Last 25 games for Nexus: They won 14 matches and had a win ratio of 56% and average opponent rank of #146,96.

So the winner of this matchup will play against the winner of Valiance vs. Nordavind, no doubt that will be Valiance so both Nexus and Fragsters will have a strong opponent in the next stage of the tournament. My personal opinion is that Nexus will lose today. So Fragsters had a good run with wins in the previous games, but at the moment they are stopped and are lacking in tournaments, They lost to Valiance in DH Open, Then lost to Alternate Attax fo ESL One Cologne and yesterday they lost to Windigo in the x-bet tournament, so basically they must win today. Nexus played a fair amount of games in April, but they just cannot manage to win something or create an excellent opportunity for them. These two teams met four times and it is a tie score 2-2.

My bet is a win for Fragsters. Maybe it goes in under 2,5 maps, but since they lost last few games, i will just bet on a definite win.

Good luck to all who bet, and don't forget to gamble responsibly!
