H2H Data:

  • These rosters have never faced each other.

Prediction/Narrative: Into the Breach wins 2-0.

Neither of these teams have played at this event so far as both are already facing elimination. AGO have really been getting outclassed though, and they are currently the worst team at the tournament in terms of Team Rating (0.81) and Team K/D Ratio (0.77) across four maps played. I don’t have overwhelming confidence in Into the Breach as a heavy favorite, but smooya is as consistent of a fragger as there is with a 1.29 Rating and 0.85 Kills Per Round in the past three months. ITB also have a solid map pool with at least a 50% win rate on Vertigo, Nuke, Inferno, and Mirage in the past three months, and I think they will find a way to come out on top against an AGO roster that continues to struggle. This should be a sweep so long as Into the Breach perform at least decent. 

  • smooya leads Into the Breach at this event with a 1.13 K/D ratio across four maps played.
  • Adam9130 leads Into the Breach at this event with 0.12 opening kills per round across four maps played.

SINNERS (World rank: #41) vs. Enterprise (World rank: #67) – 9:00 A.M. ET

Moneyline Odds: SINNERS (-115) | Enterprise (-105)

Map Handicap: SINNERS -1.5 (+245) | Enterprise +1.5 (-310)

  • This is an online best-of-three series for Elisa Invitational Spring 2022 – Swiss Round 3 (Teams with a 1-1 record).
  • SINNERS - Rating at event: forsyy 1.22 | beastik 1.04 | SHOCK 1.00 | ZEDKO 0.91 | Tomkeejs 0.73
  • SINNERS - Rating past three months: forsyy 1.17 | SHOCK 0.98 | beastik 0.97 | ZEDKO 0.96 | Tomkeejs 0.70
  • Enterprise - Rating at event: Blytz 1.31 | h4rn 1.20 | The eLiVe 0.99 | manguss 0.98 | stinx 0.90
  • Enterprise - Rating past three months: h4rn 1.28 | manguss 1.07 | Blytz 1.05 | The eLiVe 1.03 | stinx 0.99

H2H Data:

  • These rosters have never faced each other. The teams did face in April prior to Enterprise switching around their roster and SINNERS won 2-0 (16-7 Ancient / 16-7 Nuke). Forsyy dominated the server with 52 kills and a 1.67 Rating across two maps played.

Prediction/Narrative: Enterprise wins 2-1.

The former star rifler for SINNERS, NEOFRAG, signed with OG, which means SINNERS are currently playing with their coach, Tomkeejs, as a stand-in. Tomkeejs has struggled with a 0.70 Rating and 0.69 K/D ratio across seven maps played so far. SINNERS have managed a 4-3 W/L record during that time, but we really can’t expect much from Tomkeejs or this team for the time being. Meanwhile, ENTERPRISE’s new roster has looked legit to this point, particularly h4rn, who leads his team with a 1.28 Rating and 1.49 K/D ratio across 18 maps played. ENTERPRISE have managed a 12-6 W/L record with this lineup. They’ve taken down Apeks in a best-of-three, and they played two close series against ECSTATIC, so they have proven themselves amongst the top tier two teams. ENTERPRISE are currently the fifth highest-rated team at the event with a 1.08 Team Rating, which puts them ahead of SINNERS, who have a 1.05 Team Rating thus far. The map pool looks solid on paper for ENTERPRISE as well. They are 6-0 on Inferno, 3-1 on Nuke, and 2-1 on Mirage. I think ENTERPRISE should be the favorite here with all things considered, so I am more than happy to back them at even money.

  • Blytz leads ENTERPRISE at this event with a 1.31 Rating, while h4rn leads with a 1.23 K/D ratio across five maps played.
  • Blytz leads ENTERPRISE at this event with 0.18 opening kills per round across five maps played.

Sprout (World rank: #30) vs. Finest (World rank: #29) – 12:00 P.M. ET

Moneyline Odds: Sprout (-125) | Finest (+105)

Map Handicap: Sprout -1.5 (+225) | Finest +1.5 (-285)

  • This is an online best-of-three series for Elisa Invitational Spring 2022 – Swiss Round 3 (Teams with a 2-0 record). Winner advances to playoffs.
  • Sprout - Rating at event: lauNX 1.20 | Staehr 1.14 | slaxz- 1.10 | Spiidi 0.90 | raalz 0.85
  • Sprout - Rating past three months: lauNX 1.15 | Staehr  1.11 | slaxz- 1.09 | Spiidi 1.01 | raalz 0.91
  • Finest - Rating at event: anarkez 1.29 | shokz 1.27 | PlesseN 1.23 | twist 1.12 | kreaz 1.08
  • Finest - Rating past three months: anarkez 1.11 | shokz 1.08 | PlesseN 1.07 | kreaz 1.05 | twist 1.02

H2H Data:

  • These rosters have never faced each other. The teams faced earlier in January, but both rosters have changed since. Sprout won that series 2-0 (16-10 Overpass / 16-8 Vertigo).

Prediction/Narrative: Finest wins 2-1.

Sprout have been rolling, but Finest have also been on fire, so both of these teams are playing good Counter-Strike right now. Finest lead the event in Team Rating (1.20) and Team K/D Ratio (1/30) and they will look to continue their six series win streak on Tuesday. Finest have a 35-27 W/L record across 62 maps played with this roster, and they have taken down Spirit, Movistar Riders, and Eternal Fire in recent weeks. They have a deep map pool with at least a 63.6% win rate on Dust2, Inferno, Mirage, and Nuke in the past three months, plus they have a winning record on their most played map, Vertigo. Sprout are on a four series win streak of their own after their comeback win against SKADE on Monday, and their lineup has a 25-11 W/L record across 36 maps played since adding lauNX. Both teams are playing so well that I don’t want to count either of them out, but Finest do appear to be the slight favorite on paper, and I expect them to win out in a tight best-of-three.

  • shokz leads Finest at this event with a 1.57 K/D ratio across six maps played.
  • PlesseN leads Finest at this event with 0.13 opening kills per round across six maps played.
