SKADE actually have a 3-2 map lead over ALTERNATE aTTax, but the Germans won the most recent H2H clash (2-1 at the LOOT.BET Season 7). SKADE have been fantastic in the last two matches as they didn’t allow more than five rounds per map to their opponents. That being said, I expect the favored ALTERNATE aTTax have some troubles to beat them, but still, they are a more experienced team, and there are reasons why they are nine points ahead of SKADE in the standings. I am going with ALTERNATE aTTax to win.
