There is no clear favorite in this Best of 3 encounter when Sinners take on Lilmix in the Swiss Round 1 of the Vulkan Fight Series 2020 on Monday. The winning team will have a solid starting place and will need only two more victories to reach the playoffs.

Sinners Team Stats and Latest Results

Sinners have been in fine form lately as they won three tournaments and earned around $30,000 for their efforts. The Czechs were victorious at the Tipsport COOL Liga Fall 2020, SazkaeLEAGUEFall 2020, and Vodafone Czech Championship 2020. They will be playing the first game in a week after last week’s loss to Poland at the ESEA Winter Cash Cup 1 Europe. Sinners won nine of the previous 14 matches.

In the last three months, Sinners won the only appearance on Train and were strong on Nuke (80.0% win rate) and Overpass (75.0%), while they failed to impress on Mirage (28.6%). Sinners are playing with a new lineup that was assembled a week ago and appeared on just two maps, losing both in the process. The team members are oskar (0.97), ZEDKO (1.12), beastik (1.08), SHOCK (1.06), and NEOFRAG (1.19).

Sinners vs. Lilmix Betting Preview

Even though they lost the last three games, I like Lilmix more in this game because they have a more experienced side, unlike Sinners, who played only two maps with the current lineup. Sinners will need more time to adapt and develop proper chemistry, which was evident in a loss to Poland. It’s going to be a tight one, though, but I am leaning toward Lilmix in this one.
