The Sentinels and 100 Thieves will have a rematch, albeit now as part of the VCT 2021 Grand Final: North America Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. The meeting will take place in the BO5 format, although even without that, Hiko and the company have too few chances to impose a fight on the favorite. Therefore, for me personally, there is no doubt that the Sentinels will issue another victory.
Sentinels shape
The first North American ranked team easily and naturally walked through the VCT 2021: North America Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs grid, closing all their opponents. The exception was the Rise team, which put up a decent resistance. But even without that, it is clear that the Sentinels have a big advantage in class and experience, and the variety of team ideas is impressive. So the next meeting with 100 Thieves does not bode well for the latter.

Form 100 Thieves
The second North American ranked team in this championship is showing solid performance, apart from a crushing defeat to the Sentinels in the Upper Bracket Finals. However, the team still found the strength to formalize the right to revenge. True, it should be said in advance that the chances of 100 Thieves are minimal, given the last face-to-face meeting with the Sentinels.

Forecast for the match Sentinels - 100 Thieves
One gets the impression that the intrigue is dead even before the start of the match. Both teams solved all their questions two days ago, so there is only a bare difference in the class. It is clear that the advantage in this fight is not in favor of 100 Thieves, but even after the defeat in the recent final, there is no need to think about a possible fight. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Sentinels team with Handicap (-1.5).
