TL;DR: Disguised enter their LCS 2026 meeting with LYON (2024 American Team) facing a narrower draft, while LYON hold the edge through deeper winning options. The most citable number is LYON’s 73.3% WR on both Lulu and Yunara across 15 games each.

Disguised Draft Profile

Opponents target Disguised’s comfort aggressively: Nocturne draws 39.2% bans, ahead of Orianna at 29.4% and Akali at 27.5%. Disguised themselves should continue removing Varus (45.1% ban rate) and Jarvan IV (43.1%), two high-presence LCS threats.

Their most repeated picks have not converted cleanly. Pantheon and Nami each appear in 10 games but hold 30% WR, while Ryze reaches 25% WR in 8 games. Akali is the exception at 50% WR over 6 games. This is a flexible pool on paper—Pantheon, Jayce, Ryze, and Aurora can reshape lanes—but Disguised need an early snowball rather than relying on their current scaling records.

LYON (2024 American Team) Draft Profile

LYON’s profile is much more efficient. Lulu, Yunara, and Xin Zhao each post 73.3% WR in 15 games, while Gnar and Rumble sit at 66.7% WR across 15 games. Ezreal and Wukong also carry 71.4% WR over 14 games.

Teams already respect that breadth: Varus is banned against LYON in 40.4% of drafts, with Akali at 31.7% and Nocturne at 27.9%. LYON frequently answer with bans on Vi (27.9%), Pantheon (21.2%), and Orianna (19.2%). Their draft can flex between protected scaling through Lulu and a proactive engage setup around Xin Zhao.

State of the Meta — LCS 2026

The first-phase board will be constrained by Orianna’s 70% presence and 48.8% ban rate, Nocturne’s 66.4% presence and 50.7% ban rate, plus Varus’ 65% presence and 52.5% ban rate. For LYON, Orianna is a particularly credible B1: she owns 72.7% WR in 11 games at P1 and 75% WR in 20 games at P2.

Disguised may instead prioritize Pantheon, whose P1 record is 60% WR in 10 games, if LYON leave him open. The patch trend complicates LYON’s usual priorities: Wukong climbed from 33.3% to 75% WR this patch, while Ezreal fell from 87.5% to 50%. LYON should still value both, but should not treat recent Ezreal results as automatic proof of a winning lane.

Synergies That Decide Drafts

The local ceiling belongs to Kalista, Renata Glasc, and Rumble: 100% WR over 5 games with +1454 GD@15, an early snowball package. Disguised can also look toward Corki, Nami, and Xin Zhao, which own 100% WR in 4 games and +282 GD@15.

LYON have cleaner overlap with Ryze and Wukong, an 86% WR pair over 7 games with +502 GD@15. The global ALL_TIER1 trend is less directly relevant: Lulu and Rek'Sai show 100% WR in 5 games, but LYON’s local Lulu record is the stronger reason to protect the enchanter.

Who Wins the Draft: Disguised or LYON (2024 American Team)?

LYON should have more stable routes because their high-WR core spans top, jungle, bot, and support. Disguised should must-ban Lulu, Yunara, and Xin Zhao; LYON should prioritize bans on Varus, Pantheon, and Orianna.

LYON’s likeliest B1 is Orianna if available; Disguised should most likely answer with Pantheon. In one scenario, Disguised ban Lulu, Yunara, and Xin Zhao, then build Corki, Nami, and Xin Zhao only if LYON do not remove Xin Zhao first. In another, LYON ban Pantheon and Orianna, secure Lulu with Gnar, and force Disguised toward an unproven scaling core.
