In the second round of the BLAST Rising 2021 group stage, Sinners and NAVI Junior will meet. Who will leave the tournament?
Sinners
The Czech team started the tournament with a loss to Budapest Five (1-2), which surprised them considerably. The confrontation began with the map Dast 2, which was chosen by the Hungarians. The Sinners team showed a terrible attack, as a result of which they lost the side with a score of 3-12. On the defense side, it turned out to perform better, but too much was missed in the first half, so the Budapest Five easily finished four rounds. On the second map, it was again a close game, but this time the Czechs were already cheering: 16-12 on Vertigo, and the decisive game was in defense, in which Oskar and company excelled. The Mirage became the decider, and it also did not go without a fight - 12: 16 in favor of the team from Hungary, which goes to fight for entry into the playoffs, and Sinners will have to get two wins to also get out of the group.
NAVI Junior
As we said, the young "born to win" confidently pass the qualifying stages, and then look uncompetitive in the main draw. In the framework of BLAST Rising 2021, this trend was confirmed in the first match. The opponents were the Double Poney team that was gaining momentum, which did not notice its opponent: first, the NAVI Junior five lost the Train 4-16, which it chose, and after that it could not oppose the opponent at its peak, which was Inferno - 6:16. With such a game, it will be difficult to count not even on getting out of the group, but on one victory in it, as you will have to fight with the Sinners team, which will tear and throw to correct for a misfire in the match of the first round, in which it was in the role of the favorite.
Forecast
It looks like the tournament for NAVI Junior is over. Only a miracle should happen for the young "born to win" to get the better of the Czechs and play in the third match for the playoffs. I bet on Victoria Sinners with the score 2-0.
