1WIN is looking to record its fourth consecutive victory after securing the place in the ESEA Premier S39 thanks to wins over Endpoint and Apeks. They also opened this tournament with a dominant display in a 2-0 win over Nexus, in which they dropped just 12 rounds. 1WIN is in good form of 11 wins in 15 matches.

Vertigo (86.7% win rate) and Dust2 (83.3%) proved to be 1WIN’s favorite maps in the last three months, while they were average on Overpass. Coach Vadim 'MSE' Zimin will count on the same five players he relied on in the previous few months. deko (1.28 rating) is the team’s top performer while glowing (1.13), TRAVIS (1.12), Polt (1.07), and Ravenlot (1.01) are also quite capable of creating problems for Galaxy Racer.

1WIN vs. Galaxy Racer Betting Preview

Although the favorites in this game, 1WIN will not have an easy job here. They already had an opportunity to see playing against Galaxy Racer can be tricky, and knowing that, I will avoid betting on the winner in this one. 1WIN didn’t play a maximum of three maps in the last five games, but this one will be a tight affair and I am backing both teams to win a map. I am going with over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 maps (+102 @GGBET)
