Fate @ Nexus:

Betting Odds: Nexus -185/FATE +140

Map Odds: 2.5 Over +110/Under -150

*This is an upper bracket quarter-final match for this Event.

*Neither team has been great lately, FATE and Nexus both on two-match losing skids in their prior two matches. FATE have won two of their last four with best of one wins over AVEZ and Secret before losing their last two, while Nexus beat this same FATE team five matches ago 16-9 on Train and beat OPAA 19-16 for their only two wins over their last five matches. (*note – blocker and mar are not with FATE as a part of their core, as  I believe blocker stepped down a while back, and mar may just not be with team at moment. Can tell this affected them lately)

Espada @ AGO:

Betting Odds: Espada -300/AGO +220

Map Odds: 2.5 Over +125/Under -170

*This is also an upper bracket quarter-final match for this Event

*Espada has won four of their last five matches, however they lost their most recent match 0-2 to VPro, but nice wins over GODSENT 2-0, AGF 2-1 and 2-0, and Apeks 2-1 in those four wins prior to the loss. AGO is on a rough skid, only winning one of their last four matches. The win was a 2-0 sweep over HAVU, but losses to PACT, AVEZ, AGF, and Secret are not great looks. (New faces for AGO – leman and DGL)
