Key Takeaways
- Kael guided Lulu to a 1/1/12 score and 87% KP, ensuring Anyone's Legend’s carries always had protection when fights broke open.
- Breathe’s Yorick finished 5/0/1, turning a flawless sidelane threat into the pressure that stretched Invictus Gaming’s defense.

Early Game
Game 3 arrived with the Grand Finals level after Invictus Gaming took Game 1 and Anyone's Legend answered in Game 2, making this the contest that would put one side in front. The early draft model gave Invictus Gaming 50%, but its supposed edge never materialized on Summoner’s Rift.
Tarzan’s Sejuani created the room for controlled engages, ending 2/1/10 while denying Wei the explosive early snowball Invictus Gaming needed. IG did secure 3 dragons to Anyone's Legend’s 2, yet those objectives could not compensate for losing control of the map’s profitable spaces.
The Turning Point
The game’s defining texture came from Kael’s Lulu, whose 13.00 KDA made every attempted response from Invictus Gaming feel too dangerous. Shields, speed, and timely protection allowed the stronger scaling composition to fight on its own terms rather than chase uncertain skirmishes.
Meanwhile, Shanks turned Viktor’s 5/1/3 into a mid-game wall, punishing any IG approach through chokepoints. On the other side, Rookie’s Sylas could manage only 0/2/2, a reflection of how little clean access Invictus Gaming found once the front line and back line moved as one.
Closing Out
Once Anyone's Legend secured their first Baron, the game stopped being a contest of isolated plays and became a test of containment. Breathe’s Yorick forced attention in the side lane, while the rest of the lineup used Baron pressure to dismantle 8 towers against only 2.
A second Baron removed the remaining doubt. Hope’s Yunara contributed 2/2/8, and the composition’s protection meant Invictus Gaming could not reach the damage dealers without paying for it. The final 15-5 kill score and 64.0k to 55.6k gold margin showed why dragons alone were not enough: Anyone's Legend owned the fights that decided the base.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket read Game 3 correctly at draft close, pricing Anyone's Legend at 60% against Invictus Gaming’s 40%, even though IG had held a slight 52% to 48% series lean before Game 1. The live draft model’s 50% preference for Invictus Gaming did not become an in-game edge; its poke-and-pick setup never consistently cracked Lulu’s protection or answered Yorick’s sidelane pressure. Execution revealed that Anyone's Legend’s scaling was more reliable than the draft split suggested. After the result, the series market moved from 55% to 74% for Anyone's Legend, while Invictus Gaming fell from 46% to 26%, making the next game a recovery mission for IG.
