Predicted result of Talon Esports vs Geek Fam match
Geek Fam have already outplayed their opponent earlier in the year, and the team has also performed better in all recent regional qualifiers. Let's bet on a win for Geek Fam.
Talon Esports is the 9th team of the world ranking due to the merits of the previous squad. The current squad has played only closed qualifications for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024, where they played for 4th place and closed qualifications for DreamLeague Season 22, where they managed to reach only 5th place. Satisfactory result, but there is something to aspire to.
Geek Fam is the 79th team of the world ranking, but they look more serious. So far they have also played only qualifications for major tournaments, but with varying success. For example, at the closed qualifications to BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 reached the 2nd place, but unfortunately guys slot was only 1, and they competed for it with Azure Ray and could not beat them. But at the qualifications for DreamLeague Season 22 they were eliminated from the open qualifications and ended up in 3rd place.
Based on the odds given on both teams due to the instability of Geek, I think it is logical to take the outsider's handicap in this case.
