Flash, and Virtus.pro, and that is not a competition Valiance or Windigo, cannot defeat so this match will be a finale before the finale. Both Valiance and Windigo came from the closed qualifier. Valiance is the second top team in this tournament with 1,27 rating on two maps. Their best players are Impulse who is also the first best player so far with 1,50 rating on two maps, and Emi who is 7th with 1,31 rating on two maps. Windigo Gaming is the 3rd top team with 1,12 rating on five maps; their best player is SHiPZ with 1,33 rating on five maps. The addition of a new and fresh coach to Valiance has proven to be a good choice, kassad has been a significant impact in the coaching world, working for numerous teams, his last team was Renegades, and this was their best year so far. So looking at previous matches for Valiance he has helped them to stop the losing streak and win against teams like Kinguin, Nao Tem Como, and Pride. The biggest reason why i believe Valiance can win today is because Windigo benched SPELLAN a few days ago. V1c7oR will take the in-game leadership, and this is a huge blow for them, regarding the team performance, tactical side and shooting skills of individual players, especially SPELLAN. But, still even though they have benched him they managed to win last two games, so they still are a force to be feared. As i said before, Windigo has dominated Valiance in the previous games, winning 16 maps, while Valiance won only 6. In the last six maps, Windigo won, last three games to convert.

But today i think that will stop, i believe Valiance can win this 2-1.

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