Nordavind and sAw will face each other in the semifinals of the Eden Arena: Malta Vibes - Week 1.

The Portugese squad sAw topped its group with a 2-0 score after defeating Hard Legion and ex-SMASH. Most of the squad has been together for a very long time and they have an understanding of each other’s playstyle. The team has a 86% win-rate on Dust2. It also has a strong CT side on Nuke, which gives them an advantage in the map veto phase of its matches. MUTiRiS has a 1.14 rating and regularly puts up strong performances in its matches.

Nordavind is ranked 41st in the HLTV rankings and has an almost equal contribution from most of its players. NaToSaphiX has a 1.07 rating making him invaluable to the team’s performance and results. However, Nordavind’s map pool is not as comprehensive and deep as sAw. The team has been on a winning streak lately, with recent victories over AGO, HellRaisers and Gambit Youngsters.
