Piero’s Lulu Sets the Tone as Solary Take WSCI Opener

TL;DR: Piero’s Lulu anchored Solary’s opening-game win over DN SOOPers Challengers, pairing 1/2/20 with 84% kill participation as Aetinoth’s Yunara built a +1,752 gold lead at 15 minutes. Solary converted that bot-lane edge into two Barons and a 25-16 finish, setting the tone for the 2026 WSCI best-of-five.

Key Takeaways

• Piero finished 1/2/20 with 84% KP, giving Solary’s fights a steady backbone.
• Aetinoth powered Yunara to +1,752 gold at 15 minutes, a commanding bot-lane advantage.
• Solary won 25-16 and claimed 2 Barons to 0, turning their lead into control of the map.

Early Game

The pre-series case favored Solary: their 71.5% forecast reflected a 7W-0L run and an average +5,248 gold differential. But the opening game’s most visible early signal came from the bottom lane. While Aetinoth surged ahead by +1,752 gold at 15 minutes, Revenge’s Lucian was left with the same-sized deficit. That gap gave Solary’s carries room to grow, even as DN SOOPers Challengers found ways to stay in the fight.

DDoiV’s Vi delivered the clearest counterpunch, finishing with 8/3/5 and leading his team’s damage through the kill column. Flip’s Lissandra added 4/5/8, helping DN contest engagements rather than simply fold to the gold gap. Still, Piero’s Lulu made each exchange harder to convert into a clean breakthrough: the support ended on 1/2/20, and the supplied 84% KP captures how often Solary’s fights ran through her.

The pre-draft flags all appeared in the game: Vi, Lucian, and Yunara. Vi’s kill-heavy line gave her the strongest direct payoff, Lucian struggled against the early deficit, and Yunara delivered the defining lane advantage—so the warning was most vindicated by Solary’s pick.

The Turning Point

Solary’s lead became more than a bot-lane story when the team started translating it into map control. Camille’s 7/3/11 gave Kryze another threat in the side lanes and fights, while Aetinoth finished 5/3/16. Those numbers point to a carry who did more than collect the early gold: Yunara stayed involved as Solary pressed forward.

DN’s 16 kills kept the contest alive, but the objective count exposed the difference in conversion. Solary secured 3 dragons, took 10 towers against DN’s 4, and claimed 2 Barons while the challengers got none. The Barons gave Solary the leverage to press their advantage across the map instead of letting DN’s skirmishes reset the pace.

Closing Out

At 35:00, Solary closed the game with 74.3k gold to DN’s 65.0k, a 9.3k margin. Wukong’s 6/3/13 added another reliable engage, and the support’s 20 assists helped Solary’s threats work together. The result put Solary 1-0 up in the BO5: a composed opener built on a bot-lane lead, backed by objectives.

Polymarket Market

The game market gave Solary 61% at draft close, and the favorite delivered. That was directionally right, but the match made the route clearer than the price alone: the decisive edge was Aetinoth’s +1,752 gold at 15 minutes, with Piero’s 84% KP helping Solary turn that advantage into coordinated fights and two Barons. The series market had already leaned Solary’s way before the opener, at 72%, so this result reinforced rather than flipped the pre-match view. After the win, its series outlook moved to 82% for Solary from 70% at draft close, a 12.0 percentage-point rise. DN still has the next game to answer Solary’s objective control.
