Ayu’s Miss Fortune Powers FURIA’s Worlds Game 4 Closeout

TL;DR: With Cloud9 facing elimination, Ayu’s Miss Fortune finished 7/0/5 and anchored FURIA’s commanding Game 4 win. A modest model edge became a one-sided result: FURIA took 16-7 in kills, built a 12.7k gold lead, and closed the Worlds 2026 series in 28:40.

Key Takeaways

• Ayu went 7/0/5 on Miss Fortune, making her damage and survival the centerpiece of FURIA’s decisive 16-7 kill advantage.
• Tatu finished 5/0/6 on Vi, delivering on the pre-draft flag with a flawless line as FURIA controlled the map.
• FURIA turned the draft model’s 51% preference into a win, ending with 60.7k gold and a 12.7k advantage.

Building the Lead

Cloud9 entered Game 4 needing a win to stay alive, but FURIA had the clearest route to the finish: pair Vi and Rell for engage, then let Twisted Fate pressure the map. The plan delivered. Tatu’s 5/0/6 on Vi gave FURIA a reliable way to start fights, while Tutsz stayed deathless at 2/0/5, adding follow-up without giving Cloud9 an opening to punish.

The pre-draft warning about Vi proved well-founded: the champion appeared and contributed to a controlled, clean-looking FURIA performance. Cloud9 Ziggs offered poke to discourage an all-in, but FURIA’s engage repeatedly made that theoretical counterweight difficult to use. Ayu made the advantage count, ending on 7/0/5 and a 12.0 KDA. His 75% kill participation tied him directly to three quarters of FURIA’s takedowns.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The match lasted 28:40, but the gap was already decisive by the finish. FURIA collected 9 towers to Cloud9 2, and the teams each took 2 dragons; the difference came elsewhere, with FURIA securing 1 Baron and Cloud9 none. The objective tally helped turn a 16-7 kill edge into 60.7k gold against 48.0k.

The draft model favored FURIA at 51%, and that edge materialized in the result. That number suggested a narrow advantage, not a rout. FURIA’s coordinated engage and Ayu’s spotless death count made the actual game far more one-sided than the pregame percentage implied.

The Final Push

Cloud9 strongest individual gold-difference-at-15 figures belonged to Blaber at +769 and Tactical at +460, but neither could convert that early footing into control of the game. Loki’s 3/4/1 on Locke and the team’s seven total kills could not match FURIA’s sustained pressure. Meanwhile, JoJo supplied 11 assists on Rell, helping make the engage composition work even through 3 deaths.

Polymarket Market

At draft close, Polymarket gave FURIA 46% and Cloud9 54%, so the market treated the game as close but leaned toward Cloud9 The result went the other way: FURIA’s 16-7 kill lead and 12.7k gold advantage showed how strongly its engage and execution could outperform that expectation. Before the series, the market had already leaned toward Cloud9 at 84%; this Game 4, however, belonged to FURIA. This result closes the series FURIA 3-1 Cloud9, and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
