Pollu’s Lulu Drives KT's WSCI Opening Rout Over CTBC

TL;DR: Pollu’s Lulu delivered a commanding 1/1/17 line and 95% KP as KT Rolster Challengers dismantled CTBC Flying Oyster Academy in 29:30. FenRir’s bot-lane advantage fueled a 19-14 kill win, while two Barons turned a heavily favored WSCI opening result into a decisive statement.

Key Takeaways

• Pollu posted an 18.00 KDA on Lulu, participating in 95% of KT Rolster Challengers’ kills and making every winning fight safer.
• FenRir built a +1439 GoldDiff@15 on Yunara, then finished 9/3/7 to turn the bot-lane gap into KT Rolster Challengers’ main carry route.
• KT Rolster Challengers claimed 2 barons to 0 and 9 towers to 3, converting their 63.8k to 54.1k gold edge into an emphatic WSCI victory.

Building the Lead

The pre-match read was clear: CTBC Flying Oyster Academy entered with just 9.5% to KT Rolster Challengers’ 90.5%, and Game 1 confirmed that prediction. CTBC’s hoped-for scaling path revolved around Tracy after his prior +1,335 GD@15 and 31.9% damage share, but Caitlyn fell -1439 behind at 15 minutes.

That opening advantage belonged to FenRir and Yunara, whose lane control supplied an 84% KP finish and denied CTBC the stable bot side needed to play patiently. Sylvie’s Pantheon added 3/4/8, finding the pressure points that let KT’s winning lane spread its lead across the map.

CTBC did find resistance through Zkai’s Yorick, who held a remarkable +1414 GoldDiff@15 and contributed 6/3/0. Yet that side-lane edge could not offset a game increasingly dictated by KT’s coordinated engage and protection.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The final 19-14 kill score does not fully convey the stomp. KT Rolster Challengers owned 3 dragons to 1, destroyed 9 towers to 3, and ended with a 9.7k gold lead, the kind of economy that strips opponents of room to contest objectives.

Hwichan’s Cassiopeia died only once in a polished 2/1/5 performance, while the mid laner’s control helped keep CTBC from reaching the back line. Beside him, Sero’s Rumble produced 4/5/4 despite a -1414 GoldDiff@15, illustrating how completely the team’s wider map advantage covered individual lane deficits.

The Final Push

Once KT secured its first Baron, CTBC’s defensive options narrowed sharply. Yuhe’s Anivia had earned +165 GoldDiff@15 and finished 3/5/5, but the walls and waveclear could not halt a team with Baron-enhanced lanes, superior vision, and a second Baron to seal the map.

The final push reflected the match’s central truth: Lulu made Yunara extraordinarily difficult to remove, and every attempted response opened another avenue for KT. With 63.8k gold behind their formation, KT Rolster Challengers closed a one-sided 2026 League of Legends contest exactly as the favorites were expected to.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket read this game accurately. KT Rolster Challengers were 90% favorites roughly 90 minutes before Game 1 and rose to 92% at draft close, so the 19-14 victory was the expected outcome rather than an upset. The market correctly recognized KT’s stronger lanes and deeper individual production, especially the danger of their solo-lane options around Sero. What the draft and execution revealed was how decisively bot lane would decide the pace: FenRir’s +1439 GoldDiff@15 and Pollu’s 1/1/17 transformed a likely KT win into a rout. This result closes the series at 0-1, with the full series-market wrap-up belonging in the series recap.
