Match schedule for tomorrow - the second game day of PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
In this article, there will be predictions for the following matches:
Team Spirit vs. TYLOO @ BO1
BIG vs. Renegades @ BO1
ENCE against mousesports @ BO1
Movistar Riders vs. Entropiq @ BO1
Team Spirit vs. TYLOO
Probably the most unambiguous match involving teams 1: 1. Team Spirit lost to FaZe Clan, but won against GODSENT. TYLOO defeated YNG Sharks with huge problems, but lost to Heroic.
Team Spirit results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Lost in the match with FaZe Clan on Overpass with a score of 11:16
- Win the match against GODSENT on Nuke with a score of 16:12
Banned by Team Spirit
Vertigo [2]
Mirage [2]
Inferno [2]
TYLOO results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Lost in the match with Heroic on Inferno with a score of 12:16
- Win the match with YNG Sharks on Mirage with a score of 16:14
Banned TYLOO
Nuke [2]
Vertigo [2]
Dust 2
Overpass
I absolutely don't see any chances for TYLOO against Team Spirit in the BO3 format, yes, the Chinese came to the Major with one good card - Inferno and mediocre Mirage, and are trying to ban Nuke and Vertigo. Team Spirit, however, had many times stronger rivals throughout the season. “Spiritualists” banned on this Major: Vertigo, Mirage and Inferno, but in this match, they will sweep away the Chinese on any map.
Bookmakers give odds of 1.28 for Team Spirit and 3.77 for TYLOO. Everything is very clear, easy for Spiritualists.
Prediction: Team Spirit will deliver TYLOO - odds 1.28
BIG vs Renegades
BIG is the team that I will drown for throughout this Major. I would like them to be able to make it to the playoffs of the championship, as they really deserve it. Objectivity will not be here, purely subjective, BIG will sweep away Renegades. The Australians lost to Movistar Riders on the first game day, but lost to paiN Gaming.
BIG results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Win the match with Entropiq on Nuke with a score of 16:13
- Lost the match against CPH Flames on Nuke with a score of 11:16
Banyat BIG
Ancient [2]
Mirage [2]
Vertigo [2]
Renegades results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Lost the match against Movistar Riders on Nuke with a score of 13:16
- Winning the match against paiN Gaming on Nuke with a score of 16:14
Banyat Renegades
Overpass [2]
Vertigo
Dust 2
Ancient [2]
Both teams showed us only their own Nuke, BIG's rivals were clearly stronger, the only question is which of the teams will prepare Nuke well and play decently there. The belief in the German team is crazy.
BIG is still banning Ancient, Mirage, Vertigo, their forte is Dust 2.
It is worth recalling that the format of the match is BO1 and therefore anything can happen here, this is a complete roulette. Bookmakers give odds of 1.33 for BIG and 3.15 for Renegades.
Forecast: BIG will be smashed by Renegades - coefficient 1.33
ENCE against mousesports
The most unpredictable pair in the BO1 format on the second game day. ENCE lost to FaZe Clan on Dust 2, although they looked good, only sagged in shooting at key moments, but GODSENT won. mousesports defeated YNG Sharks at Inferno, and then flew away from Heroic at Nuke. It is difficult to single out a favorite in such a match, both teams shoot hard and they have strengths, the BO1 format clearly plays into the hands of the Finnish team.
ENCE results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Win the match against GODSENT on Nuke with a score of 16:10
- Lost in the match with FaZe Clan on Dust 2 with a score of 12:16
Banat ENCE
Inferno [2]
Vertigo
Ancient [2]
Overpass
Mousesports results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Victory in the match with Sharks on Inferno with a score of 16: 6
- Lost in the match with Heroic on Nuke with a score of 11:16
Banned by mousesports
Dust 2
Mirage
Vertigo [2]
Overpass
Ancient
ENCE does not play Inferno and Ancient, and mousesports prepare specifically for the opponent, but do not play Vertigo. Initially, I wanted to flood for ENCE, but I remember the individual shooting ropz, frozen and Bymas. Bookmakers singled out ENCE as the minimum favorite, they have a coefficient of 1.73, and on mousesports - 2.13. I am inclined towards the victory of the "bears", even though the Finns are very sympathetic with their game.
Prediction: a difficult victory for mousesports against ENCE - coefficient 2.13
Movistar Riders vs. Entropiq
The last match in the review, there will be a maximum inflow for the CIS-team, but the Spaniards will fight to the last, especially in the BO1 format. None of the teams wants to be one step away from relegation from the Major and therefore need to prove here and now. Entropiq lost to BIG on Nuke, but unexpectedly defeated Astralis with no chances on Dust 2. Movistar Riders lost to Virtus.pro on Vertigo, nerves of the Bears, and also beat Renegades on Nuke.
Movistar Riders results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Win the match against Renegades on Nuke with a score of 16:13
- Lost in the match with Virtus.pro on Vertigo with a score of 12:16
Banned from Movistar Riders
Dust 2 [2]
Mirage [2]
Inferno [2]
Entropiq results at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (New Challengers)
- Lost in the match with BIG on Nuke with a score of 13:16
- Victory in the match with Astralis on Dust 2 with a score of 16: 6
Banat Entropiq
Dust 2
Nuke
Inferno [2]
Overpass [2]
Movistar Riders were banned in their matches Dust 2, Mirage, Inferno, and Entropiq twice banned Inferno and Overpass. The match is also unpredictable, anything can happen in the BO1 format, I want to believe in the team from the CIS region - good luck Entropiq! The match is clearly 60 to 40 in favor of Entropiq.
Bookmakers give 1.71 odds on Entropiq and 2.16 on Movistar Riders, the Spaniards will definitely push the fight, but they are unlikely to win this match.
Prediction: Entropiq will beat Movistar Riders - odds 1.71
So, tomorrow in the BO1 matches I expect Team Spirit, BIG, Entropiq and mousesports to win. Games promise to be very interesting - don't miss it!
