HANJIN BRION vs Kiwoom DRX Game 2 Draft Analysis: Anivia Scaling Against Yorick Pressure

Compositions

HANJIN BRION built a composition that wants controlled teamfights, front-to-back spacing, and enough time for Casting’s Anivia to become the central scaling threat. Anivia’s wall and zone control can make neutral-objective setups extremely uncomfortable for Kiwoom DRX, especially when paired with Namgung’s Milio. Milio gives both Anivia and Teddy’s Lucian more room to output damage safely, while the cleanse effect can deny a key Annie stun or Pantheon engage.

The important question for BRION is whether they can create enough space for that backline. GIDEON’s Lee Sin is their primary early-play tool and their most reliable way to disrupt Kiwoom DRX before the enemy composition establishes vision. Roamer’s Aurora adds flank potential and can isolate targets, but BRION’s damage profile becomes much stronger when fights are orderly rather than chaotic.

Kiwoom DRX drafted a more direct pick-and-pressure composition. Willer’s Pantheon and Ucal’s Annie give DRX immediate engage and burst access, while Andil’s Karma supplies poke, shields, and movement speed for engages or disengages. Aiming’s Ezreal can stay safe while chipping targets before an objective fight, giving DRX a practical way to force BRION into awkward health bars.

The unusual centerpiece is Frog’s Yorick. Yorick creates a side-lane problem that Anivia cannot always answer cleanly, particularly if BRION commit multiple members to dragon setups. DRX can use Yorick’s split-push threat to pull BRION apart, then look for Pantheon pressure onto the remaining players.

Key Picks

Anivia is the defining pick for HANJIN BRION. She gives the blue side exceptional control around narrow jungle entrances, where Crystallize can block Pantheon’s path and separate Ezreal or Karma from their frontline. If BRION secure river vision early, Anivia can turn a standard objective contest into a choke-point trap.

Lucian-Milio is also a major win condition. Teddy has the range extension and protection to play aggressively in mid-game fights, but Lucian must avoid being the first target of Annie’s Flash engage. If Milio preserves his defensive tools for the right moment, BRION can punish DRX after their initial cooldowns are spent.

For Kiwoom DRX, Yorick is the most draft-warping choice. Frog does not need to win every teamfight; he needs to create a map state where BRION cannot group all five players around Anivia. Maiden pressure can force awkward responses, and Pantheon’s ultimate makes DRX dangerous whenever BRION send a champion to answer the side lane.

Draft Edge

HANJIN BRION have the stronger pure teamfight scaling and superior control around fixed objectives. Their combination of Anivia, Milio, and Lucian can be very hard to crack if Lee Sin and Aurora prevent a clean engage.

However, Kiwoom DRX own the more proactive early map. Pantheon can influence side lanes quickly, Annie provides dependable setup, and Yorick gives DRX a clear split-push plan even if the first few fights go poorly. DRX’s draft is easier to execute before BRION reach their ideal formation.

The draft edge is narrow, but BRION’s composition has more dependable late-game answers if they avoid early snowball.

Prediction

Kiwoom DRX should have the first opportunities through Pantheon activity and Yorick’s side-lane pressure, but HANJIN BRION have the tools to absorb that opening. If Teddy and Casting reach major items without falling behind, BRION’s objective control should become decisive.

Prediction: HANJIN BRION win Game 2 through Anivia-led late-game teamfights, provided they contain Yorick before the side lane becomes unmanageable.
