Matchup Analysis

Two recently reshaped lineups

Cloud Dawning added jyy and setuna in late September, while Ivory’s listed starting five joined across a short September window. Both sides may still be building coordination, making execution in the early lanes worth watching.

Cloud Dawning needs a reset

Cloud Dawning’s latest listed results include a 1–2 loss to Team Kinetix and straight-series defeats to Yangon Galacticos and Xipto Esports. The team has had little recent evidence of a stable winning formula.

Ivory arrives after another setback

Ivory also lost its latest listed series, 0–2 to Yangon Galacticos, after dropping matches to Team Kinetix, YACHE123, and Xipto Esports. A slow start could put pressure on a lineup still adjusting to its recent changes.

Previous meetings favor Ivory

Ivory won both listed head-to-head meetings, each by a 2–1 score. That history gives Ivory a modest matchup-specific reference point, though the teams’ current lineups are different.

Gohan’s farming rate stands out

The match page lists Gohan at 659 GPM, compared with Cloud Dawning carry ZQHY at 587. If Ivory can protect Gohan’s farm without giving up too much map control, its carry may have an advantage in the later stages.

A potential Leshrac comfort pick

Leshrac is Gohan’s most successful listed hero on the match page, with three wins in four appearances. Cloud Dawning may want to account for that option in the draft.

Pick Ideas

Ivory moneyline

Ivory is the market favorite, with one listed odds board showing 1.55 against Cloud Dawning at 2.29. Consider Ivory to win only if that price remains available and fits your risk tolerance.

Over 2.5 maps

A three-map series is a reasonable higher-variance angle in this best-of-three. One listed market offered the over at 1.61; compare prices and keep the stake modest.
