Sinners Esports and Wisla Krakow will clash in the International Cup upper-bracket finals. They last met in March during Pinnacle Cup 2021, where Wisla Krakow edged out a 2-1 victory with a 22-20 overtime win on Nuke.
A lot of time has passed since, and a lot has changed, namely for the better for Sinners. The Czechs are currently 22nd in the global rankings and have done exceptionally well across the past few months, winning three tournaments since June.
Wisla Krakow have not achieved the same success and are without a tournament title since Nine to Five #5 in November 2020, but they’re not nearly as bad as the CS:GO betting odds suggest. The Poles recently won against Sangal Esports (2-0), played a close series with Double Poney (1-2), and are – unlike Sinners – efficient on Dust II.
Sinners should win, but we don’t expect it to be a clean sweep. Barring any surprise map vetos, we should see Nuke or Nuke in the mix, which should end in Wisla’s favour. A 2-1 victory for Sinners seems likely.

Santos e-Sports and Keyd Stars will cross swords in the penultimate round of Group A at Liga Talents 2021 in their first meeting since July, when Santos won with 16-6. Keyd have since parted ways with Lucas “YJ” Yuji, leaving them with only four active players on the roster.
And while Keyd’s situation isn’t perfect, it’s far more challenging to be optimistic about Santos e-Sports, who recently replaced their entire roster with young and unproven talent. Unsurprisingly, that has resulted in some unconvincing performances, but some growing pains are always expected following a major roster overhaul .
Santos e-Sports have gone 1-3 across their last four but are 10-7 across the last 17. Admittedly, most of those wins came against academy teams, but this roster has some promise. So while we don’t expect Santos to cause an upset, they have the tools to win a map.
