OK, so this tournament has a lot of teams but such a small prize pool, so no wonder a lot of matches were suspicious. The winner here will advance to clash against the winner of Winstrike VS AVEZ. The odds heavily favor team CPF since they are ranked better and since they are on an amazing win streak from the middle of January, and of course because they won against SKADE in October 2k19 with 2-0 (22-19 on Nuke, and 16-10 on Train). The thing i don't like is that both teams tend to give up a lot of rounds to the opposing team, in most of the recent games it is 10+ rounds, so this may wery well go in over 2,5 maps for sure.

But, i will go with CPF because they really look more favorable, and i think this Danish org is aiming for that main event ticket.

Good luck to all who bet, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
