SK Gaming vs Avangar

SK gaming ranked #2 from Brazil is playing against Avangar ranked #21 from Kazakhstan in the IEM Katowice 2018 with a prize pool of $500,000 and 16 teams competing.

This is a LAN tournament, and Group stage is Double-Elimination BO3 * Opening matches are BO1 * Top team from each group advances directly to the semifinals.

Playoffs are Single-Elimination BO3 * BO5 Grand Final.

This match is in three days, but stats for now are:

SK favors Overpass, Cache, and Cobble, while Avangar favors Cache, Train, and Mirage.

Pistol performance goes to SK who has 57,4% over Avangar who has 50,0%.

We all know this is a must win for SK, but the odds for them winning is around ~1,10. Too low to bet anything, and since this is a Bo1 match we all know that anything can happen.

Avangar has shown that they can be unpredictable, and since this tournament is near their boot camp, they will not have any jet lag or pressure as SK who performed poorly in the StarSeries.

My bet here is Avangar to win. Lowest bet possible. The odds are too good to miss.

Have fun!
