Both of these teams recently attended Malta Vibes Knockout Series #1 and suffered early elimination against Izako Boars, who eliminated 777 from the second round on Friday and Finest in the first round of play a day prior.

Regardless, both teams seem to be in solid form. 777 Esports are 7-2 across their last nine outings, whereas Team Finest are 5-1 in their last six. However, we have to consider that Finest have been playing against much weaker opponents.

Even though it’s hard to be overly excited about Team Finest, there isn’t a lot to set these two teams apart quality-wise, so the match will likely come down to the performances of their star players. If you look at the game from this angle, you have to favour Finest, who field Guy “anarkez” Trachtman and Kristjan “shokz” Jakobson.

?GORILLAZ enter this match expected to win, but we believe the CS:GO betting odds for this clash are not quite right. GORILLAZ are often overrated by the bookmakers solely because they field players who are considered Tier-1 quality, but really they aren’t as good as they’re portrayed to be.

GORILLAZ are 1-4 in their last five outings, with losses against ENCE (0-2), Nemiga (0-2), KOVA (1-2) and Natus Vincere Junior (0-2). MASONIC haven’t achieved much either, although they have won two of their last three games.

MASONIC are by no means a top-tier team, but neither are GORILLAZ, who are reportedly very close to disbanding their project due to poor showings. MASONIC should do enough to force a three-map series.
