Draft Overview: UP Win from the Pick & Ban Phase
Before the games even began, both teams showed very different strategic identities in the draft.
While OMG focused on individual skill matchups, on the other hand, Ultra Prime prioritized a teamfight-oriented and objective-control composition.
Therefore, UP didn’t just beat OMG on the Rift — they already won in the draft room. In addition, their lineup fit the LPL 2026 meta perfectly: it was easy to execute, strong in the mid game, and extremely effective in 5v5 fights. Meanwhile, OMG’s composition relied too much on mechanical outplays and, consequently, lacked synergy.
Match Recap: OMG vs UP – LPL Cup 2026
Game 1: UP Completely Dominate OMG
Ultra Prime took control from the very beginning. With superior jungle pressure and mid-lane priority, UP built an early lead in both kills and gold.
OMG struggled heavily around Dragons and Rift Herald fights. By mid game, the gold gap had already become overwhelming, forcing OMG into a defensive posture.
After just over 30 minutes, UP closed out Game 1 with a textbook teamfight to take a 1–0 lead.
Game 2: OMG Fight Back, but It’s Not Enough
OMG played more aggressively in the early game of Game 2. However, poor vision control and positioning mistakes allowed UP to consistently catch them out.
Ultra Prime once again showed excellent teamfight coordination. They snowballed every small advantage and never gave OMG a real chance to come back.
UP finished Game 2 in around 33 minutes, securing a 2–0 clean sweep victory.
Key Highlights from OMG vs UP
- Ultra Prime dominated map control and major objectives (Dragons, Heralds, Baron).
- UP’s mid laner was the core engine of the team — pushing lanes and roaming effectively to support both side lanes.
- OMG had a few good early moments, but overall:
- Poor jungle vision
- Disconnected team movement
- Weak protection for their carries in teamfights
These issues made it impossible for OMG to turn small advantages into real momentum.
Final Thoughts on OMG vs UP – LPL Cup 2026
The win over OMG further strengthens Ultra Prime’s position at the LPL Cup 2026. Their macro play and teamfight execution look tournament-ready.
Meanwhile, OMG must improve coordination and map control if they want to compete with the top teams in the league.
