Invictus Gaming vs Weibo Gaming Game 2 Draft Analysis: Ryze and Seraphine vs Anivia Control

Compositions

Invictus Gaming’s Blue-side draft is built around mid-range teamfighting, reliable engage, and sustained scaling. Rookie’s Ryze gives IG a powerful central lane carry who can control side waves, accelerate rotations with Realm Warp, and punish Weibo Gaming if its immobile backline is caught without vision. Assum’s Seraphine and Meiko’s Rell form the draft’s most important pairing: Rell can start fights decisively, while Seraphine can layer Encore and follow-up damage across clustered targets.

TheShy’s Olaf adds a direct answer to Weibo’s engage tools. Ragnarok allows him to ignore Nautilus crowd control and run through Anivia’s control zones, creating a major threat against Xiaohu and Elk. Wei’s Naafiri is less conventional in a jungle carry role, but she offers fast access to the backline after Rell engages or Ryze locks targets in place. IG want structured fights around objectives, then enough follow-up damage to turn a single Rell engage into a won fight.

Weibo Gaming’s composition is more focused on range, zone control, and pick pressure. Xiaohu’s Anivia can make objectives extremely difficult to approach through Glacial Storm and Crystallize, while Elk’s Syndra supplies burst damage and long-range catch potential. Jiejie’s Jayce gives WBG poke before fights and another physical damage source that can soften IG before they find engage.

Zika’s Renekton and Jwei’s Nautilus are WBG’s frontline initiation tools. Their job is to create a brief opening for Syndra and Jayce rather than survive extended front-to-back fights. WBG need to control vision first, establish terrain around dragon or Baron, and force IG to walk through Anivia and Jayce poke.

Key Picks

Ryze is IG’s defining pick. He has priority in the map game because his side-lane pressure can pull Anivia away from important fights. If Rookie gets early space, Realm Warp can also bypass WBG’s preferred choke-point setup and create unexpected angles for Olaf or Rell.

Seraphine is the most valuable scaling piece on either roster. Her shields, healing, and multi-target ultimate make IG increasingly difficult to burst as the game progresses. She also turns Olaf into a more durable threat during a dive.

For WBG, Anivia is the draft’s battlefield controller. Crystallize can split IG’s engage formation, deny Ryze paths, or isolate Naafiri after she commits. Xiaohu must preserve key spells for the moment IG commit rather than spend them simply clearing waves.

Draft Edge

IG have the stronger all-in teamfight combination and more dependable scaling. Rell, Seraphine, Ryze, and Olaf all benefit when fights become chaotic and extended. Their composition also has clear execution: Meiko engages, Rookie follows, and Assum layers protection and crowd control.

WBG have sharper early objective control, but their margin for error is smaller. Jayce and Syndra must generate meaningful poke before Nautilus or Renekton commit. If they fail to create health advantages, IG’s engage can overwhelm Anivia before WBG’s carries can reset the fight.

Prediction

Invictus Gaming hold the draft edge. WBG can win through disciplined vision control, Jayce poke, and Anivia’s objective setup, but IG have more answers once fights begin. Expect Rookie and Meiko to dictate mid-game rotations, with Seraphine’s scaling giving IG the advantage in the decisive late-game teamfights.
