GamerLegion Team Stats and Latest Results
GamerLegion is not playing in its best form recently as they lost four of the last five games, including the most recent one to fnatic, the loss that forced them to go down to the Lower bracket at the DreamHack Open November 2021 Closed Qualifier. Prior to that defeat, GamerLegion managed to beat forZe after coming from behind, but now will have a mountain to climb against Sinners.
GamerLegion was above average only on Mirage (61.1%) and Ancient (60.0%), while they mightily struggled on Nuke, winning just 27.3% of appearances. Their starting lineup remains unchanged as Zero (0.98), RuStY (1.03), iM (1.15), era (1.05), and isak (1.00) are ready to face Sinners.
Sinners vs. GamerLegion H2H Record

Sinners vs. GamerLegion Betting Preview
GamerLegion displayed fine performances at this tournament in two games against forZe and fnatic. Both matches produced a maximum of three maps, and I don’t think the underdogs will give up without a fight in this one. I am not brave enough to back them to actually get the win, but I am pretty sure they will get at least a map. On the other side, I seriously doubt the dogs will secure a 2-0 victory as Sinners must win a minimum of one map. That’s why my additional pick will be Over 2.5 maps, which occurred in both GamerLegion’s games at this tournament.
The Pick: GamerLegion Map Handicap +1.5 (-156 @GGBET)
Additional Pick: Over 2.5 maps (+111 @GGBET)
