FURIA
The unexpected defeat of the Brazilians in the match against Monte (7:16) actually left them no chance of misfiring, since winning three matches in a long time for them – not the most stable – is a very difficult task that cannot be realized without courage and positive emotions.
The top Brazilian team started the tournament by underestimating the opponent, deciding to play according to the information that they had from the moment of the candidates stage, at which Monte was noted as a sensation. This should not happen again, but Brazilians never play consistently and may well surprise their fans again, so it's worth preparing for this.
The fate of the next match will depend on the game of saffee and yuurih, who completely failed the first meeting, but definitely definitely want to rehabilitate themselves.
Ninjas in Pyjamas
NIP lost to Fnatic in the face-to-face confrontation on the Nuke map with a score of 11:16. The team showed a good CS, but at the crucial moment, NIP's performance skills misfired. All members of the team in the first half of the match showed a very good performance, getting a loose minimum, but they could not resist the opponent in defense.
In the second match, the opponent and the Europeans are not the easiest, they will have to be ready for a quick and provocative style of play, which poses a rather serious question for them. However, there will be one positive moment on the NIP side – they are very well chosen from psychological pits, which is not available to Brazilians.
Bet
The most interesting bets will be the victory of NIP. And the victory of the NIP in rounds with a handicap (+2.5).
