At the begging of August, the 27-year-old Serbian player Nestor "LETN1" Tanić, announced that he is not anymore under the contract of team c0ntact. He was replaced by Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer. The core of the roster remained the same: Rokas "EspiranTo" Milasauskas, Otto "ottoNd" Sihvo, and Luka "emi" Vuković. cOntact is #53 and has a win rate of 46.7% in the last three months. During that period, they played perfectly on Dust2 (100.0%) and had a positive score on Train (62.5%) and Inferno (60.0%). They had a 33.3% success rate on Nuke and Mirage; played only once on the Overpass and lost.
Apex is currently 60th in the world and has a win rate of 39.5%. Haakon "Radifaction" Tholo left the club just a few days ago. Luckily, they signed a 29-year-old Swedish veteran Dennis "dennis" Edman, two months ago. The coach Pål "Polly" Kammen can count on Sander "Grusarn" Iversen, Erik "truth" Hansen Dyrnes, Kristian "akez" Kornbakk, and Ole "Marcelious" Kristian Langan for the next match. These guys played with the most success on Vertigo (80.0%), and worst on Mirage (25.0%). In their last match, they lost to Espada 2-0 in the quarterfinals at the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 7 tournament.
Pick: 1st map total round Over 25.5 (-164 @GG.BET)
c0ntact is the bookmaker's favorite and better-ranked team. Both teams are playing in a hot and cold form, and it is difficult to predict the winner of this duel. My advice is to bet on the total number of rounds on the first map over 25.5 at the GG.BET.
