?Tricked Esports went down to Young Ninjas (0-2) and Double Poney (0-2) and are now only one loss away from being eliminated. AGF Esports find themselves in the same situation following their losses to ENCE (1-2) and SAW (0-2).
Tricked last met with AGF at the start of the month, winning 2-0 with 16-12 on Inferno and 16-14 on Mirage. It marked Tricked’s third consecutive head-to-head victory of the year, with all of those wins coming in clean sweeps.
AGF came extremely close to stealing one map in each of those three outings and even forced overtime back in April. AGF did well to keep their previous fixtures with Tricked close and were a bit unlucky not to win at least one map. At even money or better, we’re happy to take the overs on total maps.

?HAVU Gaming lost to Copenhagen Flames (0-2) and 777 Esports (1-2) in their first two games of the tournament, while Lyngby Vikings slipped against SKADE (1-2) and Team Fiend (0-2). There’s not a lot to set these two sides apart based on those results, and it’s even more challenging to split them knowing that these two rosters haven’t met before.
HAVU are priced as heavy betting favourites, which seems a bit off and is likely based on the brand value alone. The Finns are 1-6 in their last seven outings and recently benched Jemi “jemi” M?kinen. HAVU have yet to announce who will replace him, which suggests they might enter this match with coach Taneli “diSTURBED” Veikkola filling in.
Playing with a coach rarely works out well, and that is a big reason why we don’t believe HAVU will have an easy time on Thursday. Lyngby Vikings might not be a perfect team, but they’re at least winning games and fielding a complete roster.
