FURIA vs Leviatan: CBLOL 2026 Draft Edge

TL;DR: FURIA enter their CBLOL 2026 meeting with Leviatan holding the clearer draft edge: Yunara has delivered an 80% WR over 10G for FURIA, while Leviatan’s three most-picked champions have all posted below 34% WR. Expect FURIA to target jungle access and build toward scaling carries.

FURIA Draft Profile

Opponents regularly remove FURIA’s solo-lane comfort: Akali and Orianna each draw 26.4% ban rates, followed by Jarvan IV at 23.6%. FURIA answer with a sharply defined ban pattern, eliminating Nocturne in 48.6% of drafts and Nautilus in 45.8%, a signal that they prefer denying reliable engage and global jungle pressure.

Their strongest available core is flexible across game states. Yunara is the headline carry at 80% WR over 10G, while Pantheon sits at 77.8% WR over 9G and Sion at 66.7% WR over 12G. Ryze adds scaling with 58.3% WR over 12G, and FURIA can also pivot into early pressure through the Ambessa, Pantheon pair, which owns an 80% WR over 5G with +789 GD@15.

Leviatan Draft Profile

Leviatan receive heavy bans on Varus and Nautilus, both at 32.1%, with Akali, Neeko, and Nocturne each at 24.5%. Their own bans prioritize Jayce at 30.2%, then Orianna and Varus at 28.3%. That pool overlaps strongly with FURIA’s contested lanes, but it also leaves Leviatan little room to protect every FURIA comfort pick.

The problem is efficiency rather than access. Ezreal is Leviatan’s most-picked champion at 24.5% pick rate, yet has only 23.1% WR over 13G. K'Sante has a damaging 9.1% WR over 11G, Ryze is at 20% WR over 10G, and Xin Zhao has 0% WR over 8G. Their better route is Sion, at 62.5% WR over 8G, or Rumble, at 50% WR over 8G, supported by a more controlled scaling draft.

Current Meta in CBLOL 2026

This matchup will be shaped by high-presence bans. Orianna leads CBLOL at 69.2% presence and a 48% ban rate, while Varus reaches 65.2% presence with a 50.2% ban rate. Jarvan IV remains a crucial jungle flex point at 62.6% presence, and Nocturne carries a 44.9% ban rate.

For FURIA, the B1 data reinforces priority on Ryze, whose 76.9% WR over 13G makes him a strong opening pick, alongside Jarvan IV at 77.8% WR over 9G. Leviatan should be cautious about defaulting to Ezreal despite his popularity. Globally, Anivia, Ornn is a 100% WR over 5G pairing, but Leviatan’s Anivia record is 0% WR over 7G, making that trend a poor fit here.

Key Combos and Synergies

FURIA have the most direct local combination: Ryze, Yunara owns an 86% WR over 7G with +917 GD@15, an early lead that still scales well. Adding Jarvan IV produces a 100% WR over 4G trio and +520 GD@15. The Lucian, Milio, Vi trio is another early option at 80% WR over 5G and +1448 GD@15, though it is less aligned with FURIA’s signature picks.

Leviatan can consider Ezreal, Leona, Xin Zhao, a local 100% WR over 4G trio, but its -1574 GD@15 marks it as late and clashes with their poor individual Xin Zhao record. The global Anivia, Ornn trend is similarly less persuasive than FURIA’s proven local combinations.

Who Wins the Draft: FURIA or Leviatan?

FURIA should have more draft options because their winning picks connect into both early snowball and scaling. Leviatan’s must-bans should be Yunara, Pantheon, and Ryze; FURIA should prioritize bans on Nocturne, Nautilus, and Varus. FURIA’s likely B1 is Ryze, while Leviatan should likely choose Sion rather than force Ezreal.

If Leviatan ban Yunara and Pantheon, FURIA should likely open Ryze and seek Sion for scaling. If FURIA ban Nocturne and Nautilus while Leviatan leave Yunara open, FURIA should likely pair her with Jarvan IV and play for an early snowball.
