Leviatan vs Vivo Keyd Stars: CBLOL 2026 Draft Edge

TL;DR: Vivo Keyd Stars should hold the draft edge over Leviatan in CBLOL 2026 because their Vi has an 85.7% WR across 7 games, while Leviatan’s most reliable signature pick is Sion at 62.5% WR. The deciding battle should be jungle priority around Jarvan IV, Nocturne, and Vi.

Leviatan Draft Profile

Leviatan receive concentrated pressure on Varus and Nautilus, each banned in 33.3% of their 51 games, followed by Neeko, Akali, and Nocturne at 25.5%. Their own bans target Jayce at 31.4%, then Varus and Orianna at 29.4%, revealing a preference to remove lane-control and scaling insurance before the draft develops.

Their comfort pool is broad but inefficient. Ezreal is their most common pick at 25.5%, yet carries only a 23.1% WR; K'Sante is worse at 9.1% WR over 11 picks, while Ryze posts 20% WR in 10 games. Sion is the exception: 62.5% WR from 8 games gives Leviatan a stable scaling front line. Rumble at 50% WR is their cleaner early-pressure option, while Jarvan IV at 33.3% WR needs stronger follow-up than Leviatan have consistently found.

Vivo Keyd Stars Draft Profile

Vivo Keyd Stars force opponents to ban Nocturne in 47.5% of 59 games and Akali in 45.8%, with Varus following at 37.3%. They answer by banning Jarvan IV at the same 47.5% rate, plus Bard at 33.9% and Orianna and Karma at 28.8%.

Their draft has more high-ceiling paths. Vi owns an 85.7% WR in 7 games, Ambessa has 75% WR in 8, and Ezreal, Aatrox, Ahri, and Yunara all sit at 50% WR or better. Rumble is their most frequent pick at 25.4%, supplying an early engage platform, while K'Sante has produced 0% WR over 7 games and should not be a priority fallback.

State of the Meta — CBLOL 2026

Orianna leads the league at 69.2% presence and a 48.1% ban rate, while Varus reaches 68.2% presence with a 53.3% ban rate. Jarvan IV remains central at 63.6% presence, directly explaining Vivo Keyd Stars’ ban priority. For B1, Ryze stands out with 75% WR in 12 games, while Jarvan IV has 66.7% WR in 6 and Rumble has 57.1% WR in 21.

The patch trend favors neither team’s old Orianna comfort: its WR fell from 62.5% to 33.3%. Ezreal climbed from 30% to 50% WR, which matters more for Vivo Keyd Stars given their 50% WR on the champion.

Synergies That Decide Drafts

Locally, Jarvan IV, Ryze, and Yunara are the premium trio: 100% WR in 4 games with +520 GD@15, an early snowball route Leviatan can pursue if Vivo Keyd Stars do not ban Jarvan IV. Vivo Keyd Stars can instead build around Lucian, Milio, and Vi, posting 80% WR over 5 games and +1448 GD@15.

Ezreal, Leona, and Xin Zhao reached 100% WR in 4 games despite -1574 GD@15, making it a late recovery composition rather than an early lead bet. Globally, Neeko and Qiyana are a 100% WR ALL_TIER1 pair across 5 games, but that trend is less actionable than the local combinations both teams repeatedly draft.

Who Wins the Draft: Leviatan or Vivo Keyd Stars?

Vivo Keyd Stars have more proven winning options, especially through Vi, Ambessa, and flexible Ezreal lanes. Leviatan should ban Nocturne, Akali, and Vi; Vivo Keyd Stars should remove Jarvan IV, Ryze, and Sion. Leviatan’s likely B1 is Ryze, while Vivo Keyd Stars should favor Rumble.

If Leviatan ban Nocturne, Akali, and Vi, they should likely first-pick Ryze and seek Jarvan IV, Ryze, Yunara. If Vivo Keyd Stars ban Jarvan IV, Ryze, and Sion, they should likely first-pick Rumble before completing Lucian, Milio, Vi only if Vi remains available.
