Alliance enter their seventh fixture of the tournament with an impressive 5-1 record. That includes wins against some of the strongest European sides as well as a loss against Brame Esports, who stunned them 2-1 last Tuesday.
Losing against an underdog like Brame doesn’t mean much in the long run. It does, however, mean something if it’s a clear indication of an issue Gustav “s4” Magnusson and co. haven’t been able to fix for three months.
Alliance might be efficient in collecting wins, but they’re not nearly as resilient as they should be. They consistently drop maps and haven’t managed a single clean sweep since the start of February. That translates to a streak of 17 games that includes five losses and four draws.
Alliance’s tendency to give up maps is concerning and leaves them vulnerable to a possible upset, even against a team that is winless after five fixtures. As such, we are taking Hellbear Smashers at the map line.
Hellbear Smashers +1.5 maps

OG claimed a massive 2-0 victory against Team Secret last week to keep themselves in the race for a ticket to the next Dota 2 Major. The two-time winners of The International are now tied in third with Team Nigma with a 3-2 record and 8-5 map differential.
These sides last met back in February when OG won 2-1 and improved their head-to-head record to 9-3. OG have since played 12 fixtures and won only five, whereas Team Nigma have played 11 games during that stretch and won only four, two of which came against Secret (2-0) and Brame (2-1).
OG and Team Nigma have met 12 times in their history, with six of those clashes ending with all three maps played – including each of their last three best-of series. While OG seem to be in better form, one solid showing doesn’t convince us that they’re that much better than Nigma.
