BIG Academy and Team Dignitas will meet in the next match of the first round of the Thunderpick Bitcoin Series 2022 group stage. Will the Germans be able to win a third victory in a row?
BIG Academy
BIG Academy performs very successfully at the beginning of 2022, having managed to take part in one tournament and in one qualifying stage. First, the German five took 1-2 places at the WePlay Academy League Season 3, and after that they successfully performed in the Thunderpick Bitcoin Series 2022 closed qualifiers, during which they played four matches and won three of them. As a result, the first place, as in the decisive game we managed to beat Into the Breach (2-1).
Team Dignitas
The Swedish five decided not to pursue quantity, but preferred to focus on quality. As a result, the upcoming match will be only the second for Team Dignitas in 2022. And the first one took place as part of the first round of the group stage of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 Main Qualifier and ended positively for the Swedes - with a victory over 777 with a score of 2:0. It is difficult to draw conclusions, but we can say for sure that Team Dignitas still needs to get in shape, since the less skilled team 777 pretty frayed nerves: 19-15 on the Overpass and 16-14 on the Mirage.
Forecast
Team Dignitas is the favorite, which should hardly be surprising, since it has much more experience, and is also stronger individually. BIG Academy is having a good start to the season, but it's too early to fight with the Swedes on an equal footing.
