FATE Team Stats and Latest Results
FATE (#51) are favorites in this tilt, which can be reasonable because they are better ranked than Hard4U. However, FATE are not in good form at the moment as they lost seven of the previous nine matches, and it was seven defeats in a row before beating #114 Izako Boars and GRAFICIARZE at cs_summit 6 Europe Open Qualifier. FATE didn’t have chances in the LOOT.BET Season 7 opener against #27 Nemiga, who were better at Overpass (16-12) and Nuke (16-8).
Train (64.9 winning percentage, played 37 times) is FATE’s favorite map so far, while they are also playing well at Overpass (56.8%, played 37 times). FATE are not performing well at Nuke (0.0%, three times played) and Mirage (42.9%, played 21 times).

Hard4U vs. FATE H2H Record
These rivals have never met before, and given that Hard4U were established this month, that’s quite understandable.
Hard4U vs. FATE Betting Preview
Hard4U are a somewhat inexperienced team, but they impressed in qualifications for this tournament and showed great fighting spirit against much more experienced Espada in the opening round of LOOT.BET Season 7. On the other hand, FATE changed its lineup after suffering seven straight losses, and it worked because they won the next two, winning all three maps in the process. Even though the Bulgarians are favorites in this one, I cannot separate the two sides, and that’s why I am going with Over 2.5 Maps.
