Team Imperial has played 13 maps in May and won only four, converted in games they won none. They played 45 maps in April and won 29, converted in games that is 11 wins. HellRaisers played only one game in May, yesterday and they lost to EnVyUs 3-16. In April they played 32 maps and won 19, converted in games that is 13 victories.

These teams met twice so far, and both time HellRaisers were victorious, quite convincingly. Imperial has benched Acilion at the start of May, and since then they are just dissembling in any way possible, they are losing games, testing new players, even the coach played one game for them, that is not the way to go. They had an impressive performance in April, and it is such a shame that they cannot maintain the progress. HellRaisers on the other side are also not performing as they should. They lost yesterdays game against EnVyUs 3-16, that is something that shouldn't have happened since they are a Tier 1 team and they MUST maintain their status as a professional team. So the only thing we can suspect is that something spicy is happening in the organization since they also lost to Space Soldiers in ESL Pro League, x2 against G2 and FaZe. I sincerely think they will win today; the stats are on their side even tho they are not performing as good as they used to. Imperial has too much rooster problems, and that will be the end of them for this tournament. My second bet would be HellRaisers -1,5 handicap, excellent odds but still too risky since that ugly loss against EnVyUs.

The situation is sticky so anything can happen, that is the reason why you shouldn't bet too much on this match since team Imperial can quickly take one map and make a mess.

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