Vivo Keyd Stars vs FURIA Game 2 Draft Analysis: Ezreal and Taliyah Against FURIA's Engage

Compositions

Vivo Keyd Stars assembled a composition built around mid-jungle pick pressure, long-range poke, and fast objective control. Mireu’s Taliyah and Disamis’ Vi form the central engine: Vi can force access onto a priority target, while Taliyah can punish displaced or locked-down enemies with Threaded Volley and Seismic Shove. Scamber’s Nautilus gives the team another reliable engage tool, making FURIA’s carries vulnerable whenever they lack vision or summoner spells.

Jeskla’s Ezreal provides the safety this composition needs. He can contribute poke before fights, follow Vi’s engages with Trueshot Barrage, and avoid much of FURIA’s direct engage through Arcane Shift. Zekas on Rumble is the major area-control threat. The Equalizer can split FURIA’s frontline from Ayu’s Kaisa and Tutsz’s Syndra, especially around dragon entrances and Baron corridors.

FURIA drafted a more direct teamfight engage and follow-up composition. Luuukz’s Wukong, JoJo’s Leona, and Guigo’s Galio can layer crowd control onto a single target and create a devastating opening for Ayu’s Kaisa. Once an enemy is marked by Leona or caught in Wukong’s Cyclone, Kaisa can dive deep with Killer Instinct while Galio arrives to reinforce the engage.

The limitation is that FURIA’s composition has shorter effective range. Syndra offers valuable poke and burst, but FURIA generally must cross Taliyah minefields, Ezreal damage, and Rumble zoning before its engage can fully connect.

Key Picks

Taliyah is the defining pick for Vivo Keyd Stars. She is particularly effective into Wukong and Kaisa because both champions want to dash aggressively into fights. Unravelled Earth can punish those entries, while Weaver’s Wall can isolate a side lane target or cut FURIA off from an objective.

For FURIA, Galio is the stabilizing flex-style answer. Guigo can absorb pressure in the side lane better than a fragile carry top laner, and Hero’s Entrance gives FURIA a way to turn Vi’s engage into a counter-engage. If Vi commits too deeply without Nautilus nearby, Galio and Leona can trap her before Vivo Keyd Stars’ backline arrives.

Ezreal versus Kaisa is also crucial. Ayu has the higher all-in carry ceiling if FURIA reaches the backline, but Jeskla should have more freedom to farm safely and poke during neutral setups.

Draft Edge

Vivo Keyd Stars have the clearer draft edge because their tools work at multiple ranges. They can poke with Ezreal and Taliyah, force picks with Vi and Nautilus, or fight front-to-back through Rumble’s ultimate. Their draft also makes it difficult for FURIA to engage cleanly: each committed dive can be met by Taliyah control, Nautilus lockdown, and The Equalizer.

FURIA’s path is narrower but dangerous. They need coordinated vision denial, decisive engage timing, and enough patience from Ayu to enter after key cooldowns are spent. A failed Wukong or Leona engage leaves FURIA exposed to heavy return damage.

Prediction

Vivo Keyd Stars should be favored if they maintain river vision and avoid isolated side-lane deaths. Their composition is stronger around structured objective fights, where Taliyah and Rumble can dictate terrain.

FURIA can still snowball through early ganks from Luuukz and JoJo, particularly against Taliyah before she has defensive space. However, Vivo Keyd Stars own the more flexible draft and the more reliable late-game fight setup.
