RUDDY ULTRAS vs MINUS ONE

Grand Finals
BEST OF 5 · FEARLESS DRAFT

Format & Ground Rules

Fearless Draft, Best of 5. Neither team can pick a champion their own side has already picked earlier in this series — bans reset every game. Across five games each team burns 25 champions, so pool depth decides the late games as much as skill does.

Sub watch. Against Glorp Cat, "wise traveler" played support instead of DannyDumptruck, and "chover" subbed in at mid for games 3 and 4. If either shows in the lineup, the scouted pool below shifts. Their role order above is taken from the multisearch order — worth a quick confirm.

Bot lane intel

  • Favourite duos: Jhin/Ezreal + Karma · Ashe + Seraphine · Kai'Sa/Varus + Neeko · Kai'Sa/Varus + Nautilus
  • Yunara + Lulu and Lucian + Milio have never appeared in an official match from them — the support plays plenty of Lulu and Milio, but the ADC has little Yunara and no Lucian data.

Ban Priorities

working plan
K'SanteRyzeVi KarmaCassiopeiaViktor
Less certain, keep on the table:
Qiyana
Qiyana into Jarvan. If we leave the option open, expect them to take Qiyana against our Jarvan IV. Be aware of it before locking Jarvan, and decide whether Qiyana is worth a ban in the games where Jarvan is our jungle plan.
Don't blind Olaf without bans in place. Olaf answers K'Sante well, but it's a reactive pick, not a safe first pick — secure it with bans rather than committing early.

Fearless Depth & Projected Burn

extra analysis

Minus One have already been through one full fearless run this playoffs — four games against Glorp Cat. That series shows exactly how their pool drains and where it runs thin.

Mid burns here are not all Ted1. The Orianna (G3) and Aurora (G4) picks in that series were played by their sub Chover, not their main mid. Their main midlaner has shown no Aurora at all, so treat those two as Chover's pool rather than evidence of what Ted1 will play in the finals.
