UCAM Esports Club vs. Vodafone Giants.Spain Club Preview and Prediction – Free 3/20 League of Legends
This will be the first Playoff tilt of these two teams. Even though UCAM ended up in a higher seeding place they are not that better team.
UCAM Esports Club Stats and Latest Results
UCAM Esports Club ended up a regular season as a second seeding team of the league. Their roster is brand new, formed in January this year, and the contract of the players ends up in November. They are mostly Platinum and Diamond tier Spanish players. All that caused their 11W/7L record at the season end.
They have four wins in the last five games of the regular season which means that they were preparing for the playoffs. With those wins, they displayed their skills in the late game and showed their biggest advantage – gold gathering. They usually establish their supremacy against opponents in the early game even though it's not their cup of tea.
Vodafone Giants.Spain Stats and Latest Results
Vodafone Giants.Spain has the most trophies among teams in SLO Championship. They were SLO Spring and SLO Summer champions of 2020, and SLO Summer in 2019. They also got last season’s Iberian Cup. They have ended up a season on the fifth seeding spot.
Through all wins and losses the team captain Th3Antonio was there. He has been on the team since 2017 and he is their best player most of the time. Other members of the five came to the team in December 2020. They are mostly Diamond-tier European players. They overcame their first playoff obstacle (Movistar Riders) pretty comfortably, and Th3Antonio again displayed why he is the team captain and their best player.
UCAM Esports Club vs. Vodafone Giants.Spain H2H Record
This will be the 7th encounter of those two teams. UCAM Esports won over the Giants only in their first tilt ever, and since then the Giants are on a 4/0 record. This is their first playoff encounter, so this is a chance for UCAM to disclaim the domination of the Giants in the H2H record, or for the Giants to approve it.
UCAM Esports Club vs. Vodafone Giants.Spain Betting Preview
According to the fact that this is their first tilt in the playoffs, I assume that both teams will start the game a bit reserved. They will try to play defensively and wait for their opponent to make a mistake. This is not typical for any of those two squads, but the stake is higher in the PO than in the regular season. This playstyle will have an effect on a game's duration, so today I won’t pick the winner because every outcome is possible. UCAM Esports has players that are more flexible to banned champions, and they are able to patiently wait for a mistake of their opponent 15 or more minutes, on the opposite to Vodafone Giants. I suppose that fact will bring them a win on the first map.
The Pick: (+123 @GGBet)
