When comparing teams in the same position and having had both wins and losses, it is necessary to go into more detail. In the case of GamerLegion, these details make it clear that the team is fully justified in being in the preliminary stage of the major. The loss against The MongolZ was undoubtedly a frustrating blow, but the wins against the strongest representatives from Brazil equalized the overall impression of GamerLegion.

The roster looks like a mix from the Faceit Pro League, but the players have already established interactions and developed their own patterns. Replacement player Sebastian Tauson Lindelof is generally the most stable player on the team, and that status is critical with the balanced stats of the entire lineup. If any players start to slump, the Dane can come to the rescue, as a successful performance is more common than an unsuccessful one in his case.

Passion UA should be looked at from a similar perspective, analyzing the level of their last opponents on the Opening Stage. The effect of victories over MIBR and Complexity should be slightly downplayed, given the former’s mediocre status and the latter’s long decline. However, two defeats to BIG in a row indicated two characteristics of Passion UA. Firstly, despite the general rise in Shanghai, the team still has some kind of limit. Secondly, against the Ukrainians, the opponent definitely can find a counter-attack that will multiply all the set pieces by zero.

In individual terms, there is also a significant disadvantage: almost all the squad’s players have maintained the same level and distribution of strength as at the RMR tournament. In this case, stability is not a sign of excellence, as Passion UA seems to be stagnating. At one point, the lack of ideas and surprises in the form of someone’s rise will lead to a telling defeat against the favorite.

It is dangerous to predict the winner or even make a rough prediction on which team will get the edge in the upcoming series. Therefore, as the main outcome, we will choose a total, which can work if the fairly equal rivals can avoid a shutout series. A GamerLegion victory is less likely but has a basis in the overall impression, which was better than Passion UA in recent matches.
