BIG ranked #33 from Germany is clashing against team KPI ranked #85 from Spain in the WESG 2019 Central Europe & Iberia Closed Qualifier that has eight teams competing for the prize pool of 1 spot at WESG 2019. This tournament is played online, and this is the best of 3 upper brackets final type of match.

During October, they played 26 maps and won 13, converted, they played ten games and won four. In September, they played four maps only and won two, converted, they played two games and won one.

KPI played four maps in December and won all four, converted, they played two matches and won both. In November, they played two maps and lost both of them.

OK, so WESG man, this tournament is a BEAST. So far BIG played against Brute and won 2-0 (16-14 on Nuke, and 16-10 on Mirage), then they played against Sprout and won 2-0 (16-1 WOW on Nuke, and 16-11 on Mirage). While KPI played against OFFSET and won 2-0 (16-13 on Dust2, and 16-11 on Nuke), then also after that, they defeated Owned with 2-0 (16-11 on Nuke, and 16-9 on Train). Both teams performed well in this tourney, but the odds favor BIG heavily because of their experience and good map score in recent games + they have XANTARES and smooya. I simply cannot see how BIG loses this.

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