Compositions

FURIA drafted a decisive pick-and-engage composition built around Tatu’s Vi. Vi gives the Brazilian side a reliable point-and-click route into Dplus Kia’s back line, while Tutsz’s Galio can immediately follow with Hero’s Entrance and lockdown. That combination is particularly dangerous against immobile carries such as Smash’s Taliyah and ShowMaker’s Orianna, provided FURIA can reach them before the fight is softened by poke.

JoJo’s Bard adds another layer of volatility. Tempered Fate can isolate a target before Vi engages, deny an Orianna ultimate setup, or create space for Guigo’s Yorick to pressure a side lane. Ayu’s Ezreal is the safest member of FURIA’s draft, offering long-range damage and mobility while the rest of the lineup looks for a committed engage.

Dplus Kia answered with a more controlled poke, zone-control and counter-engage composition. Siwoo’s Jayce and Smash’s Taliyah can repeatedly chip targets before an objective fight begins. ShowMaker’s Orianna supplies the core teamfight threat, while Career’s Shen can protect a threatened carry or join a skirmish through Stand United. Lucid’s Naafiri gives DK the physical damage and access needed to punish FURIA if Vi or Galio commit without sufficient support.

Key Picks

Tatu’s Vi is the clearest win-condition pick on FURIA. Dplus Kia has several champions that prefer to hold formation and play at range, so Assault and Battery can force a fight even when DK wants to stall around vision. However, Vi must respect Shen’s protection and Orianna’s ability to turn a narrow engage into a devastating Shockwave.

Guigo’s Yorick is the draft’s most important map-pressure tool. DK’s five-man setup is stronger around dragons and barons, but Yorick can force an answer in a side lane. If Siwoo’s Jayce is pulled away from objective setups, FURIA gain a far easier path to contest vision and find Bard or Vi picks.

For DK, Smash’s Taliyah is the pivotal flex-style carry. Taliyah’s Worked Ground and Unraveled Earth make predictable engage routes extremely risky, especially for Vi. A well-placed Seismic Shove can also separate FURIA’s divers from Ezreal, leaving their back line without protection.

Draft Edge

Dplus Kia have the cleaner front-to-back structure. Their damage profile is balanced, their objective setup is excellent, and Shen provides insurance against the first engage. Jayce, Taliyah and Orianna can make FURIA pay heavily for arriving late to an objective or walking through narrow jungle corridors.

Still, FURIA’s draft has a sharper way to win. Vi-Galio-Bard can create picks from fog of war, while Yorick gives them a split-push condition that DK cannot ignore indefinitely. FURIA do not need to beat DK in every standard teamfight; they need to disrupt DK’s setup, force scattered responses, and turn a single catch into an objective.

Prediction

The draft edge is slightly with Dplus Kia because their poke and control tools are more reliable in organized objective fights. If DK maintain vision discipline and keep Shen ready to answer Vi, they should steadily control the map.

FURIA’s upset route is real, though. Early ganks from Vi, Bard roams, and Yorick’s side-lane pressure can snowball the game before DK’s formation becomes difficult to crack. Expect Dplus Kia to win if the game becomes structured, but FURIA to remain dangerous whenever the map becomes chaotic.
