The collectives have never played with each other since the moment the new roster of  OpTic Gaming was completed as it happened approximately one month ago.

OpTic Gaming completely formed their new roster on 24 May and this championship is the first LAN final for the guys. At the moment the roster hold the 42 position in the world rating according to HLTV, and this championship resulted in the defeat of 03:16 over Astralis and the win of 2:0 over NiP for the roster.

Space Soldiers now hold the 17 position in the rating of the best teams according to HLTV. The collective got to the championship with a substitute - DESPE is playing instead of Calyx who couldn’t visit the USA due to the visa problems. At the final stage of ESL Pro League, the roster managed to win over Renegades by the score of 16:07 but at the match against Team Liquid, the guys from North America turned out to be stronger.

The bookmakers think that OpTic Gaming are the favourites of the meeting and set the coefficient of their win of 1.65, while Space Soldiers’ triumph is evaluated as 2.3. We think that in general the Turkish team look more interesting than their opponents, but taking into account the fact that they play with the substitute, we lean toward cajunb and Co.
