The clash between by_Owl and Nix Team in the lower bracket of 1win Streamers League #3 this Saturday at 3pm Moscow time promises to be a real test of nerves. With the series set to best of three, both sides know one slip could end their run, and the pressure go dey heavy for the underdogs especially. by_Owl come into this one looking like the steadier unit overall, even if the gap no too wide, while Nix Team still get chance to snatch at least one map if their individual players step up sharp.

Nix Team on the other hand dey mix flashes of brilliance with moments of lapse, which could cost them in a tight series like this.

Inside each map the balance look even, with both sides trading blows on aim and utility plays, but by_Owl bring that extra layer of coordination that help them close out rounds.

Expect a hard fought battle where small details like economy management go decide the outcome.
Betting Proposal
Plenty of factors point to a competitive series but my types still favour the more stable side to get the job done. The value sit nice at the current odds and this look like a spot where the favourite go deliver. Back by_Owl to win the series at 1.77
