In the next match of the 3rd round of the first round of PGL Major Stockholm 2021, paiN Gaming and Sharks Esports will come face to face. Which of the Brazilian teams will leave the tournament?
paiN Gaming
The shooters from paiN Gaming lost in the two opening rounds and were on the verge of relegation from the Major. But this is the very case when Brazilians can rely on bad luck, because in both games they could well achieve victory, but at crucial moments luck turned away from them. In the first round, paiN Gaming lost to Virtus.Pro with a score of 14-16, and Renegades lost in the second with the same result. In the first case, there was an Inferno card, and in the second - a Nuke.
Sharks Esports
The Sharks are expected to have two defeats after two matches and can hardly count on the first victory, as they are the main outsiders of the first stage, which is fully confirmed by the results. If in the game of the second round, the shooters from Sharks Esports were able to resist TyLoo and lost with a score of 14-16, then in the first match they could not oppose anything to the opponents from MOUZ, gaining only six rounds.
Forecast
It's hard to believe that paiN Gaming will make a comeback and make it to the second stage with 3-2 statistics, but it is obliged to win the first victory and stay in the first stage at least until the fourth round.
