Clearly, AVANGAR has seen some progress during the last few months, but i just can not bet against Virtus.pro, they are way more experienced and this is a perfect chance to take the first place and get that ticket. The prize pool is nothing for them, so i think they will aim for that ticket.

My bet will be a win for Virtus.pro!
