Sharks and FURIA Academy will meet in one of the matches of the first round of the BLAST Rising 2021 Latin America group stage. Who will start with a victory?
Sharks
In early October, the sharks took second place at IEM Fall 2021 South America, and after that their game fell apart, and it still does not work out. In the next four tournaments, the Sharks shooters performed disgustingly, at best finishing in 5-8 places, as it was in the framework of the Exeedme Revolution 2021. And in addition, there were 9-12 places at the ESL Pro League Season 15 Conference, 9-16 at Malta Vibes Knockout Series 3 and 15-16 at PGL Major Stockholm 2021.
FURIA Academy
Even worse are the young guys from FURIA Academy, whose last tournament was the Liga Gamers Club 2021 Serie A November Cup. On it, the Panthers took third place, having won one victory in two matches. And before that, they left the tournaments after 1-2 matches, in each of which they lost. In total, the guys from FURIA Academy lost in nine matches in a row, having managed to pick up only two cards during this time.
Forecast
The Sharks team is more experienced, but it is unlikely that this will significantly help in the reporting match, since the level of play is very low. FURIA Academy is also far from ideal, so you don't have to hope for an easy walk. It is impossible to single out a favorite, since both teams are playing very, very poorly, but it seems to me that it is worth betting that there will be a third card. They have to pick up their peaks, though not without difficulty.
