Market signal is clear: 'YES'. In a BO3 EWC Qualifier, the probability of both NAVI and Galions each securing Baron Nashor at least once across the series is critically high. NAVI’s historical objective control rate sits at 68% for first Baron, reflecting strong mid-game macro play and efficient pit control post-teamfight. Galions, while often playing from a slight early gold deficit (-850 GPM at 15min average), demonstrates superior late-game scaling compositions and a 55% Baron take rate when game state extends past 30 minutes, frequently capitalizing on enemy overextension. Even if NAVI dominates Game 1 with multiple Barons, the strategic adaptation or a single misposition in Game 2 or 3 provides ample opportunity for Galions to execute a Baron play. Considering both teams' demonstrated capability to convert key pick-offs or numerical advantages into this crucial objective buff, the scenarios for split Baron ownership are robust. Expect aggressive Baron calls from both sides to close out games or break stalemates. 90% YES — invalid if series ends 2-0 with all Barons taken by a single team via uncontested means.
