Doggo also holds a +299 GD@15 advantage over Harky’s -290, creating a compelling path for CTBC to snowball through coordinated bottom-side plays. MVK need Kratos, who owns +244 GD@15, to turn top-side priority into a stable platform for the rest of the map.
Draft could decide whether MVK can slow that tempo. Orianna and Nocturne are likely ban priorities after posting 67.4% and 67% presence respectively, with Nocturne carrying a 59.1% ban rate. CTBC should also be alert to a potential B1 Rumble, whose 62% WR across 71 games makes him the standout meta pick, while Cassiopeia offers a volatile alternative at 100% WR in 8 games.
Polymarket makes CTBC Flying Oyster the 58.5% favorite, against 41.5% for MVK Esports. That market view matches CTBC’s recent 3-2 head-to-head win, stronger 4W-1L form, and substantial early-game advantages across jungle, bot, and overall gold generation.
