AURORA GAMING vs THE MONGOLZ

Aurora Gaming finished second in Group A, after beating FaZe Clan and FURIA. They could not make it past Natus Vincere in the final, but still showed some signs of life, taking eight rounds on Anubis and 10 on Nuke.

The MongolZ placed third in Group B, where they bested MOUZ, Team Liquid, and Team Spirit. Their only loss of the group stage came against the tournament favorites, Team Vitality, yet even against the Bees, they forced overtime on Overpass.

  The bookies' bookie

The MongolZ have been playing well this tournament, especially Ayush “mzinho” Batbold, who is averaging a 1.16 rating. But they had a close call in their last match against Aurora earlier this month, so a 2-0 sweep seems unlikely.

The Mongolian squad are priced at -120.48, which looks fair. While a one-sided stomp is unlikely, MongolZ should handle Aurora.

PARIVISION vs TEAM FALCONS

Team Falcons’ road to the playoffs has been a bit bumpy, as they lost to Natus Vincere in Group A upper bracket semifinals and needed three maps to make it past TYLOO and FURIA. Despite being a stacked team, the Falcons have not been showing up individually, with Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov as the highest-rated player at 1.18.

PARIVISION did not look perfect in Group B either. But they managed to finish in second, following a very impressive 2-0 sweep of Team Spirit, after struggling a bit too much against Ninjas in Pyjamas in the opening round.

Team Falcons are always a threat to win big events, but they have become known to disappoint in the knockout stages, often choking in key moments. While they have a fairly easy opponent, the top CS2 bookmakers seem to be overestimating the Falcons.

Priced at $2.50, PARIVISION are an appealing pick. They’ve proven their worth this season with the BLAST Bounty Winter title and the PGL Cluj-Napoca silver medal. While volatile, they can defeat the Falcons, who haven’t been great this event.
