Draft Analysis
The drafting phase clearly highlighted the strategic gap between the two teams.
IG prioritized:
- Strong engage champions
- Reliable 5v5 team fight compositions
- Objective control tools
Instead of gambling on early snowball strategies, IG opted for macro-oriented drafts that scaled well into mid and late game. This approach ensured stability, even in games where they were slightly behind early.
Moreover, IG demonstrated adaptability. Whenever OMG attempted to shift strategies, IG responded with direct counter-picks, particularly in jungle and mid lane. This allowed IG to consistently maintain control over Dragon and Baron fights.
On the other hand, OMG aimed to:
- Draft strong laning champions
- Apply early pressure
- Build snowball-focused compositions
However, their drafts sometimes lacked cohesive mid-game engage tools. As a result, when the game slowed down, IG’s superior coordination and scaling proved decisive.
Additionally, OMG failed to effectively deny IG’s comfort picks, allowing IG to execute their game plan smoothly throughout the series.
Key Highlights
- IG consistently established early vision control around major objectives.
- Baron was the decisive tool in all three games.
- IG showed exceptional composure, especially when slightly behind in Game 2.
- OMG’s forced aggression in Game 3 led to positioning and vision errors.

While IG continue their campaign with growing confidence, OMG must regroup and refine their strategies for upcoming competitions. Based on this performance, IG have firmly established themselves as one of the strongest contenders for the LPL Cup 2026 title.
