SU Esports vs PCIFIC Esports: TCL Renata Draft Risk

TL;DR: SU Esports meet PCIFIC Esports in TCL Game 3 with the draft model favoring PCIFIC Esports 67% to 33%. The citable wrinkle is SU’s 67% record against Renata Glasc across 6G, while Patch brings Leona after only 2G on the champion in TCL.

SU are deliberately challenging Renata Glasc with Leona rather than avoiding the reset threat. Patch must create the first clean engage before monkaS can turn a pick with Bailout; if SU’s bottom lane falls behind, PCIFIC’s Kalista-Renata tempo can make that plan unplayable.

Compositions: SU Esports vs PCIFIC Esports

SU Esports drafted a volatile engage-and-pick composition. IlllIma’s Camille supplies side-lane split-push pressure, RAMES on Nocturne can punish isolated targets, and Vetheo’s LeBlanc adds roam and burst. Nako’s Viktor is the scaling insurance, while Patch’s Leona gives SU direct engage around objectives.

PCIFIC Esports answer with stronger early skirmish tools. Bayonetta’s Jax can match Camille in a side lane, stalken’s Olaf can resist Nocturne’s initial engage, and FireAscept’s Sylas can convert stolen ultimates into mid-game fights. Scorth’s Kalista and monkaS’s Renata Glasc want lane priority, early dragons, and a snowball before Viktor reaches decisive scaling.

Key Picks and Stats

Camille is a credible comfort angle for IlllIma: she holds a 50.6% global WR over 344G, a 50.0% TCL WR over 8G, and IlllIma is 50.0% on Camille in TCL across 2G with a 2.1 KDA. Yet Camille versus Jax is only 44.4% over 6G, while Bayonetta’s Jax has a 62.5% TCL WR over 8G despite a 47.0% global WR over 283G.

The jungle matchup favors PCIFIC statistically. RAMES has a 66.7% TCL WR over 6G and a 3.8 KDA on Nocturne, but Nocturne has a 40.0% global WR versus Olaf over 5G. stalken owns an 80.0% TCL WR over 10G on Olaf, although his 0.0% Olaf record in 1G and 1.7 KDA show a tiny, concerning player-specific sample.

Vetheo’s LeBlanc is SU’s sharpest counter-pick: LeBlanc has a 100.0% global WR versus Sylas over 3G, while FireAscept’s Sylas is 0.0% versus LeBlanc over 3G and only 26.7% in TCL across 15G. Bottom lane is less secure: Nako’s Viktor sits at 33.3% in TCL over 27G, but Patch is 100.0% on Leona in 2G with a 4.6 KDA. monkaS counters with a 77.8% TCL WR over 9G on Renata Glasc and a 66.7% personal WR in 3G.

Draft Edge

PCIFIC retain the draft edge because Olaf, Kalista, and Renata Glasc can force the game’s pace before SU’s Viktor scaling matters. SU’s win condition is a controlled mid game: LeBlanc and Nocturne must create darkness-driven picks, then Camille must threaten the opposite side of the map. The LeBlanc-versus-Sylas data gives SU a real route to upset the broader draft.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket, the key external signal, prices Game 3 at SU Esports 87% and PCIFIC Esports 13%. The current series market is also heavily pro-SU at 78% to 22%. No series pre-match odds were provided, so movement from pre-match cannot be quantified.

The Game market is 9 percentage points more optimistic for SU than the series market, implying traders particularly like SU’s immediate Game 3 situation. That confidence likely reflects the 67% SU record against Renata Glasc over 6G, Patch’s 100.0% Leona TCL result over 2G, and Vetheo’s favorable LeBlanc-Sylas history, despite PCIFIC’s faster composition.

Prediction

The model starts at PCIFIC Esports 67% to SU Esports 33%, but the real-money market and SU’s targeted mid/support matchups justify tightening that to PCIFIC 60% and SU 40%. PCIFIC’s 0.800 team-form signal and 0.543 Elo remain meaningful, while the series is tied after PCIFIC won Game 1 19-4 in 30:40 and SU answered Game 2 25-14 in 33:10. Momentum is therefore split rather than decisive.
