

TL;DR: With the LCP 2026 series on the line, Doggo turned Samira into the decisive bot-lane weapon, posting 19/1/3 and 79% KP as CTBC Flying Oyster crushed Ground Zero Gaming in 23:20. The win mattered because it converted a tense 2-1 lead into a commanding 3-1 series close.

Key Takeaways

• Doggo built a +2350 gold advantage at 15 minutes on Samira, turning the bot-side mismatch into the engine of CTBC Flying Oyster’s closeout.
• Rest delivered 7/0/10 on Renekton, ensuring Ground Zero Gaming could not find a top-side answer to the accelerating snowball.
• CTBC Flying Oyster finished the kill score 28-5 and the gold count 53.1k to 36.0k, a 17k gulf that made Game 4 a one-sided finish.

Building the Lead

CTBC Flying Oyster entered Game 4 needing one more win after Ground Zero Gaming had taken Game 1, while the previous two games had swung the LCP series toward the Oyster. The decisive lane was bottom: Doggo’s Samira repeatedly found the openings that Betty’s Ashe could not survive, and the +2350 gold difference at 15 minutes made the matchup impossible to stabilize.

That early pressure spread across the map. Shad0w supplied 1/1/19 on Sejuani, converting engages into assists and giving the carries room to collect resets. Ground Zero Gaming had drafted for scaling, but its proposed draft edge never materialized in play; the 53% live model lean could not survive CTBC Flying Oyster’s early tempo.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The statistics explain why this was a stomp rather than merely a quick victory. CTBC Flying Oyster claimed 7 towers to 0, 2 dragons to 1, and 1 barons to 0, removing both Ground Zero Gaming’s map access and its time to scale. Their 53.1k to 36.0k gold advantage showed how every successful fight became another permanent resource lead.

In the solo lanes, Rest’s Renekton stayed flawless at 7/0/10, while POUT’s Sylas finished 1/0/13 despite a -207 GoldDiff@15. That contrast mattered: even without a mid-lane economic lead, CTBC Flying Oyster had enough winning lanes and reliable engage to keep the game moving forward.

The Final Push

Ground Zero Gaming’s last defensive shape collapsed once Kino’s Rell piled up 0/3/21, consistently setting the table for the fed carry. Kaiwing’s Seraphine fell to 0/8/4, leaving too little peel for a composition that needed time and spacing.

The final objective sequence reflected the whole game: CTBC Flying Oyster used their Baron, tower control, and overwhelming gold to end before Ground Zero Gaming could turn scaling into relevance. In just 23:20, the LCP 2026 match became the clearest possible statement that execution, not the theoretical draft advantage, decided Game 4.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket priced CTBC Flying Oyster at 55% against Ground Zero Gaming’s 46% at draft close, essentially treating this game as a coin flip despite the Oyster’s slight edge. That read identified the eventual winner but missed the scale of the rout. The draft model’s 53% preference for Ground Zero Gaming suggested its scaling structure should prevail, yet CTBC Flying Oyster’s Renekton-Sejuani pressure and Samira resets denied the game its slower phases. The pre-series market had already favored CTBC Flying Oyster 62% to 38%, and Game 4 validated that broader confidence through execution. This result closes the series 3-1, with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
