Natus Vincere (NATUS) v.s. Heroic (HERO) (-185 NATUS) (1:30 PM EST)

The best teams in the Group will face off here and both are undefeated. HERO enters with an 83.3% win-rate versus NATUS’ 69.2% win-rate. The last time these teams met NATUS was able to sweep the series 2-0. The best player on NATUS in s1mple was the second least efficient slayer in that matchup (+14 kill-death diferential) so there’s potential for him to perform even better this time around due to being the most consistent on the team with a 1.79 K/D as of late. However, stavn of HERO can be a difference maker here with the most damage per round of both teams at 90.4 per round and not being in his team’s lineup the last time HERO faced NATUS. This can give him a chance to slow down the most efficient player from NATUS in the previous matchup in electroNic who is slightly behind in damage at 83.3 per round. The fact that TeSeS is coming off a +19 kill-death differential and capable of slowing down the other player in the 80+ range in b1t of NATUS should make this match a closer one as well. NATUS may have the edge here still though with s1mple not having a dominant opposing sniper at the moment to slow him down which could give his teammates more chances in battle. There would be no surprise if this result goes either way though.

Evil Geniuses (EG) v.s. AGO (AGO) (1:30 PM EST) (-133 EG)

Two of the worst teams in the Group at the moment faceoff here and EG have yet to get a win. Also, EG will have to face an AGO squad that was able to defeat the team that just beat EG in their previous matchup. That may be enough for AGO to find an opening despite their slaying not being up to par as of late. The pressure may end up falling mostly on F1KU of AGO to perform well but he has slightly regressed, with a now 0.94 K/D. The experience is in favor of EG so they should be able to win here and Brehze should be the significator factor in EG’s success as the most consistent lately with a 0.97 K/D and coming off a +4 kill-death differential game. Despite this being the case, the slaying has not been great for either team so this match can also go down to the wire with either team having the possibility of winning.

Complexity (CMPLX) v.s. Astralis (ASTRA) (2:30 PM EST) (-388)

The next match with potential to go down to the wire with win-rates being extremely close (ASTRA- 47.4%, CMPLX– 41.2%) and the fight for a playoff spot underway. ASTRA has the benefit of sweeping CMPLX 2-0 the last time these teams met but it was the older lineup in which blameF and k0nfig of ASTRA were a part of but on CMPLX. In addition, blameF and k0nfig were the leading slayers for their former team despite having negative kill-death differentials. This should give them some edge as they lead the way for ASTRA in consistency at the moment. BlameF has been the more consistent of the two with a 1.26 K/D so he may be relied upon more by his team perform well. As for CMPLX, the consistency is not too far behind for junior who is the main sniper of CMPLX with a 1.24 K/D but slightly low assist rate of 0.09 per round. However, the opposing sniper in Farlig has not been as efficient as of late with a 0.97 K/D which could give junior more chances in sniper duels on the map. All in all, ASTRA should prevail here with the two highest damage dealers on their end in blameF and k0nfig especially at 89.5 (which has slightly regressed but still difficult to maintain that high of damage) being able to contribute heavily.
