Inverse have managed only one win (1-4) so far and are in grave danger of finishing the division inside the bottom two. In contrast, Balrogs are 4-1 with a substantial 8-3 map differential and are on a two-game winning streak, having picked up wins against Omega Gaming and Unkown in the previous round.
With these two teams heading in opposite directions, it makes sense for the Balrogs to be priced as the heavy underdogs, even though $1.1 may seem a bit low. Not only are they one of the top teams in the division record-wise, but Bulrogs also boast very solid performance metrics, including 2283 Gold Per Minute (GPM), 2711 Experience Per Minute (XPM), and the league’s third-highest KDA (4.13).
Balrogs should win this bout with little to no issues, and given their aggressive playstyle; we will gladly side with them to close it out with at least 15 kills to spare.
Balrogs -14.5 kills

Omega Gaming and Iteritus sit tied in fourth place with a 2-3 record and a 4-7 map difference. Both teams have also lost their last two matches. Interitus lost to Gorillaz-Pride and Infinity last weekend, while Omega Gaming slipped against Balrogs in late December and Infinity on Monday.
Based on their recent showings, there isn’t a lot to set Interitus and Omega apart, and you could say that they are evenly matched talent-wise as well. Yet the esports betting sites have Omega priced as the favourites, which we believe they got wrong.
Despite their recent slip-ups, Interitus have been playing well, and they don’t deserve to be priced that high. However, Interitus had some moments in the past where they choked and lost maps they shouldn’t have, so we’ll play it safe and predict a three-map series.
