After that, 9z on the Nuke map outplayed another Imperial team in a very hard struggle, this meeting ended with a score of 22:20. And yesterday, in a game of the VO3 9z format, Evil Geniuses from the USA lost on three maps on three maps – 5:16 Overpass (the opponent's peak); 16:11 Dust2 and 13:16 Mirage. At the same time, it is worth noting that on the Overpass 9z map, only two rounds were taken for the defense side in the first half.
ForecastIn this match, 9z is considered by bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite, however, we believe that this team is overrated and it is quite possible to bet on ATK's victory here.
