Hanwha Life Esports vs Bilibili Gaming: Worlds 2026 Draft

TL;DR: Hanwha Life Esports and Bilibili Gaming enter their Worlds 2026 match with Bilibili holding the draft edge: its signature pool is broader at the top, led by Ryze’s 86.4% WR over 22G. Hanwha’s counterweight is Vi at 70.8% WR over 24G, but Bilibili’s strong answers and flexible threats should make draft control pivotal.

Hanwha Life Esports Draft Profile

Opponents most often target Jayce, banned in 39.1% of Hanwha’s 156 games, followed by Orianna at 26.3% and Varus at 23.7%. Hanwha’s own bans focus on Ezreal (30.8%), Orianna (30.1%) and Bard (25.6%), signaling a preference to remove reliable ranged pressure and playmaking.

Vi is the clearest high-value priority: Hanwha has a 70.8% WR over 24G with the jungler. Ziggs adds a strong alternative at 71.4% over 21G, while Gnar sits at 61.9% over 21G. Jarvan IV is more frequently picked, appearing in 28 games, but wins only 50%. That mix supports proactive engage and early skirmishes, with Ryze and Gnar offering options to flex the map and play for later fights.

Bilibili Gaming Draft Profile

Opponents ban Orianna against Bilibili in 41.7% of its 180 games, the clearest warning in either profile. Bilibili frequently removes Orianna itself (32.2%), alongside Rumble (26.7%) and Varus (26.1%).

Its signature results create real draft pressure: Ryze posts an 86.4% WR over 22G, Ezreal 79.3% over 29G, and Gnar 79.2% over 24G. Jarvan IV adds a 76% WR over 25G, while Pantheon wins 70.4% over 27G. This gives Bilibili both engage and scaling routes, making its draft harder to solve with a single ban.

State of the Meta — Worlds 2026

Nocturne leads the tournament at 89.4% presence and a 71.2% ban rate; Vi follows at 77.3% presence and a 57.6% ban rate. Cassiopeia’s 77.8% WR over 9G is the standout result, but both teams already ban her regularly. Vi’s 69.2% WR over 13G makes her a particularly contested bridge between tournament priority and Hanwha’s comfort.

For B1, Vi is 85.7% over 7G, Nocturne 75% over 4G, and Jarvan IV 75% over 4G. That favors an early jungle claim if available, especially for Hanwha. Bilibili can also answer with proven Jarvan IV or prioritize its higher-impact Ryze later.

Synergies That Decide Drafts

At Worlds, Ambessa–Nocturne wins 80% over 5G with +225 GD@15, an early-leaning result; Ashe–Seraphine wins 67% over 9G despite -311 GD@15, pointing toward a later payoff. These are local Worlds signals, not guarantees.

Across ALL_TIER1, Karma–Qiyana is 100% over 6G with +1760 GD@15, a clear early trend. Cassiopeia–Xayah is also 100% over 7G, but its -125 GD@15 suggests a more neutral opening. No Worlds trio meets the supplied filters.

Who Wins the Draft: Hanwha Life Esports or Bilibili Gaming?

Bilibili has more demonstrated high-win-rate options, while Hanwha’s clearest edge is Vi. Hanwha should consider bans on Ryze, Ezreal and Gnar; Bilibili should prioritize Orianna, Vi and Jayce, balancing tournament threats with Hanwha’s comfort. The most likely B1 options are Vi for Hanwha and Nocturne or Jarvan IV for Bilibili.

One likely route: Hanwha bans Ryze and takes Vi early, forcing Bilibili to choose between Nocturne and a strong bot-side answer. Another: Bilibili removes Vi and Orianna, then builds around Ryze or Ezreal; Hanwha should answer with engage through Jarvan IV and look for a Gnar or Ziggs lane.
