Optic Gaming Los Angeles vs. Los Angeles Guerillas
With the latest addition to their roster, the Optic squad has been on an upswing. This could have been easily seen during the Toronto Home Series in which they beat the Huntsmen, and got eliminated late in during the semis against the runner up Atlanta FaZe.
Even if we look at the previous Home Series, the one we saw in London, Optic had a pretty good showing. They got eliminated against the favourites Florida Muniteers but still managed to go 3-2. One has to mention that game 5 was a very close one, which went on to be 6-5.
The LA Guerillas have been having rather poor showings lately, as they get eliminated soon after the events start. Very poor performance overall.
This is why we’re giving Optic Gaming LA the edge over the Guerillas. We don’t see this one going to game 5, the LA Guerillas could take an SND but we strongly believe it will be a clean 3-0.
Paris Legion vs. Seattle Surge
The Paris Legion, a team that started strong, went downhill, and uphill again. This team is back on track, and during their last event, they showed the same good performance they had at the beginning of the season. At the London Royal Ravens Home Series, they managed to finish 2nd as they lost 3-1 against the Dallas in the finals. During this event, they only dropped games to the Dallas Empire, as they ploughed through the LA Guerillas, the NY Subliners and the Royal Ravens.
On the other hand, we have the Seattle Surge, a team that much like the Guerillas have been struggling to make it out of groups. We see this one going in the Legion’s favour, most probably a 3-1.

Exact Scores
- London Royal Ravens vs.Toronto Ultra (3-1 @4.80 odds). Final Score 3-1
- New York Subliners (3-1 @3.15 odds) vs Minnesota ROKKR. Final Score 3-1
London Royal Ravens vs. Toronto Ultra
The Toronto Ultra just got off the weekend of their lifetime. They won their own home series. But that just doesn’t justify what they did. The managed to win against the best three teams there are at the moment. It was probably the most difficult event of the year, and they managed to win it before Champs.
They went 3-2 against FaZe, 3-1 against Empire, 3-2 against Huntsmen, and 3-2 against OpTic. They have quite a lot of game 5 wins on their belt, so if it goes to the last map, it will probably be them who takes it all.
New York Subliners vs. Minnesota ROKKR
The Subliners won the own Home Series, two home series back. This came as a surprise as they first managed to take down the Toronto Ultra in semis 3-0, and later on they took down the Chicago Huntsmen in finals, 3-0, once again.
The Minnesota ROKKR started the year on a positive note, however, they have been leaving much to be desired lately. During the past five events they attended, they didn’t even manage to make it out of groups.
We don’t see this team taking more than 1 map from a strong team like the New York Subliners.
