Sprout and Anonymo will meet in a standalone part of FLASHPOINT 3, where the main battle unfolds around the ninth place. I note that the teams fought to the last in the lower bracket, having every chance to stay afloat. But the situation is such that the Polish team looks a little more preferable in this series.
Sprout Form
The 31st team in the world rankings in FLASHPOINT 3 showed a terrible start, not opposing anything to Heroic. However, in the next two matches the team looked very decent. And if FaZe Clan still managed to beat, then in the derby with BIG there was not enough experience, the lack of which, in my opinion, predetermined the outcome. However, one should still give credit to Sprout, which shows good attacking play on most maps.
Recent Sprout results:
- Defeat from SKADE with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over NLG with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Unicorns of Love with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.
- Lost to BIG with a score of 1: 2.
Best Sprout Maps:
- Dust 2 - 67% wins.
- Train - 54% wins.
The situation is aggravated by two factors: we will skip Dust 2 (the best Sprout map); There will be no Overpass in this match (the worst Anonymo map).
Anonymo form
The 37th team in the world ranking dropped out of the “losers” bracket, showing an equal fight in the match with DBL PONEY. Another thing is that the situation with NiP greatly undermined the Polish team, which slightly slowed down the pace of their game. Nevertheless, Anonymo still has chances to catch on in the fight for ninth place, since in some places the team shows interesting things that are completely unreadable.
Recent Anonymo results:
- 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.
- Defeat from DBL PONEY with a score of 1: 2.
Best Anonymo cards:
- Vertigo - 71% wins.
- Nuke - 60% wins.
- Inferno - 53% wins.
- Train - 50% wins.
This opponent is convenient from the point of view that the stage of choosing cards will definitely remain in favor of the Poles. Moreover, Anonymo has a strong Mirage in store, which in this case can go to the desider.
Sprout - Anonymo meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Sprout's victory at ESEA Premier Season 36 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
- Anonymo's victory in the closed qualifier for FLASHPOINT 3 with a score of 2: 1.
At the same time, I admit that it is worth waiting for Total 2.5 more.
Prediction for the match Sprout - Anonymo
First of all, I want to look at the maps, on the basis of which you can see a clear advantage of the Germans only on Inferno. The rest of the Polish team looks much more preferable. Add to that the last face-to-face match, in which Anonymo lost to Inferno and missed Sprout on Nuke and Mirage, in order to gain an advantageous position for the Poles. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Anonymo team, keeping in mind the probable Total on cards 2.5 more.
