The group stage clash in the EPL Masters is set for Sunday afternoon with Team Synapse facing CyberHero in a best of three series. From the opening maps it is clear that Synapse have been the steadier side all through the season and their edge shows up whether the game goes slow or turns into a brawl. CyberHero are no pushovers though and they have shown enough fight in recent outings to suggest they can snatch at least one map if things break their way.
Team Form
Team Synapse have been in top shape lately with clean wins that show both attack and defence working well together. They keep their cool even when the score gets tight and that consistency has carried them through tough group games. CyberHero on the other hand mix flashes of brilliance with moments where they lose focus and that has cost them points in close series.
- Synapse win rate above 70 percent on their last six maps
- CyberHero have taken one map in four of their last five series
- Both sides average over twenty five kills per player in aggressive rounds
Tactical Analysis
The play style here looks set to be full of risk and fast moves with both teams happy to push for big moments instead of playing safe. Synapse stand out because they turn those risks into results more often and their map pool looks deeper which helps them adjust when the first plan fails. CyberHero can cause trouble on certain maps with surprise attacks but they struggle to keep the pressure going for the full series length.
Expect the action to stay lively right to the end with plenty of highlight reel plays but the team that stays calmer under pressure should come out on top. Synapse have shown they can close out matches even after dropping a map and that experience gives them the upper hand heading into this one.
Betting Proposal
Team Synapse to win the series at 1.52 looks the smart types here. The side has the better overall form and more ways to win maps so backing them to get the job done feels like the right call for punters looking at the group stage action.
