SK vs HellRaisers 30.04

SK:

We have seen two totally different SK's in this tournament. We saw the SK who got absolutely pummeled by Tempo Storm who almost gave away their huge advantage on Train and we saw a SK that managed to completely destroy Dignitas 2-0. Now there were a few key reasons for their win vs Dignitas and they'll need those reasons to win against HellRaisers. First up we saw Magisk finally turn up at a LAN. We waited so long for this and now that it finally happened it was at the perfect time. He completely dominated guys like Rubino, k0nfig etc. The guy that turned up with him was MODDII, he was very important on Cobble vs Dignitas, getting a 26-9 KD. You don't see him topfragging a lot but I feel like he gets more impact-frags on LAN than online. Then there was Friis, this guy outawped MSL when MSL wanted to awp, something that isn't too suprising, MSL isn't the greatest awper and he doesnt take the fight a lot, but Friis got some really nice shots taking down guys who are very important for Dignitas, guys like Kjaerbye. The thing that SK lacked against Tempo Storm was Friis hitting his shots, he was bottom fragging on Train and the thing is he will have to face oskar who is really on fire this lan. I don't think that Friis can win the awp battles against oskar, but if he just holds angles he can catch oskar unaware and just give his team the high impact frags again.

HellRaisers:

So HellRaisers really benefitted from the move of +Bondik -Kucher. Bondik is an absolute beast on LAN and he showed it again. He didn't get a crazy amount of frags, he got a lot of impact-frags. He was always the guy who would always get atleast the tradekill on a site. Now the key to HellRaisers' succes lately is oskar. He is very versatile, he can be static but he can also go aggressive and win almost every battle he gets. He is averaging a 1.37 HLTV rating at this LAN and the only map I didnt really see him all that much was on Cobblestone versus OpTic. Now last but not least I want to talk about STYKO. I feel like he doesnt get all the credit he deserves, he has been playing like a monster on LAN, getting a 1.16 rating on LAN while only getting a 1.00 rating online. Yes this contains the ratings on the old Fraternitas lineup etc. but since the major qualifier he has only had one match where he got a rating under 1.00 (Source: HLTV) and that was at this LAN against OpTic on one map.

Map Veto:

SK bans Inferno
HR bans Train
SK picks Mirage
HR picks Dust2
SK picks Overpass
HR picks Cache
Last map will be Cobblestone

I feel like Cobblestone favors SK, HellRaisers wasn't that good on it against OpTic while SK dominated Dignitas on it,
All the other four maps favor HellRaisers IMO, but Overpass and Mirage can certainly go SK's way.

Conclusion:

HellRaisers are the clear-cut favorites in this match but if Magisk and MODDII perform like they did yesterday this could definitely go to a fifth map with SK maybe winning it 3-2.

My bet:

Low on SK (2%) as long as they remain under 32% and
Low on Hellraisers 3:2 (2%) at 3.08 odds.

Analysis 2:

Virtus.Pro vs Tempo Storm 30.04

Virtus.Pro: Talking about plow, Virtus really plowed through OpTic, I just dont get it with VP. Why can't they put up this performance against HellRaisers? Oh well, lets get onto the analysing part. When they plowed through OpTic, who showed up massively? Right, that was Snax. Who was bottom-fragging when they lost 2-0 against HellRaisers? Snax. This guy is such a massive factor for Virtus.Pro since he can be a sick player that gets them the entryfrags they need not only on the T-side but also on the CT-side. The second player who has played two whole different games is Pasha. Pasha played pretty bad at the major, having played 19 maps in which he got eleven  -1.00 ratings on HLTV. I think that ever since that major he realised that he needs to step up and he needs to be training a lot at the bootcamp. At this LAN it's been much better and it seems like he's much more confident. Now the last guy I want to mention on Virtus.Pro's team is TaZ. He is one of the best players to have playing on a certain site, where on Train he's considered the king of B-site. He showed us yet again that he's really good on Mirage and Train where he loves to play on a site as CT and just get a lot of frags from a static position. He's also great at clutching, I remember VP playing against Na'Vi in a BO5, PGL qualifiers. TaZ clutched 5 rounds in total on one map, including two 3v1's. He got his team in the spirit that they can still win and although a 12-3 CT half from Na'Vi VP came back stronger than ever and won that map. I feel like TaZ always gives this team some spirit to get a crazy comeback.

Tempo Storm:

Tempo Storm consists of a lot of young players who all for themselves are crazy fraggers. I feel like boltz is the best player in this team, he is a very good rifler and he is honestly just like TaZ and Xyp9x. He always seems to get the trade kill and during rotations he's very good to get some kills, he seems to have crazy in-game sense. A guy who gets a lot of credits aswell is HEN1. He's a very good awper who seems to have certain maps where he doesn't like to awp, lets say Cache. Yesterday on Cache he was pretty much invisible while on Mirage he seems to make it his playground. Something that might be hard for HEN1 is that he will have to face an awper but he'll never know who it will be, because VP switches it up, they have 3 awpers, kinda like Astralis. The thing that makes this team so good is that they have great teamwork and trust each other alot and have great firepower.

Map Veto:

Tempo Storm bans Overpass
VP bans Dust2
Tempo Storm picks Cobblestone
VP picks Train
Tempo Storm picks Mirage
VP picks Cache
The last map will be Inferno

Cache should be a win for VP, they want to make it a great map of their and they have a lot of unique strats on this map while Tempo Storm showed a lot of weaknesses on Cache.
Mirage is pretty much a 50/50 IMO, This will depend on Virtus showing up or not(I get it that almost everything depends on this)
Inferno is also a 50/50 since both teams have showed us mixed results on this map
Cobblestone is favored to Tempo Storm, they are pretty good on it while I feel like Virtus isn't that good on it.
Train is favored to Virtus, its their playground and Tempo Storm showed that they really need to adjust their T-sides on it.

Conclusion:

I am favoring Virtus.Pro by a small margin but honestly it depends on Virtus.Plow showing up or not. I will probably be skipping this since it's so random but my gut is telling me that Virtus will win.

My bet: Skip or a small bet on Virtus as long as they stay under 57%.
