SourceRuby’s Game Changers pedigree keeps ceiling high
ALTERNATE aTTaX Ruby arrive as an established Game Changers program, with back-to-back Project Queens titles in 2024 Splits 2 and 3 underscoring a proven winning core despite recent mixed results.
SourceSakura’s starting five offer balanced fragging threats
FOKUS Sakura’s lineup of star, Addi, Mali, cabbit and Samyyy brings relatively even average combat scores and kill numbers across roles, making it difficult for Ruby to focus counterplay on a single carry.

Ruby’s active roster featuring ginger, Blossi, Harmonee, Jade, Lil Bob and substitute myinoh combines long-tenured pieces with newer additions, giving them flexibility to adjust compositions and roles across the series.
SourceSakura’s sub-40% win rate signals high-variance performance
With an overall win rate around 36.8% across 25 victories and many more losses, Sakura profile as a volatile side capable of both sharp upsets and sudden collapses depending on form on the day.
SourceRuby’s heavy 2026 schedule tests tournament endurance

SourcePick Ideas
Ruby series handicap (+1.5 maps) as value play
Ruby’s 56% all-time match win rate and current three-loss streak suggest a team that often competes closely even in defeat, making a +1.5 maps handicap attractive if Sakura are priced as clear favorites.
Underdog Ruby moneyline based on championship pedigree
Given Ruby’s ability to capture events such as the Lioness Cup 2024, backing them at underdog odds to win the series outright can be justified on the basis of their proven tournament-winning ceiling.
Sakura map-win props leveraging home-organization edge
As the women’s team of German organization FOKUS and designated home side here, Sakura could benefit from local support and comfort, making bets on them to take at least one map appealing when prices are fair.
