Command Analysis

Natus Vincere

Current form 

In the previous round, NaVi lost to FURIA 1:2 in the semifinals of the upper bracket at IEM Rio on April 14. The series turned out to be like a roller coaster: Mirage — a confident 13-3 in favor of Natus Vincere, where the team literally crushed the opponent due to aggression and perfect control of the map. But then the problems started. Dust2 — complete collapse, 4-13, loss of pace, lost pistols and economic failure. The fight went on at Nuke until the very end, but in overtime FURIA put the squeeze on — 16-13. Despite the defeat, w0nderful stood out individually: stable damage, key clutches, and a 1.19 rating.

HOTU

Current form

HOTU, in turn, has already managed to surprise in the lower grid. In the first round, they passed Legacy 2-0 and did it as characteristically as possible — with comebacks, nerves and clutches. Dust2 ended 13-7: after an equal first half, HOTU completely closed the CT side, leaving no space for the opponent. Ancient became a real thriller: 5-10 during the game, a comeback, a revolution of the economy and a 16-14 victory in overtime. The main character of the series is n0rb3r7: 39 frags, 1.35 rating, ADR 82, stable exchanges and key clutches. HOTU now looks like a typical underdog in the garage — they can lose rounds in series, but if they catch a wave, they start playing perfect CS without too much fuss.

Tip and bets

TipVictory of Natus Vincere
1.16

On paper, everything is as obvious as possible: Natus Vincere is the favorite of the meeting. And not just a favorite, but a team that must go further if it plays at its level. But there is an important caveat: NaVi is too often given one card, even in winning series. HOTU, on the contrary, has already shown comeback potential and the ability to play under pressure. If it's cold to disassemble, the NaVi structure and experience should decide. But there won't be an easy walk here.

Our betting tip is the victory of Natus Vincere in 1.16
