HANJIN BRION Draft Profile
Opponents ban Orianna against HANJIN BRION most often, at 36% across 114 games; Rumble, Jayce, and Nocturne each draw 25.4%. HANJIN BRION itself most often removes Orianna (28.1%), then Varus and Karma (23.7% each). Those bans suggest a preference for limiting mid-lane control and disruptive engage options.
Its signature pool is broad, but results vary. Ezreal leads in pick volume at 25 games and has a 48% WR; Xin Zhao reaches 52.4% over 21 games, while Jayce posts 52.6% over 19 games. Aurora is the standout by win rate among frequent picks, at 56.3% over 16 games. The mix points toward flexible options and skirmish potential, though Ryze (35% over 20 games) and Pantheon (26.3% over 19 games) carry risk. The supplied data does not establish a reliable team-wide early or scaling profile.
Natus Vincere Draft Profile
Orianna is the most targeted opponent ban against Natus Vincere, at 39.3% over 89 games. Natus Vincere’s own top bans are Jarvan IV (40.4%) and Jayce (34.8%), with Nautilus at 31.5%. That priority could constrain engage and counter-pick routes.
Natus Vincere has several productive comfort picks: Aatrox owns a 75% WR over 12 games, Sion and Yunara each reach 66.7% (12 games apiece), and Bard records 60% over 15 games. Rumble is its most-used signature pick, with 18 games and a 50% WR; Lulu offers another frequent option at 46.2% over 13 games. Compared with HANJIN BRION, Natus Vincere’s sample includes more high-performing choices, giving it a stronger set of proven draft outcomes.
Current Meta in Demacia Cup Global Invitational 2026
No tournament champion-meta or patch-shift data is available, so there is no sound basis for naming dominant picks by presence or ban rate. The pick-order sample shows Lee Sin jungle and Rumble top each at 33.3% WR over 3 games in P2; neither is a convincing B1 benchmark. For these teams, the clearest guide is their own history: Natus Vincere should weigh its Aatrox results, while HANJIN BRION can consider Aurora or Jayce.
Key Combos and Synergies
The local standout is Lucian–Milio: 71% WR over 7 games, with +566 GD@15, marking an early-leaning pairing. No qualifying local trios were found. Globally, the listed ALL_TIER1 pairs all show 100% WR, but samples range from 5 to 9 games. Camille–Yunara and Camille–Lulu each have +897 GD@15 and are early-oriented; Cassiopeia–Xayah has -125 GD@15, a more neutral-to-late signal. These are broader trends, not proof either team has practiced them.
Who Wins the Draft: HANJIN BRION or Natus Vincere?
Natus Vincere has more convincing options by results, particularly among its signature picks. HANJIN BRION should consider banning Aatrox, Sion, and Yunara; Natus Vincere should target Aurora, Jayce, and Xin Zhao. Likely B1 priorities are Aatrox for Natus Vincere and Aurora for HANJIN BRION, based on the available win rates rather than tournament pick-order evidence.
One likely scenario: HANJIN BRION bans Aatrox, Sion, and Yunara, then builds around Aurora; Natus Vincere answers with Rumble and looks to preserve its remaining comfort options. Alternatively, Natus Vincere removes Aurora, Jayce, and Xin Zhao, while HANJIN BRION takes Ezreal early and tries to avoid the lower results associated with Ryze and Pantheon.
