Previous Match Results and Statistics

These two teams went head-to-head last May 30, 2020 to determine who will remain undefeated and increase their chances of securing the top spot upper bracket advantage as both teams came into that match with a 4-0 win-loss record.

The underdogs in CR4ZY emerged as the victors in the form of a 2-0 sweep. The first game lasted for 50 mins as Yawar’s Ursa fought hard and tried to will his team to victory along with CCnC’s plays on his Void Spirit. However, the controls from Jakiro, LC, and Kunkka proved to be too much for Quincy Crew to handle.

Game 2 became CR4ZY’s statement match against Quincy Crew as this game took less time for CR4ZY to secure. With Quinn picking Void Spirit against Bryle in the midlane again, Bryle put on a show with his Storm Spirit proving that he had CCnC’s number and that Quincy Crew would need to find a different approach if they wish to contain him.

Bryle is the main guy to pay attention to in this match-up as he was able to amass an impressive 24/11/34 KDA from the teams’ latest encounter with both games combined. Skiter who has been Mr. Consistency for team CR4ZY performed as a reliable safe-lane core for team CR4ZY with an 18/7/30 KDA in two games.

The chances of Quincy Crew winning here rests on the hands of CCnC, it showed in game 1 when CCnC played the midlane slightly better than Bryle in the laning phase, it gave Yawar an easier time to find space to farm. That situation in game one gave them a better fighting chance as they were able to extend the game and even win a few team fights.

Predictions

Both teams play excellent DOTA as they rightfully sit as the number one and two team in this region and this match-up could very well go to either of these teams. But I would be going with CR4ZY here as they were able to gel as a team in the entire tournament. Quincy Crew’s winning condition here would be to shut down Bryle in the midlane completely and follow it up by throwing constant harassment toward Skiter to delay his farm.

I am looking at team CR4ZY to win but looking at what awaits the winning team, I would not be expecting a sweep here. I am predicting that this series will take three games as the playoffs intensify the competitive nature of both teams making the OVER 2.5 pick a viable option for this one.
