High Coast Esports have already been eliminated from the top division, and it would be hard to argue they don’t deserve it. Their only win in six outings this season came against Vikin.gg, who are also guaranteed to drop down next term.
Team Nigma are tied with OG and Team Liquid with three wins and three losses, which means they need to win here to guarantee a top-four finish. Otherwise their playoff chances will hinge on whether OG get swept by Team Secret on Wednesday.
We rarely bet on Nigma to win 2-0 since they can be very unpredictable, but they’re also known to step up when it matters. HCE are just not good enough to compete in this division, which is why we have to taken the favourites to cover the map line.

A win here would secure Alliance direct promotion to the group stage of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021, whereas a 0-2 loss would see Team Liquid take their place. This is the most important match of the tournament for both sides, and it’s also their final match of the event.
These teams last met way back in November 2020, when Team Liquid won 2-0. That marked their sixth head-to-head victory of the year and their fourth across the last five meetings dating back to May 2020. One thing worth mentioning is that these clashes are usually very one-sided; all of their last six ended in clean sweeps, going 4-2 in favour of Liquid.
Momentum plays a crucial factor when these squads meet, and we don’t believe that will change here. It’s also important to note that if Alliance win the first map, Liquid have nothing more to fight for, whereas Liquid have proven to be very efficient in closing out games where they grab an early lead.
