Anonymo and DBL PONEY will meet in the second round of the FLASHPOINT 3 lower bracket. It seems to me that we have two absolutely equal teams with their own advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, one should not forget about the principled nature of the fight, since the losing team will go to a separate part of the championship, where they will only fight for 9th place.
Anonymo form
The 37th team in the world rankings began the championship with a victory over NiP, which in the end did not happen. The Poles agreed to replay the Mirage map, which went to the Swedes. Personally, it seems to me that this situation morally crippled the team, which issued three controversial meetings, including that ill-fated third card. Moreover, Anonymo managed to stay afloat, beating HYENAS. But it seemed to me that the team played without the previous zeal, clearly leaving in my head that case with the Swedes.
Recent Anonymo results:
- Defeat from SKADE with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat Movistar Riders 2: 1.
- Lose from AGO with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat to NiP with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over HYENAS with a score of 2: 1.
Best Anonymo cards:
- Vertigo - 71% wins.
- Nuke - 59% wins.
- Inferno - 56% wins.
- Train - 55% wins.
It is clear that in this case we will skip Dust 2. However, in this episode I expect to see Overpass, which is badly lame for the Polish band.
DBL PONEY Form
The 30th team in the world ranked ult-kicked at the start of the tournament, slamming Vitality. Next, the French went to the TIER-2 championships, where they won several victories and were defeated by AGF. At the same time, DBL PONEY did not cope with Astralis, although it was able to pull the nerves of the Danes. But the team did not even think to stop, continuing to be torn into two fronts. And these matches show that DBL PONEY confidently holds the bar, showing confident play.
Recent DBL PONEY results:
- Victory over Budapest Five with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from AGF with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat to Astralis with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Nordavind with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Apeks with a score of 2: 0.
Best DBL PONEY cards:
- Dust 2 - 81% wins.
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Nuke - 74% win rate.
- Inferno - 52% wins.
In this case, the team will definitely ban Mirage. However, I highly recommend DBL PONEY picking Overpass, where the Poles have a three-loss streak.
Anonymo - DBL PONEY meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Anonymo victory in the open qualifier for FLASHPOINT 3 with a score of 2: 0.
- Anonymo wins the closed qualifier for FLASHPOINT 3 with a score of 2: 0.
Interestingly, both times we watched Nuke and Vertigo.
Forecast for the match Anonymo - DBL PONEY
I will say right away that you need to wait for the stage of choosing cards. In my understanding, the French need to pick Oveprass, since they have already suffered from Nuke. Moreover, Anonymo will definitely expect both Nuke and Vertigo, so in this case you can surprise your opponent.
In addition, I would like to say about a psychological factor that does not speak in favor of the Poles. Personally, it seems to me that the situation with NiP hit the team hard, as can be seen from the results and the nature of the last matches. In this regard, I propose to bet 2.5 more on Total on Cards.
