ViCi played two games in March, and they won both. In February they played 12 maps and won seven, converted, they played seven matches and won three. During January they played 20 maps and won 11, in other words, they played 11 games and won five.

TyLoo played only a handful matches in the last three months. In March they played five maps and won four, in other words they played two matches and won both. In February they played nine maps and won only three, converted, they played five games and won two.

OK, so basically we have only Chinese teams here, and it was pretty obvious who will reach the final match. Now since there is the lower bracket and the championship bracket, it can be tricky to predict these matches, since even if a Tier 1 team loses against Tier 3 team, they can redeem themselves and win later matches. So far ViCi have won against 8EASY 2-0, and then they won against 5POWER 2-0, while TYLOO won against Aster 2-0, and then 2-1 against team Panda.

I believe that ViCi can win today, but it is a risky bet, so i will go with them getting the +1,5 handicap.

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