— Riftbound Zone’s official-data analysis says 1,962 players registered on Day 1, 371 advanced, and 44 Legends appeared. Irelia was most played at 193 entries, but 63 of 165 Kennen players reached Day 2. Its October 3 analysis of nine Chinese City Challenges and other events still places Irelia and Master Yi in Tier 1; it cautions that the new ranking reflects diverse post-ban play, not a single dominant deck.
