SKADE and Nordavind are set to square off as the Week 5 action of the ESEA MDL Season 34: Europe roll on. These two teams are no strangers to each other as they have met a few times this month during the Home Sweet Home Cup with Nordavind dominating these meetings. SKADE enters this bout with a 4-4 record in this event while Nordavind sits at 3-3.
The ESEA MDL Season 34: Europe features 18 teams and is broken into a Regular Season (which is taking place) and the Playoffs. There are nine weeks of action in the Regular Season with many matches during the week. All matches in the regular season are best-of-one and the top eight teams move onto the Playoffs.
SKADE Preview
The Bulgarian squad of SKADE comes into this contest ranking 49th in the HLTV world CS:GO rankings. It has been an up and down ride for SKADE lately, and they can't seem to find any momentum. They have been losing much more than they have been winning and that is a concern. Their best player is dennyslaw and he has been a lone shining star. He will need to have an outstanding performance in order for them to win this match.
Nordavind Preview
Nordavind enters this bout ranking 43rd in the world. Their roster consists of four players from Denmark and one player from Estonia. Nordavind has been underperforming in this event, but they are normally a tough team to beat. NaToSaphiX and cromen are the firepower behind this team, and H4RR3 has his days in the spotlight as well. When Nordavind plays to their full potential, they are one of the best teams in the world.
Pick: Nordavind ML (-175 @ Bovada)
I have to side with Nordavind in this battle. SKADE has not been playing well lately, and they are a little overmatched in this contest. Nordavind has two very good players in NaToSaphiX and cromen, and these two should lead their team to victory. Given the struggles of SKADE, there's no way that I see them overcoming the obstacle that is Nordavind.
