Handicap +1.5 (Team Envy)

Team Envy and Sentinels will meet at the VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters Berlin quarterfinals. An extremely entertaining derby awaits us, in which the Sentinels will not be the undisputed favorite, sorry. Therefore, in my understanding, Team Envy has a real chance to punish their champion for his love of experimentation.

Team Envy Form

The third team of the North American rating without any problems took first place in their group, without giving up a single card. To be honest, in this situation it makes no sense to say anything, since Team Envy outplayed rivals at a lower level in the class. Now the team must prove that they were one of the first to make the playoffs for a reason.

Recent Team Envy results:

Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.
Victory over XSET with a score of 2: 0.
Lost to 100 Thieves with a score of 2: 3.
Defeat Vivo Keyd with a score of 2: 0.
Victory over KRÜ Esports with a score of 2: 0.

Best Team Envy cards:

Split - 69% wins.
Bind - 67% wins.
Haven - 65% wins.
Ascent - 64% wins.
Icebox - 63% wins.

At the same time, the team hardly plays on the Breeze map, and if it does, it invariably loses.

Sentinels shape

The first team of the North American rating came to the tournament and obviously turned up their nose. The team paid for this, having managed to lose to G2 in a salad. For a snack, the Sentinels decided to fail on the Split map, giving it to F4Q. And it seems to me that in Berlin the team is in terrible shape, which is primarily due to the lack of motivation.

Recent Sentinels results:

Victory over 100 Thieves with a score of 3: 1.
Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
Victory over F4Q with a score of 2: 0.
Defeat from G2 with a score of 0: 2.
Victory over F4Q with a score of 2: 1.

Best Sentinels Cards:

Breeze - 86 Win%
Haven - 81% wins.
Split - 78% wins.
Icebox - 72% wins.
Bind - 71% wins.
Ascent - 71% wins.

At the same time, the team sometimes has problems on Icebox.

Prediction for the match Team Envy - Sentinels

Given their experience in the local scene, Team Envy is the right team to take on the Sentnels. Why, at the beginning of the year, Team Envy closed Sentinels twice in a row. Now Team Envy seems to be much stronger, while the current Sentinels condition is not impressive. Therefore, here I propose to put on Forum (+1.5) for the Envy team.
