The European teams KOI and G2 will play against each other in the quarterfinals of the upper bracket of Group B at the ESL Pro League Season 20 LAN tournament, which takes place in Malta.
KOI
The European team failed to qualify for the Major in Shanghai before coming to Malta. KOI went well at first in the closed European qualification, but then lost three consecutive matches for entering the LAN qualifiers. On August 23, KOI lost two matches at once. At first, the guys lost on three maps to the modest Czech UNiTY team – 13:11 Anubis (the opponent's peak); 17:19 Nuke and 5:13 Ancient.
In the evening, in the decisive match for the exit to Europe RMR KOI played unsuccessfully again and this time they lost to the Danish TSM team on two maps – 9:13 Mirage (the opponent's peak) and 11:13 Nuke.
G2
This European team, which has a higher class, last played on August 16. G2 did not play particularly well at IEM Cologne and only reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to another European team MOUZ on two maps – 9:13 Dust2 (their peak) and 8:13 Mirage.
Forecast
In this match, G2 is, of course, considered by the bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite. With a competent peak of cards and the mood of G2, it is quite possible to win a very confident victory, we suggest you take a chance and put G2 -10.5 rounds ahead.
