HAVU and ex-Winstrike will compete for the right to make it to the semifinals of Funspark ULTI 2021: Europe Season 1. The Finnish team is clearly tired, to which we should add a few annoying defeats. In turn, ex-Winstrike is doing well, except for the active search for a new home.
HAVU form
The 16th team in the world rankings lost in the final of the Pinnacle Cup 2021, simultaneously eliminated with Snow Sweet Snow 3. However, no one can blame HAVU for a bad game. Against this background, the Finnish team continues to show confident play, albeit making mistakes. However, here the team is definitely not the favorite, as the opponent knows the key to the victory over the Finns.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over K23 with a score of 2: 1.
- Lost to ex-Winstrike with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Copenhagen Flames with a score of 2: 0.
Best HAVU cards:
- Nuke - 83% win rate.
- Mirage - 79% wins.
- Train - 77% wins.
- Overpass - 73% wins.
- Dust 2 - 73% wins.
- Inferno - 70% wins.
However, the team does not play Vertigo. This is not to say that the HAVU indicators stand out strongly against the background of the opponent's capabilities.
Ex-Winstrike form
The 22nd team in the world rankings reached the final of Snow Sweet Snow 3, where they lost with honor to a slightly more experienced team. However, ex-Winstrike needs such defeats to gain valuable experience. At the same time, the Russian team fought to the last, losing, in fact, only in additional rounds. In addition, we must remember about the schedule factor, because along the way the team will play their match at the European Development Championship 3.
The latest results of the team:
- Defeat from EXTREMUM with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over HAVU with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Nemiga with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
Best ex-Winstrike cards:
- Overpass - 77% wins.
- Mirage - 70% wins.
- Vertigo - 69% wins.
- Dust 2 - 65% wins.
- Train - 58% wins.
- Nuke - 52% wins.
Note that the team hasn't played on the Inferno map for a long time. But needless to say, given the good play on other maps.
Personal meetings statistics
During the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- Winstrike win in Snow Sweet Snow 2 Regionals with a score of 2: 1.
- HAVU wins on Snow Sweet Snow 2 with a score of 2: 1.
- Ex-Winstrike's victory in Snow Sweet Snow 3 with a score of 2: 0.
However, no one denies that the teams are approximately equal to each other.
Forecast for the match HAVU - ex-Winstrike
Once again, the Finns are considered the favorites. However, recent results show the opposite - HAVU began to make mistakes often, getting lost on the server. In turn, many words have been said about the Russian team. At the same time, the team does not experience any problems with form or motivation. Therefore, here I propose to bet ex-Winstrike to win.
