Kaiser's Rakan Steers Berlin Through Prime League Game 4

TL;DR: With the Prime League 1st Division Summer Playoffs series on the line, Berlin International Gaming closed out Kaufland Hangry Knights through Kaiser’s Rakan masterclass. His 1/2/26 line anchored a bot-lane advantage, while Berlin turned early gold control into a ruthless 31-12 win and two Barons.

Key Takeaways

• Kaiser delivered a 13.50 KDA on Rakan, contributing 1/2/26 and an 87% KP that made Berlin International Gaming’s engage game relentless.
• Patrik built a +1879 gold@15 lead with Jhin, giving Berlin International Gaming the ranged pressure that dismantled Kaufland Hangry Knights’ planned teamfights.
• Reeker erupted for 22/3/4 on Locke, turning Berlin International Gaming’s 31-12 kill score into an emphatic Prime League statement.

Building the Lead

Berlin International Gaming entered Game 4 needing one more win to close the series, and their bot lane immediately supplied the decisive edge. Patrik’s Jhin reached +1879 gold@15, a lead that denied Kaufland Hangry Knights the time and space needed to assemble their engage composition.

The live draft model had favored Kaufland Hangry Knights at 51%, largely because Rell, Pantheon, Rumble, Azir, and Yunara promised powerful fights around confined objectives. That projected draft edge never materialized: 113’s Jayce added 6/3/16 and +765 gold@15, helping Berlin seize tempo before those combinations could take hold.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The final economy told the story of a snowball that never slowed. Berlin International Gaming finished with 70.6k to 60.5k gold in 34:10, alongside 12 towers to 2, 2 dragons to 1, and 2 barons to 0.

At the center was Kaiser on Rakan, whose 26 assists converted every damaged target into another opportunity. Reeker’s Locke then supplied the finishing force, his 22 kills overwhelming an opposing formation that could not establish a stable front-to-back fight.

The Final Push

Kaufland Hangry Knights had isolated signs of resistance through Boda’s Rumble, who posted 3/2/6 and held a +476 gold@15 advantage. But the rest of the map was already slipping away, and Berlin’s objective control gave that small top-side edge no route back into the game.

With Baron buffs behind them, Berlin International Gaming converted control into structures rather than overextending for highlights. The 31-12 kill score reflected a one-sided finish, but the deeper difference was discipline: poke created openings, Rakan found the engage, and the carries cleaned up.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket priced Berlin International Gaming as the 63% favorite at draft close, against 37% for Kaufland Hangry Knights, and the market read the final result correctly. The pre-game favorite did not simply survive the model’s 51% draft lean toward Hangry Knights; Berlin exposed how conditional that draft advantage was. Hangry Knights needed early, organized objective fights before Jayce and Jhin could establish poke, but Berlin’s lane economy prevented that setup. Kaiser’s roaming engage and the 2 barons to 0 objective split made execution, not draft theory, the defining factor. This result closes the series at 3-1, with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
