Command Analysis

Eternal Fire

Eternal Fire are ranked 16th in the world rankings. Previously, the team did not have stable results, but regularly took part in major tournaments. However, at this championship, the team was only able to deal with Falcons (2:1), and in the confrontation with Complexity, they lost dry - 0:2.
On Dust2, the "fires" brought the matter to the second overtime, but were unable to achieve success. Incidentally, the Turks consider Anubis to be their best map, on which they currently have exactly 71% win rate.

The MongolZ

TheMongolz have become a real revelation this season. The team is making great progress and has climbed 34 positions in the world ranking since the end of last year. The Mongolians started their path at the tournament with a loss to SAW (1:2), but they fully rehabilitated themselves in the next match against FlyQuest, who they beat with a score of 2:0.
In that game, the team looked strong and did not allow the opponent to take more than eight rounds on any of the maps. It is noteworthy that Senzu and company have at least 60% win rate on five maps at once, so they do not have any problems with the map pool.

TheMongolz, in our opinion, are the favorites of this confrontation. They finished previous matches against Eternal Fire in their favor with a score of 2:0. Plus, on many maps the Mongols are simply stronger than the "fires" and can offer more in tactical terms. We think that for such a coefficient it is worth taking their victory.
