Sharing a 2-1 record, Into the Breach and hellslayerz are just one series away from locking in a spot in the playoffs, and one of the two will get there on Wednesday when Jesper “JW” Wecksell and co. clash with the British squad. This will mark the first meeting between the two CS:GO rosters and their biggest challenge yet.
Into the Breach have looked good this tournament, but they have only won against Savage and Young Ninjas. Similarly, hellslayerz have produced very dominant victories, but against MAD Lions and BIG Academy.
Even if we compare the individual talent, there isn’t much to set the teams apart. We would give hellslayerz a slight edge in that department, but not enough for us to recommend a bet on them at the offered CS:GO betting odds. Owen “smooya” Butterfield and his crew are good enough to upset the Swedes, but we’re happy with the price we’re getting on overs.

BIG Academy surprised many by making it to this stage, but they only won against ENTERPRISE esports (2-1) and 00 Prospects (2-0), two of the weakest teams in the tournament. That’s not to say that KOVA had to beat significantly stronger opponents to go 2-1 up, but they did not disappoint with their wins against Astralis Talent (2-0) and Anonymo Esports (2-0).
BIG Academy enter this match as underdogs with a weaker roster, but they have some things going for them, namely a better win rate on Overpass (80% v 29%), Inferno (56% v 12%), and Dust II (62% v NA). However, their win percentage across the remaining seven maps is worse by 30% or higher.
Map veto will be very important for this match, but even if the Finns are forced on an unfavourable map, they have enough firepower to make something happen. This is KOVA’s match to lose.
