General Draft & Pick Analysis
Both teams came in with different draft philosophies and strategic approaches.
WBG prioritized champions with strong engage tools, area control, and powerful 5v5 teamfight potential. This allowed them to take full control of dragon and Baron fights, consistently gaining the upper hand whenever the two teams clashed.
WBG’s draft was also very stable and mid-game oriented. As a result, they didn’t need to snowball early to stay in control of the match tempo.
JDG’s composition, on the other hand, relied more on individual mechanical plays. However, when it came to full teamfights, they lacked clear engage tools and struggled to protect their main carries.
Overall, WBG’s draft fit the meta better, was easier to execute, and proved extremely effective in 5v5 situations — exactly as reflected in their on-stage performance.
