Team helm fields a noticeably stronger squad by leaderboard rank (★18000 vs ★20866), giving them a tangible individual skill advantage heading into this match.
From a hero matchup standpoint, Team helm has a commanding draft advantage (+1035). Their heroes are statistically favoured across the majority of matchup cells, making this a very lopsided draft on paper.
For Team helm, Disruptor is the standout pick of the draft — with a combined advantage of +469 across all five opposing heroes, it puts enormous pressure on the enemy lineup.
On the other side, Team Razer's Shadow Shaman is a particularly dominant pick here — posting a -353 combined score against the radiant lineup, it poses a serious threat that Team helm must account for.
The Nyx Assassin vs Dawnbreaker matchup is a key factor in this draft — Nyx Assassin carries a +286 statistical edge over Dawnbreaker, making it one of the strongest individual counters on the board.
Conversely, Tinker faces an uphill battle against Anti-Mage (-341). This problematic matchup could become a focal point — if Team helm cannot find rotations to mitigate it, Team Razer will look to exploit it relentlessly.
