Expect both teams to contest Vi and Rumble, with bans shaping whether Karmine Corp can secure its strongest engage options.
Karmine Corp Draft Profile
Opponents most often target Jayce (29.9%) and Orianna (28.6%) against Karmine Corp, then Rumble (24%). That attention reflects a profile with several threats worth removing, not one champion that defines the draft. Karmine Corp itself most frequently bans Nocturne (35.1%), Nautilus (29.9%) and Vi (29.2%), suggesting it values limiting reliable engage and jungle pressure.
Its clearest priority is Vi: 84% WR over 25G. Viktor also brings a 78.9% WR over 19G, and Gnar a 77.8% WR over 18G. Rumble is the signature comfort pick by volume, appearing in 34 games with a 67.6% WR. These results point to flexible routes: engage through Vi, teamfight control with Rumble, or a scaling mid-game plan around Viktor. Jarvan IV adds another engage option at 81.3% WR over 16G.
Movistar KOI Draft Profile
Opponents commonly ban Nocturne and Akali (27.4% each) against Movistar KOI, alongside Orianna and Nautilus (26.5% each). Movistar KOI’s own bans focus on Orianna (25.6%), Jarvan IV (21.4%) and Jayce (20.5%). The overlap on shared meta threats could make early ban phases particularly important.
Rumble is a frequent comfort pick, with 61.9% WR over 21G, while Anivia has a 75% WR over 16G. Pantheon stands out at 78.6% WR over 14G. Ezreal, despite leading the team’s picks with 21 games, has a 47.6% WR; Ryze is at 33.3% over 15G. That makes Anivia and Pantheon more compelling performance-based targets than simply following pick volume. Movistar KOI can play for control and scaling, but its Rumble or Pantheon options also support proactive engage.
Current Meta in Worlds 2026
Nocturne leads presence at 89.4%, and Vi follows at 77.3%; both teams regularly ban these junglers. Vi’s 69.2% WR across 13 games makes the pick especially attractive if available. Cassiopeia combines 71.2% presence with a 77.8% WR, but is likely to draw bans. The strongest B1 results include Vi at 85.7% over 7G, Nocturne at 75% over 4G, and Jarvan IV at 75% over 4G.
For these teams, the local profiles make Rumble and Vi central, while Worlds results reinforce the value of early jungle priority. No patch-shift data is supplied, so no rising or falling patch trend can be established.

Karmine Corp has more proven options by the numbers: Vi, Viktor, Gnar and Jarvan IV each exceed a 77% WR in their listed samples. Movistar KOI’s best results are concentrated in Anivia and Pantheon. Karmine Corp should consider banning Nocturne, Anivia and Pantheon; Movistar KOI should prioritize Vi, Viktor and Jarvan IV.
