Imperial was first in Group B with two matches played and two wins, a round difference of +20 and six points. Kinguin was second in Group A with three matches played two wins, one loss and round difference of +17 and six points. The winner of this match will play against the winner of Valiance vs. Windigo. Team Imperial is first as a top team in this tournament with 1,34 rating on two maps; their best players are EspiranTo with 1,45 rating, nexa 1,41 rating, TENZKI 1,40, and kRYSTAL 1,29 rating. The Kinguin is 4th with 1,11 rating on four maps; their best player is mouz with 1,32 rating. Most-played maps on this tournament are Train x4, Inferno x3, Nuke x3, Mirage x3, Cache x1, and Overpass x1, so this benefits both teams equally. These two teams played once and team Imperial won 2-0, Cobblestone was 16-8 and Inferno 16-6 in March thi year.

My prediction here is a win for team Imperial, they are just better at this moment, and after kRYSTAL signed for them, he is playing like a beast, and also their other players are in good form, but Kinguin will win one map so i believe this will end in a 2-1 .

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