Match prediction
An interesting match awaits us, especially since a place in the grand final is at stake. Both teams deservedly reached the final as favorites, but this time the victory will be for the representatives of North America. LOUD close the opponents dry, but often they came across weak opponents, like ZETA or Levitan. In addition, the history of the meetings speaks for itself, so I think in this match, OpTic will earn their fourth victory.
Bottom line: OpTic Gaming wins
