Dusty surprised everyone by becoming the NLC champion. Even though the level of competition has decreased there this year, it is still a solid result. The team's performance isn't always perfect, but working on the map view repeatedly helps them to gain advantageous positions in team battles.
GameWard looks stronger in another way: the approach to hero selection stage sets them apart from all other teams in the tournament. The level of the coaching staff here is not inferior to that of the top teams and sometimes even superior. However, the players do not always realize the ideas of the coaches, making stupid mistakes during the lane phase.
Without an advantage in the early stage of the game, GameWard cannot be considered as significant favorites of the meeting. If Dusty doesn't fail the draft, they'll get their chance to win.
Our prediction: Dusty to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.63
