The last meeting was held as a part of ELEAGUE Major 2018 Main Qualifier and then qikert and Co won over the opponent by the score of 16:7.

At the moment the roster hold the 82 position in the rating of the best teams according to HLTV. In November, Denis «electronic» Sharipov left the team, but they managed to find the replacement only a week ago - Igor «lollipop21k» Solodkov joined the collective.

At the moment there is no information about the picks of the maps as it will have appeared by the beginning of the match. The last bo3 meeting were held by AVANGAR and FlipSid3 Tactics on the maps “Overpass”, “Cache” and “Mirage” and we think that the collectives won’t deviate from the picks.
The bookmakers think that FlipSid3 Tactics are an objectionable favourite and set the coefficient of their win of 1.8, while AVANGAR’s triumph is evaluated as 2.0. We don’t agree with the coefficients and think that the Kazakh have more chances to win the meeting due to their participation in the minor championships. The statistics of matches against FlipSid3 also proves the chance of the victory of Ramz1k and Co.
