In one of the matches of the first round of FLASHPOINT 3, Heroic and Sprout will meet. Who has the best chance of a successful start to the tournament?
Heroic
"Heroics" dropped from the second line of the world ranking to the third, while it can not be said that the results were a failure, just Natus Vincere, which pushed the Danes from the second position, performed better. In the previous two tournaments, the "Heroics" reached the semifinal stages: at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021 and DreamHack Masters Spring 2021. In the first case, we lost to Gambit (1-2), and in the second to the aforementioned Natus Vincere (1-2). Before that, the Heroic five triumphed at the ESL Pro League Season 13 tournament, with eight wins in eight games.
Sprout
The Germans made their way to the main draw of FLASHPOINT 3 thanks to the successful overcoming of closed qualifiers, during which they achieved four wins in six matches. Among those beaten are: SKADE (2-1), Tricked (2-0), Dignitas and HAVU by 2-1. But to overcome Complexity and Anonymo did not work, defeats by 1-2. But they did not prevent them from winning one of the five places to participate in FLASHPOINT 3. At the moment, Sprout is competing in the REPUBLEAGUE TIPOS Season 1 championship and is one step away from leaving the group, with a 2-2 win-loss record.
Forecast
The layouts are very clear: the Heroic team is the favorite, as it is now rightfully one of the three strongest teams in the world and claims to win every tournament. I do not think that the Germans, acting unstable, will be able to offer at least some resistance.
