HEET VS SANGAL

HEET is a crazy good team. Surprised they lost 4 matches in a row... by like a couple rounds.

HEET:

Ranking 48th in the world, this team is one of the better Tier 2 teams and is able to defeat top teams like OG, Eternal Fire, Forze and came incredibly close to closing the game out against Gamerlegion, Monte and Aurora losing 1-2 in all 3 games.

Individuals and team play all is great (better than sangal based off results) and all but the main PROBLEM is that they ALWAYS choke during the last few rounds. Not sure how they do it but its been really unlucky for em.

 

SANGAL:

Ranking 43rd, they're pretty solid and consistent as a team. Currently rocking a 50% winrate, they're playing against weaker teams compared to HEET. During their last 5 matches, they defeated MASONIC, ENDPOINT and Benched heroes. Losing to Nexus, iNation and ex-Finest.

 

MY PREDICTION:

HEET @ 

Although they have no H2H matches, HEET overall is better in many areas including players, teamwork and defense. On paper - HEET wins

THESIS: their lose streak ends now for heet so bet on them.

Fulham has gained momentum and has not lost five matches in a row. Moreover, Silva's wards approach the upcoming confrontation with a series of three victories with a total score of 6:2, two of which are in the championship (2:0 with Nottingham Forest and 1:0 with Brighton). A positive point is that the “cottagers" have learned to get victories without Mitrovic's goals. However, Mitrovic himself only scored an assist in six games.

Wolverhampton failed to continue the winning performance, which included two matches with a total score of 5:1. In the last confrontation, Wolves unexpectedly lost to Bournemouth on the home field with a score of 0:1. Lopetegui's wards demonstrated great attacking football, but let down the accuracy and implementation – out of 15 shots on goal, only four went on target. It is worth highlighting the game of Adam Traore – the forward did a lot of work and repeatedly gave out a powerful cross on the flank.

 My bet: Fulham to win with 2.370 odds

1. Stan Wawrinka defeated Richard Gasquet in the second round. Stan broke the power of the Gasquet in three sets (4-6, 7-5, 6-2).

2. During the game, Wawrinka completed 13 aces, made two double faults and converted four out of six break points. In the first round, Wawrinka outplayed Zizo Bergs. He also beat him in three games (6-4, 6-7, 6-4). 

3. Arthur Fils advanced to the quarterfinals of the home competition without a fight. As part of the second round, Arthur was supposed to meet with Yannick Sinner, but the Italian did not come out for the game, citing an injury.

4. In the first round, he defeated Roman Safiullin (6-4, 6-3). In total, Fils has 13 wins on the indoor court this season, with just two losses. 

Bet: Arthur Fils win

Odd: 2.35

paiN impresses me a lot lately, the team is getting stronger and stronger with each match, they went to the pmr without any problems and, in principle, they have been showing a stable game for a long time and currently have 5 wins in 5 matches, against pretty weak teams .
Detonate was not a bad line-up, but spot replacements ruined everything and now it's a regular, unstable team that plays very poorly at times. As for the match itself, I expect 2:1 from paiN and nothing else, the team is now at the peak of its form and destroys everyone in its path, plus the mappools are identical and should not be a problem. But since it’s impossible to bet on the exact score here according to the rules, so we’ll just bet on the total over 24.5.

The Cavaliers had a great run before the All-Star Game weekend break, winning seven straight games and only losing in the away game against Philadelphia. Also, against the 76ers, Cleveland almost claimed the victory, recovering a 28-point deficit during the game: 112:118.

Overall, it is worth noting that JB Bickerstaff's team has undoubtedly become stronger than last season. Cleveland's have added up on defense - it's no coincidence that they are the best defensive team of the season - and on offense, the Cavs are now led by Donovan Mitchell, one of the best scorers in today's NBA.

The Nuggets also had an excellent run before the championship break: seven wins in nine games, even over such strong opponents as Golden State, Miami and Dallas. However, throughout the season, Michael Malone's team is performing well, leading, we repeat, the Western Conference standings.

The main strength of the current Denver team is its offensive play. The team is scoring 117.1 points per game, ranking a high sixth in offensive efficiency rating.

Let's go for the visitor's win, Denvers win at odds 2.20

Best of luck to all.

I expect a tight game from the Turks Eternal Fire, they should not yield to the fnatics, most likely we will see 3 maps here and decide on the last one, I can’t give preference to one of the teams, because, as for me, the level is currently equal. Looking at the odds, fnatic is the favorite, I would not say so of course, but a little yes, they will be more stable. Yes, the Turks Eternal Fore are now in their best shape, so at their peak they can beat Fnatic, but Fnatic is also not bad, they fought against vp today, they almost managed to pick up the map, but it was almost enough. 
My betting pick will be over 2.5 maps 2.13 odds.

AINT NO WAY.

2 players on Heet are being SUBSTITUTED

GG? These two players aren't bad but if the main core isn't together, their chances of winning are much lower now!

Still, I think it's too late to change my prediction 😭
