Game Prediction: T1 vs. Galaxy Racer in BTS Pro Series Season 7 SEA

I will try to give even more statistics that can influence the outcome of the fight. It is worth noting that all T1 players are ranked no higher than the top 100, the maximum is top 92 from Whitemon, Karl has top 9. Galaxy Racers are more likely to take First Blood, 54% from them, and from T1 - 43%.

It is important to understand that the format of the game is best of 2 and a draw in this fight is quite possible. T1 hasn't played official games for about a month, while Galaxy Racer has been actively playing the entire time. Due to the experienced merits of T1, there will be good quotes from the bookmakers.

Bookmakers give 1.845 odds on a T1 win, a draw was estimated at 2.384 and a Galaxy Racer success at 7.1. To be honest, it seems to me that Galaxy Racer can even win this match, but the shape of T1 and this format is best of 2, which is less predictable, is not clear. I lean towards the +1.5 handicap from Galaxy Racer, the coefficient for this is 1.796.

Prediction: Galaxy Racer will take one map against T1 at BTS Pro Series Season 7 - 1.796 odds
