Building the Lead

With LYON (2024 American Team) leading the BO3 after Game 1, Disguised needed an equalizer; instead, the favorites seized a series-clinching opening. The pre-draft spotlight fell on Varus and Pantheon, and both reached Disguised, but neither delivered the value forecast. Srtty’s top-lane Varus managed 1/5/1, while KryRa’s Pantheon found three kills but died 10 times as LYON repeatedly turned aggression back on him.

The decisive mismatch came below them. Berserker protected a perfect deathless game while his 60% kill participation helped break the lane wide open, leaving Disguised without the safe scaling window their Xayah-Rakan pairing required. Inspired’s Skarner added 5/0/8, making every attempt to recover feel like another invitation for LYON to engage.

The Numbers Tell the Story

This was not merely a win; it was a complete snowball. LYON (2024 American Team) finished with a 17.4k gold advantage, 11 towers to 0, and 1 barons to 0, denying Disguised any map foothold despite neither side taking a dragon. Saint punished every opening on Sylas, converting his 13/1/9 performance into the central force behind the 30-6 kill score.

The live draft model had favored Disguised at 51%, citing stronger lane conditions around Xayah, Rakan, and Varus. That edge never materialized in-game. sajed’s Xayah ended 0/6/3 and -3648 at 15 minutes, proof that LYON’s execution overwhelmed the theoretical draft advantages before three-item scaling could arrive.

The Final Push

Once the lead was established, LYON (2024 American Team) played with ruthless clarity. Isles’s Milio supplied 0/3/21, keeping the carries protected through the final fights, while Dhokla’s Renekton contributed 3/2/9 to close every remaining path back.

Disguised could only take 6 kills and no structures before the nexus fell. The result matched LYON’s table-leading profile: an early lead converted into an air-tight finish, and a sixth straight win that reinforced their authority in LCS 2026.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket priced LYON (2024 American Team) at 90% when the draft closed, against 10% for Disguised, and Game 2 validated that confidence emphatically. The market correctly recognized the broader structural gap, even though the live draft model’s 51% lean toward Disguised suggested that Varus and Pantheon could create a playable counterweight. What the draft projection missed was the practical bot-lane pressure from Lucian and the reliability of LYON’s engage chain, which erased Disguised’s scaling plan before it could function. This result closes the series 0-2, and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
