H2H Data:

  • These rosters have never faced each other.   

Prediction/Narrative: MASONIC wins 2-0.

777 beat MASONIC when they played a few months ago, but 777 have since changed their lineup, and their new roster has only played a total of eight maps together. 777 look good on Overpass so far with a 2-0 record, but that map is where MASONIC have one of their best win rates with a 6-3 W/L record across nine maps played in the past three months. MASONIC have continued to be one of the more consistent lower tier teams, and they have a 48-33 W/L record across 81 maps played in the past three months. MASONIC have a 1.01 Team Rating at this event compared to 0.94 for 777, and I think MASONIC are the clear better team at the moment. We have only seen a limited amount of 777’s map pool, but MASONIC look to have a clear advantage in terms of the maps, so a sweep certainly seems possible here for the Danes. 

  • J3nsyy is the only member of MASONIC with a positive K/D ratio at this event (1.08).
  • J3nsyy leads MASONIC with 0.17 kills per round at this event.

H2H Data:

  • These rosters have never faced each other.

Prediction/Narrative: EC KYIV wins 2-1.

AGO have continued to shift their lineup around, and we have only seen them play two maps total with this roster since losing their star rifler, F1KU. EC Kyiv have had mixed results in recent months, but they have also beaten Fnatic, Copenhagen Flames, and SKADE in the past three months, so they have had their fair share of strong performances mixed in as well. EC Kyiv have a 30-18 W/L record on Inferno and 22-13 W/L record on Dust2 all-time with this lineup, so those maps stand out as two of their strongest. However, there are some weaknesses in their map pool that AGO could certainly exploit. I don’t have much faith in AGO here given the lack of match history for their lineup, but I do give them credit to take a map here and make this a close series. EC Kyiv have a 1.04 Team Rating at this event compared to 0.94 for AGO, and I expect the Ukrainians to get the win in this spot.

  • s4tovsk1yy leads EC Kyiv with a 1.23 K/D ratio across eight maps played at this event.
  • s4tovsk1yy leads EC Kyiv with 0.14 opening kills per round at this event.
