Lyngby Vikings Team Stats and Latest Results

There are not many hotter teams than Lyngby Vikings at the moment. They won nine of the previous ten matches, and are on a four-game winning run. The Danish side beat all three rivals: hREDS, Izako Boars, and AVE at the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 3 to make it to the Grand final. Martin 'trace' Heldt’s team did it in style, without dropping a single map along the way.

Lyngby Vikings have been in excellent form on Vertigo (88.9% win rate) in the last three months, while they also played very well on Ancient (75.0%). On the other side, they were below average on Dust2 (44.4%) and Mirage (44.4%). Vikings’ starting lineup is FASHR (1.19 rating), Daffu (1.09), WolfY (1.13), birdfromsky (1.04), and maNkz (1.10).

1WIN Team Stats and Latest Results

1WIN extended its winning streak to five games after coming from behind to defeat mouz NXT in the semi-finals. The Russians previously beat Nexus and Galaxy Racer without much trouble, and even though they fell short to mouz NXT on Vertigo, they responded with wins on Mirage and Nuke.

Dust2 (83.3%) and Vertigo (82.4%) proved to be 1WIN’s most favorable maps, while their “weakest” displays came on Overpass (53.8%). Coach Vadim 'MSE' Zimin can count on the following five players to face Lyngby Vikings: Polt (1.06), TRAVIS (1.12), glowing (1.13), deko (1.27), and Ravenlot (1.01).

Lyngby Vikings vs. 1WIN H2H Record

These rivals have met only once before, and 1WIN won that game 2-1 at the Spring Sweet Spring 3 Regionals in June this year.

Lyngby Vikings vs. 1WIN Betting Preview

Not only because the lone H2H duel produced a maximum of three maps - I am going with Over 2.5 maps because of the form we saw from both teams at this tournament and lately in general. Interestingly, none of Lyngby Vikings’ last five games produced more than two maps, but three consecutive matches prior to that series did. 1WIN already participated in a three-map game against mouz NXT, and I am expecting another close and lengthy affair on Thursday. Avoid betting on the winner, though.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (-103 @GGBET)
