Drafting 101: #3 Ballistix Vs. Fnatic

This draft is an interesting one in which the better team doesn't necessarily get the better team composition. I feel that Fnatic won this draft, but you'll have to watch and find out to see who won the game. I know we have looked at plenty of Infernal Shrines games, but I truly think this is an interesting draft, and I hope you enjoy!

Important Takeaways

Kerrigan is still high priority on this map. She generally should be picked or banned.

Zarya is a strong pick on Infernal Shrines because of her basic attack, pulse bombs, and both heroics for zoning.

E.T.C is currently one of the highest priority picks in the warrior meta. Muradin is a strong second.

Just because you win draft doesn't mean you will win the game. It appeared that Fnatic had the better draft but the results didn't reflect the draft.

Malfurion is the top priority support still.

Tassadar is higher priority on this map than usual because of his wave clear and zoning potential with Force Wall.

Valla is a good pick on Infernal Shrines because of the Multishot build.

Kael'Thas is probably the best mage here because of Flamestrike, Phoenix, and the Living Bomb potential.

Overall this was a very interesting draft. Both teams seemed to have gotten what they want. Fnatic drafted incredibly well here. They got debatably the best warrior, Tychus, the best ranged assassin, and Malfurion, the best support. I was really surprised how well Fnatic drafted in this game and I expected them to win the game.
