Game 1 ended in 41:27 with a score of 25 kills to 20. The Bot^$ finished with an 18,082 gold lead. Game 2 was even clearer: The Bot^$ won in 36:47 with 36 kills to 18 and a 19,750 gold lead.

Game 3 went the other way. Amaru Gaming won in 41:57 and made 30 kills against only 7. Their biggest gold lead was 18,776.

What was the craziest moment?

Game 4 was the story of the series. Amaru Gaming were 5,108 gold ahead at minute 26. Then The Bot^$ turned it around. By minute 46 their lead was 26,881 gold, and they won 36 kills to 29.

Amaru Gaming had a strong carry, the player who farms gold for the late fights. Costabile played Necrophos and went 16/4/6, but his team could not hold the lead. ɹǝʞɹɐd on Tiny went 10/6/13, and SLATEM on Earth Spirit went 11/4/19.

What comes next for The Bot^$?

The Bot^$ also beat PlayTime 2–0 on the same day, so they won two series on 2026-10-15. These are qualifier games for DreamLeague Season 30, and every win keeps a team closer to the main event.

For Amaru Gaming, the result hurts after such a strong game 3. They showed they can beat The Bot^$, but they could not do it twice. For the full overview of the week, read our weekly news roundup.
