Karmine Corp vs AG.AL Game 2 Draft Analysis: Zeri-Anivia Scaling Against Qiyana Pressure

Compositions

Karmine Corp drafted a composition built around front-to-back teamfighting, reliable engage, and late-game scaling. Canna’s Rumble supplies major area control around objectives, while Yike’s Lee Sin gives the team early access to ganks, tempo plays, and pick potential. The core, however, is the pairing of kyeahoo’s Anivia and Caliste’s Zeri. Anivia can lock down corridors with Crystallize and Glacial Storm, creating the kind of confined fights where Zeri can safely stack damage and carry.

Busio’s Alistar completes that plan cleanly. He can start fights, peel divers away from Caliste, or punish AG.AL if they commit too deeply. Karmine Corp do not need to force every early fight; they want controlled objective setups, vision around choke points, and enough time for Zeri to reach her key items.

AG.AL have a more explosive composition. Tarzan’s Qiyana is the draft’s biggest early-game threat, especially when paired with Kael’s Leona. If Leona finds engage or Qiyana reaches a river flank, AG.AL can quickly erase a priority target before Karmine Corp establish their formation. Shanks on Ryze adds follow-up crowd control, roaming pressure, and strong scaling through side-lane play.

Flandre’s Ornn gives AG.AL a dependable engage tool and valuable late-game upgrades, while Hope’s Ezreal offers safe poke and damage from range. Their composition has answers in every phase, but it is more dependent on execution: Qiyana must create chaos before Karmine Corp’s defensive structure becomes too difficult to break.

Key Picks

Caliste’s Zeri is the central carry pick for Karmine Corp. Against Ezreal, Zeri can be pressured in lane, but she has a much higher teamfight ceiling if she survives the early stages. Alistar and Anivia are excellent partners because both can deny direct access to her.

Tarzan’s Qiyana is AG.AL’s most important tempo pick. Qiyana can punish Lee Sin’s early pathing, threaten mid lane around Anivia’s immobility, and turn dragon or Baron setups with a single Supreme Display of Talent. Her effectiveness will depend heavily on vision denial and flank access.

Canna’s Rumble also deserves attention. Equalizer can split AG.AL’s formation, limit Ezreal’s movement, and force Ryze away from ideal positions. Rumble is particularly dangerous when Anivia has already transformed the battlefield into a narrow corridor.

Draft Edge

Karmine Corp have the clearer teamfight identity. Their champions naturally combine around objectives: Alistar engages, Rumble zones, Anivia controls space, and Zeri cleans up. This draft is forgiving once the game reaches structured 5v5 situations.

AG.AL have more ways to create an early lead. Qiyana, Leona, and Ryze can roam, while Ezreal can play weak side safely. Yet their engage must be precise. Diving into Alistar, Anivia, and Rumble can become disastrous if Zeri is untouched.

The draft edge is therefore situational. AG.AL own the sharper early-game tools, but Karmine Corp own the more stable late-game teamfight.

Prediction

Expect AG.AL to attack early through Tarzan and Kael, particularly around mid lane and the first objective rotations. If Qiyana finds a flank and Ryze can follow with Realm Warp pressure, AG.AL can snowball the map.

Still, Karmine Corp’s composition should become increasingly difficult to fight into after the mid game. Karmine Corp are favored if the game remains close and reaches coordinated objective fights, because Zeri-Anivia-Rumble offers superior control in the spaces where major matches are often decided.
