BIG Team Overview
📝The updated BIG roster has yet to boast stable results. The team is capable of battling top opponents on equal terms, but also of losing to tier-3 level teams. In the current tournament, the German team hasn't won a single map against MOUZ and Eternal Fire. However, thanks to victories over Wildcard (2:1) and FlyQuest (2:1), tabseN and company still have a chance to fight for a spot in the playoffs.
❗️According to statistics, BIG wins with a handicap (+5.5) rounds on the second map in 11 consecutive head-to-head matches with Astralis.

Editorial Prediction
In our opinion, the bookmakers somewhat overestimate the chances of the Danes winning this match. The Germans approach important matches responsibly and do not significantly lag behind their current opponent in terms of gameplay level. In our view, total over 2.5 maps is the most optimal outcome for a bet in this match.
