The Portuguese team has made a surprise reshuffle ahead of RMR for the majors in Shanghai. Instead of arrozdoce, SAW will be replaced by Ag1l, a young Portuguese talent who moved to SAW from Rhyno Esports. The Portuguese were in the HLTV top 10 in the summer, and now they are looking to qualify for a second consecutive major - but will it be feasible to get through RMR without a leader?
In addition to arrozdoce, coach Berry left the team. Under the Danish coach, SAW achieved their best results in their history, but Berry lasted only three months and left the squad along with arrozdoce. SAW is now coached by Golden. The Swede won tier-1 tournaments with Fnatic as a player, and launched his coaching career in 2023 after managing GODSENT and EYEBALLERS. SAW has not yet played with the new coach, but has already played together with Ag1l. The five active players won ESL Challenger Katowice 2024 at the end of October, beating B8, Monte and Team Falcons with s1mple at the tournament.
The recent reshuffling of the squad could seriously affect the team's level at RMR. If a lineup with arrozdoce and Berry performs in Shanghai, we would not hesitate to wait for SAW in the majors. Ag1l made a good debut in Katowice, but he is far inferior to arrozdoce in terms of experience and skill. The whole game will be based on ewjerkz's individual skill and story, as well as the mapple - the Portuguese will be hoping for Nuke's crowning glory.
SINNERS
Several Czech teams, including SINNERS, qualified for RMR Shanghai. In the closed qualification for RMR the Czechs took the first place in Group A with victories over B8, PARIVISION and KOI - all teams are on the verge of Tier-2 and Tier-3 levels. SINNERS are not considered favourites for RMR, especially as this is the first appearance for the Czechs on the S-tier.
The main star of the team is sniper oskar. He averages 0.77 kills per round, deals 78 damage and has a 1.12 HLTV rating. The stats for the last three months are based on playing at the tier-3 level, but Sniper has a tremendous experience of playing at the highest dash for mousesport and HellRaisers, including wins at major tournaments. SINNERS has played 136 cards over the last three months with a 57% win rate, with the best numbers on Nuke (74% for 34 cards) and Mirage (54% for 24 cards). The Czechs' mapple is weak, most of the maps have either negative winrate or borderline.
SINNERS is the clear outsider of Group A on RMR. Primarily due to his lack of experience playing at a high level. With the exception of oskar, no one has played on the tier-1 scene, and even an experienced sniper has appeared there before the coronavirus era. Secondly, SINNERS can only show level on Nuke, on the other cards it has default winrates and actions.
Expert Betting Tips
Even with the substitution SAW should decide the outcome of this encounter in their favour. The Portuguese have made a lot of progress in 2024, while SINNERS have remained at the dash-3 level during this time. We believe in the victory of SAW in regulation time and without any problems.
