EC Kyiv has been performing well in recent months, with solid statistics. We note the high shooting level of the team: all the participants do not sag in this regard, acting excellently in exchanges. There is currently a lack of consistent attacking play, primarily on Mirage, Dust 2 maps. However, they almost always win defensively in most of the rounds.
Skade is performing stably this year, without declines. Within ESEA Advanced, they were confident in the group of leaders throughout the season. This is not to say that the team performs particularly well on some maps, but a wide arsenal of maps allows them to feel comfortable in drafts.
It will be difficult for both teams to surprise each other in terms of draft picks. Under these circumstances, we expect the match to be much more competitive than the odds suggest.
Our prediction: EC Kyiv to take at least 1 map. We recommend the “1 Hand (+1.5)” bet, odds 1.97
