T1 vs CTBC Flying Oyster: Worlds 2026 Draft Preview
T1 and CTBC Flying Oyster meet at Worlds 2026: a data-led draft preview of signature picks, key bans, meta priorities and winning combinations.
TL;DR: T1 should hold the draft edge against CTBC Flying Oyster at Worlds 2026: its Vi has a 88.5% WR across 26 games, while CTBC’s most-used picks are less reliable. Expect Nocturne and Vi to shape the bans, with T1’s wider winning pick pool giving it more ways to build a draft.
T1 Draft Profile
Opponents ban Bard into T1 in 62.9% of games, far ahead of Nocturne at 35.3% and Orianna at 31.1%. T1’s own bans most often target Orianna (31.7%), Varus (29.9%) and Nautilus (22.2%), with Vi and Akali also regular concerns.
T1’s signature picks provide its clearest advantage: Vi is 23-3, an 88.5% WR across 26 games, and Jayce is 20-5, an 80% WR across 25 games. Xin Zhao adds an 18-6 record and 75% WR over 24 games. That pool can support early engage and snowball through Vi or Xin Zhao, while Jayce offers lane pressure. Ryze and Anivia give T1 additional options when it wants scaling rather than an all-in early draft.
CTBC Flying Oyster Draft Profile
Lucian is the most common target against CTBC, banned 28.1% of the time; Ezreal follows at 22.5%. CTBC most often bans Nocturne (28.1%), then Ezreal (20.2%), while Varus, Akali, Jarvan IV and Lee Sin are each banned 16.9% of the time.
Rumble leads CTBC’s signature picks with 18 games and a 55.6% WR. Its strongest listed result is Pantheon at 72.7% over 11 games, though the broader pool is uneven: Jayce has a 30.8% WR over 13 games, Renekton 33.3% over 12, and Jarvan IV 25% over 12. CTBC can contest early through Rumble and Pantheon, but T1’s better results on shared champions such as Jayce and Jarvan IV make those flex choices risky.
State of the Meta — Worlds 2026
Nocturne leads the field at 93.3% presence and a 73.3% ban rate, with a 77.8% WR over 9 games. Vi follows at 75.6% presence and a 66.7% WR over 9 games. Both teams have reason to prioritize or deny these junglers: T1 wins heavily with Vi, while CTBC bans Nocturne most often.
The best B1 results include Vi at 100% WR over 4 games, plus Nocturne and Jarvan IV at 75% over 4 games each. T1’s Vi record makes first rotation especially valuable; CTBC’s Nocturne bans suggest it may instead remove a high-impact option. At R1, Qiyana has a 60% WR over 5 games, while Rumble is 66.7% over 3.
Synergies That Decide Drafts
The local Worlds pair Ashe and Seraphine wins 67% over 6 games, but its -1151 GD@15 marks a late-game profile. Qiyana and Rumble win 60% over 5 games with +1269 GD@15, an early-game combination that fits CTBC’s Rumble priority.
Across ALL_TIER1, several pairs show 100% WR, including Karma and Qiyana (+1760 GD@15, early) and Sejuani and Sylas (+3340 GD@15, early). These are global signals, not proof of Worlds performance; the local Qiyana-Rumble result is more directly relevant to this matchup.
Who Wins the Draft: T1 or CTBC Flying Oyster?
T1 has more proven draft options, led by its standout Vi, Jayce and Xin Zhao records. T1 should consider bans on Rumble, Nocturne and Akali; CTBC should look at Vi, Jayce and Bard, balancing T1’s signature picks against the Bard ban trend.
T1’s likely B1 is Vi if available. CTBC’s likely first rotation should consider Rumble, its most-used signature pick and a strong R1 option in the Worlds sample.
| Champion | Who values it | Pick or ban | WR | G |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vi | T1 | Pick or ban | 88.5% | 26 |
| Jayce | T1 | Pick or ban | 80% | 25 |

| Jarvan IV | Both | Pick or ban | 57.1% | 14 |
| Akali | CTBC Flying Oyster | Pick or ban | 46.7% | 15 |
Scenario one: CTBC bans Vi and Jayce, then secures Rumble; T1 can answer with Xin Zhao and preserve its engage options. Scenario two: T1 removes Rumble and Nocturne, then takes Vi early; CTBC should seek a different jungle path rather than rely on a contested Jarvan IV.
