Before the Series

Heading into this clash, the LPL meta was heavily skewed toward high-impact picks like Orianna, who maintains a massive 82.4% presence, and Varus at 76.4%. While analysts expected to see a heavy investment in Zaahen due to its impressive 66.7% win rate, the draft actually saw several key champions surface that would define the series trajectory. Specifically, we looked for signs of whether Varus, Wukong, Vi, and Trundle would deliver as predicted.

Game 3+ if any: The Climax

The final game was the ultimate confirmation of the blue side's superiority.
