FlyQuest vs Xi'an Team WE: Annie and Kalista Shape DCGI Game 2

TL;DR: FlyQuest and Xi'an Team WE meet in DCGI Game 2 with FlyQuest favored 55%–45% by the draft model. The defining draft fact is FlyQuest’s Annie–Kalista pairing: its modeled duo win rate is 59.31%, giving the blue-side composition a powerful engage-and-follow-up route against Team WE’s Vi initiation.

Compositions: FlyQuest vs Xi'an Team WE

FlyQuest’s Ornn, Ambessa, Annie, Kalista, and Renata Glasc form an engage-heavy teamfight composition. Early, Gryffinn’s Ambessa can contest skirmishes while Massu’s Kalista and Cryogen’s Renata look to pressure lane. In mid game, Annie’s stun and Ornn’s initiation can set up Kalista’s follow-up; Ornn’s upgrades also strengthen FlyQuest’s late-game scaling. The comp wants coordinated fights, not a drawn-out poke contest.

Team WE’s Renekton, Vi, Viktor, Lucian, and Milio offer reliable pick tools, early skirmish threat, and Viktor’s late-game damage. Monki’s Vi can lock down a target for Karis’s Viktor or About’s Lucian, while Erha’s Milio helps Lucian keep dealing damage. WE should exploit its early engage and Renekton’s lane pressure, then use Viktor’s scaling to make later fights harder for FlyQuest.

Key Picks and Stats

At top, Gakgos’s Ornn has a 48.7% global WR over 351G this season, versus Cube’s Renekton at 50.4% over 956G. The matchup sample favors Renekton: Ornn is 44.4% over 45G against him, while Renekton is 55.6% over 45G against Ornn. Ornn has a 47.18% model champion WR across 101 games; Renekton has 51.76% across 241.

In the jungle, Gryffinn’s Ambessa is 48.8% over 1373G, while Monki’s Vi is 53.2% over 1292G. Their head-to-head rates lean toward Vi, at 41.7% for Ambessa and 58.3% for Vi over 12G. The model’s broader champion records are 49.91% for Ambessa and 53.28% for Vi.

Mid is closer: Quad’s Annie has a 54.0% global WR over 637G and a 50.0% matchup WR over 56G against Karis’s Viktor, who sits at 50.2% over 944G and also 50.0% over 56G. The model gives Annie 54.48% over 185 games and Viktor 50.78% over 340.

Bot favors Kalista by season record: Massu is at 51.7% over 350G, compared with About’s Lucian at 49.0% over 995G. Yet Lucian leads the head-to-head 52.2% to 47.8% over 46G. Support is a warning sign for FlyQuest: Renata Glasc’s 51.2% over 344G faces Milio’s 48.2% over 819G, but Milio has a 55.6% matchup WR over 36G against Renata.

Draft Edge

FlyQuest’s clearest edge is its teamfight connection: Annie plus Kalista carries a 59.31% modeled duo WR, and Ornn gives the composition another way to start fights. WE’s 55.6% Renekton matchup rate into Ornn and Vi’s direct advantage over Ambessa are meaningful counter-pick signals. Renekton–Lucian and Renekton–Milio synergy also rates 68.63% and 67.43%, respectively.

The draft diverges sharply from the night-before forecast. Lucian was expected as a likely B1 for either side, but neither team selected him first; WE took him for bot instead. The anticipated Ezreal, Karma, and K'Sante options for FlyQuest are absent, as is the proposed Rumble priority. The listed expected bans—Cassiopeia, Ambessa, Ezreal, Orianna, and Nocturne—cannot be verified from the supplied draft record. Renata Glasc is the standout forecast deviation for FlyQuest, particularly with no listed model games for the Renata–Milio pairing.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket gives FlyQuest 36% and Xi'an Team WE 64% for Game 2. The Series market is 44%–56% for FlyQuest and Team WE, respectively; before the match it was 20%–80%. That is a +36.0 percentage-point move toward FlyQuest in the series market.

The market is more pessimistic about FlyQuest in this specific game than across the series: its Game 2 price is 8 points below its series price. That gap contrasts with the draft model’s 55%–45% FlyQuest lean. WE’s favorable lane matchups and the market’s strong pre-match support for WE may help explain the gap, while FlyQuest’s coordinated teamfight draft supports the sharp series repricing. These are not identical Game and Series odds, so this is not the deciding-map market exception.

Prediction

The model makes FlyQuest a 55% pick over Xi'an Team WE at 45%. The 59.31% Annie–Kalista synergy and FlyQuest’s 60% team-form signal support that lean, but the 36% Game 2 market price and WE’s top-side matchup edges argue for caution. I would keep the model’s narrow FlyQuest advantage rather than increase it: WE can swing the game by snowballing Renekton and Vi’s early pressure.
