We cannot conclude that HAVU is on the decline besides losing 5 consecutive matches. Their previous performance at the ELISA series has been exceptional and we expect a good show in this matchup. Lyngby Vikings is a good side but they tend to lose to teams with better statistics on Dust2 which is the case in this clash. HAVU needs to snatch only one map to win

The Pick: HAVU to win.
