?Team Unique and Level Up are already eliminated from the playoff race, meaning this bout holds no particular value for either side. Regardless, it’s easy to understand why the esports bookmakers have Team Unique priced as -153.85 favourites. Unique took down Brame (2-0) and Natus Vincere (2-1) last weekend to take their record to 2-6, and they also forced Vikin.gg and Chicken Fighters to three maps a couple of days prior.
Level UP have been far less convincing with their showings, going 0-4 in their last four. However, they have had some flashes of greatness during the tournament, taking down PuckChamp (2-1) and Hellbear Smashers (2-1). They even stole a map off HellRaisers in a 1-2 loss on Thursday.
Team Unique might have shown higher highs, but their current form makes it tough to believe they can sweep Level Up. We are taking the overs on total maps.

?Vikin.gg are guaranteed to finish inside the top six and could leapfrog HellRaisers to grab the upper seed for the playoffs with a win here. For that to happen, however, HellRaisers would have to lose against Chicken Fighters on Monday.
Regardless of whether Vikin.gg remain in the race for the upper seed, it wouldn’t be fair to question their chances to defeat EXTREMUM. The Russians enter this match with a 1-4 record in their last five, with their only win coming against Level Up (2-0) on Tuesday.
Vikin.gg have been far more convincing with their showings across May (9-3) and enter this match on a three-game winning streak. Although Melchior “Seleri” Hillenkamp and co. aren’t as good as they were in late 2020 – when they won DOTA Summit 13 Online: Europe & CIS and finished top three in EPIC League Season 2 Division 1 – they’re still a class above most of these Tier-2 teams.
