The Crusaders' recent struggles in the mid lane could be their undoing against Dream Esports, who have shown a solid grasp of mid control in their last few matches. Specifically, the Crusaders' mid laner has a troubling 40% winrate on his most played champions, which could be exploited by Dream's aggressive jungler.

The Crusaders have been inconsistent lately, with their last five games yielding only two victories. Their ADC has been a bright spot, maintaining a high KDA, but the overall team synergy appears fractured, particularly in late-game team fights. In contrast, Dream Esports is riding a wave of momentum with a four-match win streak, exhibiting flawless coordination and excellent macro play. Their top laner has been a standout performer, boasting a 10 KDA in the last few matches, and they’ve effectively utilized early game skirmishes to snowball leads.

Dream Esports has a superior hero pool, especially in the jungle and mid lanes, allowing for flexible draft strategies. They can comfortably prioritize engaging champions, enabling them to dictate the pace of the game. The Crusaders will likely struggle if they fail to secure strong frontline champions, as their current meta preferences lean toward squishy picks that can’t withstand early aggression. If Dream Esports can execute a strong early game plan, they can exploit the Crusaders' weaknesses in team fight execution.
