AI prediction and analysis
The largest group of AI models bet on over 2.5 maps — the bet lost. 5 more bet on an Aurora win — the bet won. The other 2 bet on a 1win win — the bet lost.
Aurora only put this five together on 19 September, with skiter coming in for Stojkov and Nightfall after they left the main roster, and the new combination is sitting mid-table so far: 6 wins in their last 10 series, a 2-1 over Team Liquid next to 0-2 defeats by PARIVISION and Natus Vincere. 1win have been playing together since 7 July and three of their five most recent series went to a third map — 2-1 against OG, 2-1 against Natus Vincere and a 1-2 loss to GamerLegion. Average map length for both sides is 42 minutes, their map records over the past 60 days are almost identical at 20-17 and 15-13, and the prices on the series winner split only 56% to 45%. An even best-of-three quarter-final at BLAST Slam with those inputs is what makes over 2.5 maps at 2.04 our pick here.
Where we could be wrong
There have been no meetings between the two in two years, and the drafts give nothing to work with on who troubles whom: both rate Hoodwink highly, but past that their hero pools diverge. Sweeps are the obvious danger on both sides — Aurora have been beaten 0-2 twice, while 1win saw off Team Nemesis 2-0.
