Early Game
Shopify Rebellion faced elimination down 0-2 in the best-of-five. Pre-draft analysis flagged Vi and Ezreal, both of which landed in the draft. Ezreal delivered for Shopify Rebellion while Vi posted only a 2/4/3 line for Sentinels. The 52% draft edge for Shopify Rebellion showed immediately as Contractz on Naafiri and Zinie on Annie generated early skirmish wins that the market had discounted.
The Turning Point
Objective fights shifted momentum. Shopify Rebellion secured dragons at a 4-1 clip, letting Bvoy scale safely on Ezreal while denying Sentinels clean engages. Lanes such as huhi's Nautilus held a +697 gold differential at 15 minutes, yet team execution and dragon priority let the underdog pull ahead before Sentinels could group.
Closing Out
At 30:20 Shopify Rebellion claimed their first baron and converted it into a 7-3 tower lead with an 11-7 kill score and 57.2k to 52.0k gold. The decisive dragon advantage and Ezreal's safe carry closed the series gap to 1-2.
Polymarket Market
The market backed Sentinels at 70% for this game and 96% series odds at draft close, treating the 2-0 lead as near-decisive.

The result moved series odds to 87% for Sentinels while handing Shopify Rebellion real momentum for Game 4.
