3DMAX had a rough start to IEM Cologne 2024, but that shouldn't spoil the real picture of the Skyesports Championship 2024 champion. The misfire in the opening match against 9z was largely due to Lucky and Ex3rcise not switching on the server. It is noteworthy that with all this, the total rounds were low, giving away an uncompetitive fight in the opening match of the tournament. One can easily attribute this defeat to the wrong phase of the moon and sleepiness, but by no means to the real level of 3DMAX.
The French have shown themselves quite confidently in the online format, time and again causing inconvenience to more status rivals. The offensive label of 'onlineers' was removed by the 3DMAX players in India, having travelled the hard way to the final trophy. Right now, considering the sum of the factors and not considering the abnormally high odds, the French have a chance of winning with HEROIC.
HEROIC
Six months ago, hardly anyone would have thought of two things: Abdul Hasanov's new team and the total decline of the European mix. The way these events turned out to be directly interconnected is starting to scare both fans of the sniper from Russia and European HEROIC fans. The second consecutive stand-in tournament could very well be Abdul's last for the new team, even though he hasn't even played a single game in Cologne.
How does HEROIC perform without him at this time? Certainly not as favourites in every second match, as bookmakers declare them to be. The first match in Cologne showed that Woro2k even in 2024 is still an individually strong sniper, but not part of the complex system that coach sAw is building. It's still unclear how experts and bookmakers consider HEROIC the clear favourite, as even 3DMAX's disadvantages don't override the general state of chaos in the European team. The same kyxsan, speaking about the problems of the team, stated his desire to fire the Russian in case of several more missed tournaments.
Expert Betting Tips
The prediction for this match may well be considered non-standard. If on the basis of all the problems inside HEROIC the Europeans remain the favourite - we make opposite bets with faith in the strength of 3DMAX, backed up by plus or minus a reliable total outcome at the end.
