Espada (Ranked 32nd in World) @ Nexus (Ranked 40th in World):

Betting Odds: Espada -330/Nexus +225

Map Odds: N/A

*This is the Swiss Round 2 (teams with a 1-0 Record)

*Espada is fresh off a win in their most recent match and have won four of their last five matches with their only loss coming to Gambit two matches ago. Nexus have won three of their last five matches and two of their last three. They lost both matches played against SKADE in that 5-match span. (*Note – Nexus playing with stand-in mhN1 instead of ragga)

*These two have no prior head-to-head history for recent play.

MAPS:

*The first two ban maps for this match include Vertigo and Nuke. Both teams have chosen Mirage as a first map choice lately, so we can likely write that one in. The secondary maps for these two include Dust2 and Train. I truly think this depends on who gets the first map choice, but I think there is a better probability that we see Dust2 (Espada has won all 11 of their last 11 here by the way) and Mirage.

*This is also a Swiss round 2 (Teams with a 1-0 record)

*Galaxy Racer were winners in their most recent match by a 2-1 result over SJ and have won three of their last four. K23 were also winners in their most recent match, a 2-0 sweep over LDLC, but they had dropped three of their prior four before the sweep.

MAPS:

*The first ban maps for these two teams include Nuke and Vertigo. Another instance where both teams are picking the same map for their first map choice lately and that is Overpass, so we can pencil that one in. The secondary maps include Inferno and Mirage. This one will be a bit trickier, because I could easily see both teams go different routes depending on who gets the first map choice. I am going to say that we definitely see Overpass, but I could see the other map being either Inferno again, or Train. I am going to list the stats for Overpass, but not going to list the others as I don’t like putting swaying information that may not be correct.

*ALT aTTax is fresh off a win over Project X to start this Event and have won two in a row after dropping their previous three-straight. PACT is also fresh off a 2-1 result over SKADE, and have won four of their last five, only dropped a best of one map of Train to Invictus Int in OT with a score of 19-17.

MAPS:

*The first two ban maps for this match will include Nuke and Mirage. The first two typical map choices for these two teams lately has been Inferno for PACT (four-map win streak here lately) and Vertigo for ALT aTT. I see no reason why we wouldn’t see these two maps.

*ALT aTT on Vertigo (8 Maps): slaxz- 1.15 Rating, 0.76 KPR, 1.07 IMP, 74.1 ADR. stfN 1.14 Rating, kressy 1.05 Rating, mirbit 0.98 Rating, ScrunK 0.68 Rating.

SG.pro (Ranked 96th in World) @ Copenhagen Flames (Ranked 49th in World):

Betting Odds: Flames -150/SG.pro +125

Map Odds: N/A

*Final Swiss Round 2 match (Teams with 1-0 Record)

*Both of these teams come into this one in good form as SG.pro have won two-straight and three of their last four including wins over Heretics, GamerLegion and LowLandLions, and their only loss in their last four was to PACT. The Flames have won three-straight and four of their last five as well with their only loss being a 2-1 heart-breaker to Sprout.

*There has been no previous head-to-head history recently for these two teams

MAPS:

*The first two ban maps for this match will include Dust2 and Inferno. The two typical first maps chosen lately for these two include Train for SG.pro and Overpass (6-map win streak) for Copenhagen Flames. It would make sense for SG to ban Overpass, but they are banning Inferno 96% lately and I doubt they move off of such a high result. I think we see these two maps.
