Azure Ray vs Wawitas Sagazes Predicted Result
Azure Ray started their performance well, while the Peruvians pleased fans with a draw with BB Team. Let's bet on the victory of Azure Ray team.
Azure Ray is the 6th team in the world ranking. The organisation's performance at The International 2023 was phenomenal in my eyes, managing to climb up to 4th place in the standings. For some reason the roster undergoes changes and the old guys Somnus(2), chalice(3) and fy(4) leave the team. In their place come Xm, Xxs and XinQ respectively. It's still hard to judge, but the previous squad at least looked more confident.
Wawitas Sagazes are the SA regional team. The roster is not the most confident, but some of the players have quite good experience. DarkMago and Panda for example played almost all of 2022 in ThunderAwaken and together with the team took 5th-6th place at TI 2022. After that Panda went to EG and DarkMago played for beastcoast for almost all of 2023. The rest of the guys are more known for good achievements within the region.
AR managed to beat Secret on the first game day and draw with BI. Wawitas in turn were defeated by BI and should have been defeated by BB, but they still gave them the second map. I'm more inclined to AR's victory in this case.
