3DMAX - Apeks

Realistically, before the tournament I thought that PARI would win, so I chose them as the tournament winners with odds of 2.70. But their form is tragic. The game is not flowing, and three players have been eliminated - nota, bielikas, and xielo. They are not showing their level of play. I watched an interview with their coach yesterday, and he was very angry and dissatisfied with the countless mistakes that the players are making... They talk about these same mistakes after each match, yet they keep repeating them. He mentioned that if necessary, he will kick players out after the Major if this kind of gameplay continues. It was a miracle that they managed to barely win in four overtimes against Wildcards, when just a day before they fought hard against Vitality. It would be a miracle if their performance suddenly improved overnight, but CS can be unpredictable and go against logic. The Mongolians are also unstable, their gameplay is not very pretty, and they struggled against Wildcards as well. In short, both of these teams are unstable and have poor form. I suspect that the Mongolians will take their Mirage, which is very weak for PARI, and later PARI will take their own pick. It is highly unlikely that either team will easily win.
