  • Own a 7-0 map record over Mythic coming into this match (-1420 on money line)
  • Mythic has secured more than 8-round wins in any of the seven maps played just twice.

LIQUID VS T1 (TL -715 on money line):

  • T1 is actually quite the above average lower-tier team. These two faced off in the DreamHack Open Summer event and TL rolled them 16-5 on Inferno and 16-12 on Dust2. T1 has won all five of their previous five matches, again, all lower-tier opponents. TL is on a 2-match losing skid as well coming into this one.

  • For T1 over last month (12 maps), top performer has been pesadelo with 1.31 Rating, 0.82 KPR, 0.61 DPR, 1.33 IMP, 87.3 ADR. B4rtiN is right on his heels at 1.30 Rating, 0.82 KPR, 0.59 DPR!, 1.36 IMP, and 86.6 ADR. Next, prt at 1.22, malbsMd at 1.21, and Maluk3 at 1.17. (Note level of competition)

 

FURIA VS TRIUMPH (FURIA -900 on Money Line):

  • FURIA owns a 4-1 map record over Triumph and wins in their only two recent matches. Last match was FUR sweep 16-2 on Inferno and 16-13 on Train.
  • Triumph did get Curry back for their last match, and he was one of their original core.
  • KSCERATO leads FUR in H2H numbers vs TRI with a +31 K-D diff, 1.31 K-D, 1.17 Rating, with arT (best numbers against any team for 2020 so far) next at +21 K-D Diff, 1.16 K-D, and 1.28 Rating
  • Once again, Junior only TRI player with positive numbers against FUR with a +11 K-D Diff, 1.14 K-D, and 1.08 Rating.
  • KSCERATO has been damn good lately, 10+ assists in his last four of five, less than 26 deaths in last three-straight, two 1v2 clutches and two 4K kill rounds in his last five.

 

Rebirth vs ImPerium (REB -435 on Money Line):

  • ImPerium is BAD
  • ImPerium has only won 5 or less rounds on three of their last five best of one maps
  • Retchy is an interesting value capt if you are stacking Rebirth. Put up 53.5 DK fantasy points yesterday against FUR in a 0-2 loss with 45 kills, three assists, 40 deaths, four first kills, one 1v2 clutch, and one 5K kill round. He led the team, and he is the cheapest priced player on their team today.
