Form OpTic Gaming

The team finished the group stage as a favorite, in first place in the table. In the first match, OpTic players met with the Indonesians from BOOM Esports, and despite all the advantages, the confrontation did not end dry. After 10 additional rounds, the team lost the choice of opponents to Breeze (18-16), after which they easily closed the two remaining cards Bind (13-5), Fracture (13-3). In the next match, the formidable Brazilian tops LOUD were waiting for them, but despite 3 maps, the team managed to overcome them with Breeze (7-13), Fracture (13-10), Pearl (13-3).

After getting into the playoffs, the team met with Team Liquid, and again the match stretched over three maps. Having lost the choice of Horses to Breeze (13-7), OpTic Gaming snatched victory on the two remaining maps Bind (13-8), Ascent (13-8), and thus secured a place in the semi-finals.

Xset form

Like future rivals, the team finished the group stage in 1st place in the table. XSET players played their first match against the representatives of Thailand - XERXIA, and expectedly won the victory of Fracture (13-11), Icebox (13-10). In the next match, European tops from FunPlus Phoenix were waiting for them, and despite the fact that the meeting dragged on for 3 maps, it was rather boring. XSET easily took their pick of Pearl (13-7), easily gave away the pick of the opponents to Fracture (4-13), and just as easily took the last map of Breeze (13-5).

After getting into the playoffs, the team was expected by another representative of Europe - Fnatic, and the conversation with them was short. Having won on their own map Pearl (13-8) with almost a twofold advantage, the team barely coped with the Orange Fracture map (13-11). Thanks to the victory, XSET secured a place in the semi-finals of the upper bracket.

Match prediction

The match should certainly be interesting, but with an obvious favorite. Despite the fact that both teams came out from the first place in their groups, OpTic Gaming is still stronger than XSET. This is evidenced by the statistics of achievements, the first have 1st and 3rd places in the Masters, in turn, the second have only once visited Copenhagen, from where they flew out in 7-8th place. In addition, the history of the meetings speaks for itself, I am sure that after this match OpTic Gaming will get the fourth victory, in the treasury of confrontations.

Outcome: victory for OpTic Gaming
