LEC Shifters vs Movistar KOI Game 2 Draft Analysis: Can Sheo’s Naafiri Break the Red-Side Engage?
Shifters and Movistar KOI clash in Game 2 with Naafiri-Orianna scaling against Lucian, Lee Sin, Galio and Leona’s explosive engage.
Compositions
Shifters drafted a composition built around controlled front-to-back teamfighting and reliable scaling. Rooster’s K'Sante and Stend’s Alistar give the blue side a durable engage line, while nuc’s Orianna can punish clustered opponents with a decisive Shockwave. Paduck’s Ezreal adds safe, long-range poke and can follow fights without standing inside Movistar KOI’s primary engage range.
The unusual element is Sheo’s Naafiri jungle. Rather than providing conventional initiation, Naafiri threatens access to the back line after the fight begins. If Movistar KOI commit their crowd control onto K'Sante or Alistar, Sheo can use that opening to reach Supa or Jojopyun. Shifters want patient setups around objectives, where Orianna’s ball placement forces Movistar KOI to respect every choke point.
Movistar KOI selected a much more direct, explosive composition. Elyoya’s Lee Sin, Alvaro’s Leona and Jojopyun’s Galio can chain crowd control onto a target before Shifters can establish their formation. Supa’s Lucian supplies the early-game damage needed to convert those catches, while Myrwn’s Jayce gives the red side poke before an engage and strong side-lane pressure later.
This is a classic contrast: Shifters want a stable five-versus-five with Ezreal and Orianna dealing damage over time, while Movistar KOI want to create chaos, force picks and snowball before Orianna becomes the central carry.
Key Picks
Sheo’s Naafiri is the most important individual pick in the draft. The champion gives Shifters assassination potential that their other lanes lack, but Naafiri must navigate Lee Sin kicks, Leona lockdown and Galio’s taunt. A failed entry could leave Shifters without damage during the crucial part of a fight.
For Movistar KOI, Jojopyun’s Galio is the draft’s connective piece. Galio can cover Jayce during side-lane pressure, answer Lee Sin’s aggressive plays with Hero’s Entrance, and disrupt Orianna before she finds a clean Shockwave. His ultimate also makes Paduck’s immobile moments after Arcane Shift especially dangerous.
Myrwn’s Jayce deserves attention as well. Jayce can make objective setups uncomfortable for Shifters, whose composition would prefer opponents to walk into them. If Myrwn lands repeated poke before a dragon or baron fight, Movistar KOI can engage against a weakened frontline and deny Shifters their ideal formation.
Draft Edge
Movistar KOI own the stronger early-game agency. Lee Sin and Leona can impact every lane, Lucian has immediate bot-lane pressure, and Jayce can contest early priority against K'Sante. Their draft has several ways to start action and should be favored if Elyoya finds clean early ganks.
However, Shifters have a clearer late-game fight pattern. Orianna plus Alistar and K'Sante creates a powerful zone-control shell, and Ezreal remains difficult for Lee Sin or Galio to lock down. If Shifters avoid conceding too much tempo, Movistar KOI may struggle to enter objective areas without exposing Supa to Shockwave or Naafiri’s follow-up.
The edge is therefore situational: Movistar KOI have the easier execution early, but Shifters have the more dependable scaling structure.
Prediction
Movistar KOI should control the opening through Elyoya and Alvaro, especially if Lucian-Leona establish bot priority. Still, Shifters’ composition has enough disengage, scaling and counter-engage to survive an imperfect early game.
Prediction: Shifters win if they reach organized objective fights without a major gold deficit; otherwise Movistar KOI’s engage will snowball the map. The draft slightly favors Movistar KOI because their tools can punish Naafiri’s risky entries, but the game should remain highly sensitive to nuc’s Orianna positioning.
