Tip for the match:
JiJieHao +6.5 Handicap
Odds: 1.80 at Kambi – 1.5/5 units on it
In my opinion this could be a very interesting BO1 match. Sachi is by far the best team if we look at the time played together and their team play. As well as their results. It is the same time a Bo1 match where surprises can occur. Most of the way it could be a very equal match.
Arguments for playing the tip:
– This is a Bo1 match. This Bo1-format is an advantage for the small teams. We often see surprises in these matches.
– I’ve chosen a little safer variant with + handicap. I’ve given JiJieHao 6.5 rounds in advance. I’ll be surprised if JiJieHao wouldn’t win 7 rounds.
– JiJieHao has a lot of firepower and enough quality to challenge Sashi. JiJiHao is a smart team with a lot of experience. Again, it will only take JiJieHao 7 rounds for us to win the tip. JiJieHao has both the experience and individually class to challenge Sashi.
– Sashi still has a bottom level that needs to improve if they want to be one of the big boys. Sashi has already shown that they can be knock out of course this season.
– It’s the first match of the day. If Sashi isn’t ready from the start, the rounds will quickly fly by. There can be upsets in BO1 matches. I’ll bet my money on the possibility of that happening in this match. The nerves must be steady.
Arguments against playing the tip:
– Sashi is overall the best team. They’ve played more matches together and are individually a better team. Sashi must win. It will be a surprise of the year if JiJieHao wins.
-Sashi looked amazing against Mouz. A match where they won a map and pushed Mouz to show their A-game.
– JiJieHao hasn’t played a match in several weeks. It’s a team out of shape and it’s a plus for the match.
– the individual power on JiJieHao must be rusty. Again, they’ve played very little together. A bad start can give JiJieHao a match full of nightmares.
– Sashi can do whatever they want in the veto. There aren’t many maps they won’t play. They are capable of challenging JiJieHao on a more technical map.
