Few people could predict EG's getting into the upper bracket of the competition, but the team conducted a quality preparation for the start. The team was especially good in games with Shadow Fiend, who rarely got blocked at the draft stage. In the playoffs, he is likely to get blocked a lot, as Arteezy has already shown his high level of performance on this hero.
Thunder Awaken is the record-breaker of the number of draws in bo2 confrontations at international competitions. The reason for this is simple - the team is very diverse at the draft stage, where their risk is justified about once during the series, so we can often see situations when they win comfortably in one of the maps, and heavily lose in the other.
It is the diversity in drafts that makes Thunder Awaken an uncomfortable opponent. We expect the Peruvian roster to win at least one of the maps.
Our prediction: Thunder Awaken to take at least 1 map. We recommend the “2 Hand (+1.5)” bet, odds 1.94
