In July of this year in Cologne at IEM Cologne 2021, Spirit and Heroic gave out a simply fiery match of three cards, the desider of which reached the dops, where the Danes were stronger. In less than six weeks, both teams will come face to face again. If Heroic has seen progress, they simply destroyed the record outsider of the Bad News Bears group without spending much effort, then the Russians had to sweat a lot in the match against Astralis, who, by the way, played with a substitute. And if at its peak on Dust2 everything was fabulous for the CIS team and the Danes made a lot of mistakes themselves, giving away rounds, then the situation changed dramatically on Inferno. It is understandable – for Spirit, despite a solid wagering, Inferno is the worst map of mappul, not counting Vertigo, which the team does not favor in principle.
However, it is the Inferno of Heroic that is even worse than that of the Russians, so there is pure randomness. But it is clear that the Danes will play Nuke – already a proven peak, the Russians should answer either Dust2 or Mirage, depending on what goes into the ban first. But then we will be waiting for a very interesting desider, as many of you have already guessed.
The most reliable bet in the match will be the victory of the Russian team on cards with a handicap (+1.5) – a bread coefficient of 1.40. And then there is a proven meat grinder, in which we are very likely not to lose. On both cards, we bet on the victory of Spirit with a handicap (-1.5) at odds of 2.20 and 2.43. We divide the percentage of the pot in half. Even with one card in favor of the Russians – we will remain in a good total plus.
