LØS vs Vivo Keyd Stars: Leona Gamble in CBLOL

TL;DR: In CBLOL Game 2, LØS are projected to beat Vivo Keyd Stars 63% to 37%, but Vivo Keyd Stars have built their draft around scamber’s Leona, a champion with a 42% CBLOL WR over 31G against Nautilus’s 60% over 92G. The catch is scamber has played Leona only 1G in CBLOL, so the engage pick must immediately create value.

Vivo Keyd Stars are asking scamber’s Leona to turn a difficult recent series position into decisive bot-side engage. Leona can lock down Duduhh’s Tristana for Jeskla’s Jhin and enable Naafiri follow-up, but a 0.0% personal CBLOL WR over 1G means this is a deliberate high-variance call rather than a proven comfort pick.

Compositions: LØS vs Vivo Keyd Stars

LØS drafted a direct skirmish and front-to-back teamfight composition: Zest’s Gnar supplies engage or peel, Curse’s Pantheon can gank early, Feisty’s Syndra adds pick threat and poke, while Duduhh’s Tristana brings scaling carry damage behind Ackerman’s Nautilus. Their clean route is early river control through Pantheon, then using Nautilus hooks and Syndra scatter pressure to let Tristana reset fights.

Vivo Keyd Stars have sharper single-target engage and a potent side-lane counter-pick. zekas’s Vayne is built to punish Gnar in the split-push, while Disamis’s Naafiri and Mireu’s Ahri can roam onto isolated targets. The red side needs Leona to start fights before LØS can establish formation; otherwise, Jhin lacks the sustained damage to match Tristana and Vayne must find flanks rather than front-to-back space.

Key Picks and Stats

The top matchup is the clearest counter-pick. Gnar has a 55.0% global WR over 995G, but only a 32.5% CBLOL WR over 40G; Zest is at 33.3% over 6G with a 1.3 KDA. Against Vayne, Gnar holds only a 36.2% global WR over 47G. zekas’s Vayne posts a 57.7% global WR over 196G, although his CBLOL mark is 37.5% over 8G, and Vayne has a 63.8% global WR over 47G into Gnar.

Jungle is volatile. Curse’s Pantheon has a 47.1% global WR over 975G but a 60.5% CBLOL WR over 38G; his own Pantheon is only 25.0% over 4G despite a 4.4 KDA. Disamis has a 65.0% CBLOL WR over 20G on Naafiri, yet owns a 0.0% personal record over 1G. Pantheon’s 100.0% CBLOL mark over 2G into Naafiri is too small to outweigh Naafiri’s 61.1% global WR over 54G in the matchup.

Feisty’s Syndra has a 53.3% CBLOL WR over 30G and a 50.0% personal record over 2G, while Mireu’s Ahri is 57.1% over 7G with a 4.7 KDA. Bot favors LØS: Duduhh’s Tristana is 66.7% over 6G and an exceptional 100.0% over 2G with a 13.5 KDA, against Jeskla’s Jhin at 53.6% CBLOL WR over 28G.

Draft Edge

Last night’s forecast expected LØS to value Ryze, Corki, Viktor, and Jarvan IV, with Vivo Keyd Stars likely prioritizing Ryze, Corki, and Jarvan IV bans. None of those projected B1 priorities appear in this draft, and neither side followed the expected ban script around Vi, Akali, and Nocturne. Instead, Vayne into Gnar changes the top lane completely, while Leona into Nautilus is the more fragile deviation because scamber’s sample is just 1G.

The model still favors LØS because their form is 0.900, Elo signal is 0.753, and season WR is 0.611, versus Vivo Keyd Stars at 0.600, 0.247, and 0.451. Vivo Keyd Stars can overturn that edge through Vayne side-lane pressure and Naafiri-Ahri picks; LØS win by protecting Tristana and denying Leona’s first engage.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket prices Game 2 at 70% for LØS and 30% for Vivo Keyd Stars, more confident in LØS than the model’s 63% to 37%. The Series market is even stronger: LØS are 88% now against Vivo Keyd Stars at 12%, compared with 74% to 26% pre-match.

The supplied series delta reports -62.0 percentage points for LØS, which conflicts with the listed move from 74% to 88%; the quoted snapshots themselves indicate a rise in LØS confidence. Game odds are less optimistic for LØS than series odds, suggesting the market sees Game 2 as Vivo Keyd Stars’ better upset window, likely because Vayne has the matchup edge into Gnar and Leona can force early fights. G1, however, went to LØS 9-15 kills in 32:50, reinforcing the broader series price.

Prediction

The model calls LØS 63% and Vivo Keyd Stars 37%. I would hold near that number rather than chase Polymarket’s 70%, because Vayne’s lane counter and Leona’s engage create genuine draft leverage; still, LØS’s superior form, Elo, and Game 1 momentum make their Tristana-centered scaling setup the safer outcome.
