Argentinian team Bestia was a late scratch from the BLAST Austin Major after the team encountered visa issues. Legacy was the team given their spot and while they’ve faced some blowback for getting this opportunity, the team has made the most of it regardless. The squad has a 2-2 record in the group stage and eliminated regional rival Imperial to do so. Can it take out Wildcard, though?
Betting tip: Look at lines that involve maps being wrapped up quickly. These teams historically play very aggressively when they cross paths.
Wildcard got off to a rip roaring start at the BLAST Austin Major, running over Metizport and then taking a key overtime victory over Lynn Vision Gaming. The best-of-threes haven’t been as kind, though. B8 handed Wildcard a demoralizing 2-1 defeat, which was followed by a pair of overtime losses against BetBoom.
Just like that, Wildcard went from being on the brink of advancement to the brink of elimination. Wildcard’s tournament thus far has largely boiled down to momentum. The team is either getting bullied by opponents or looking absolutely unstoppable, with little middle ground thus far.
The same can be said for Legacy. With the exception of its best-of-one against Chinggis Warriors, all of Legacy’s maps have lasted 20 rounds or fewer. That has led to absolute stomps against Imperal and tooth-swallowing defeats BetBoom.
This is a match that will be determined by which team can find ways to stifle the other team’s momentum, or which can keep the pedal down for long enough that the lead won’t slip away.
