Compositions

Bilibili Gaming drafted a proactive composition built to create numbers advantages across the map. Bin’s Gnar supplies the primary engage threat, while Xun’s Naafiri wants to punish isolated targets after lanes gain priority. The central piece is Knight’s Twisted Fate, whose Destiny can turn any sidelane skirmish into a sudden collapse. With Viper’s Ezreal providing safe poke and ON’s Seraphine offering layered shielding, healing, and follow-up crowd control, Bilibili Gaming can play both fast and controlled.

Dplus Kia chose a composition with stronger conventional front-to-back tools and significant scaling. Lucid’s Poppy is the defensive anchor: Steadfast Presence can interrupt Naafiri’s entry and deny Gnar’s access angles, while Keeper’s Verdict can remove a key diver before a fight begins. ShowMaker’s Ryze and Siwoo’s Tristana offer devastating side-lane pressure once they acquire items, and Smash’s Jhin gives Dplus Kia long-range pick potential around objectives. Career’s Karma rounds out the draft with lane poke, movement speed, and shields that help the carries kite.

Key Picks

Twisted Fate is Bilibili Gaming’s most important pick. Knight does not need to win a pure damage race against Ryze; he needs to establish vision and tempo for Xun. If Twisted Fate can roam first, Dplus Kia’s Tristana top lane becomes especially vulnerable to dives, because Siwoo has limited reliable protection before Poppy arrives.

Naafiri is the volatility pick. Xun can snowball the game rapidly through early ganks, particularly when Gold Card and Seraphine crowd control lock down a target. But Naafiri’s engage is telegraphed, and Poppy is one of the best answers in the game. Bilibili Gaming must track Lucid carefully rather than force blind engages into Steadfast Presence.

For Dplus Kia, Poppy is more valuable than her damage chart will show. Lucid can protect Ryze and Jhin from Naafiri, stop Gnar from finding Mega Gnar flanks, and control narrow jungle corridors before major objectives. If Poppy holds her key cooldowns, Dplus Kia can force Bilibili Gaming into uncomfortable poke exchanges.

Draft Edge

Bilibili Gaming own the clearer early-game plan. Their champions create natural roam windows, and Ezreal plus Seraphine can survive weak-side pressure while Twisted Fate influences the map. Their draft also has several engage layers, making it easier to punish a positioning error.

However, Dplus Kia have the more forgiving scaling setup. Ryze, Tristana, and Jhin can all threaten from range, while Karma and Poppy make it difficult for Bilibili Gaming to commit cleanly. Dplus Kia’s draft is particularly strong if they can keep the game stable through the first objective rotations.

The deciding factor is whether Bilibili Gaming can use Destiny to create a lead before Ryze and Tristana become dominant side-lane carries.

Prediction

Bilibili Gaming have a narrow draft edge because their proactive tools can dictate the pace. Expect Xun and Knight to target Siwoo or create cross-map plays around the first major objectives. Still, this is a high-execution draft: one failed Naafiri engage into Poppy control could hand Dplus Kia the fight.

Prediction: Bilibili Gaming win if they establish an early tempo lead; Dplus Kia are favored if the game reaches a controlled scaling phase.
