HAVU vs MAD Lions
CS:GO FLASHPOINT
These two teams met twice so far during FLASHPOINT, with HAVU pocketing a shock 2-1 win on the opening day, thanks to strong performances on Nuke (16-13) and mirage (16-10). MAD Lions, however, got their revenge only a couple of days later, when they blew HAVU out of the server with 16-10 on Mirage and 16-8 on Train and a perfect 2-0 series.
Both sides lost to MiBR, but looking at those bouts, in most part due to the sudden resurgence in form of MiBR's In-game-leader Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo. Since their losses to the Brazilian squad, HAVU picked up wins against Cloud9 and Gen.G, which are solid results for their standards, but not solid enough to make us believe they can compete with the MAD LIons. The latter are playing exceptionally well and look like a proper top-10 team. The winner of the match goes to the FLASHPOINT finals and I have a hard time believing HAVU are on that level yet. Bet on MAD Lions to punch their ticket for the FLASHPOINT finals.
Big Time Regal Gaming vs Team DWFN
CS:GO eFire Master League Asia
Everything is set for the match between arguably the best team in the league, Big Time Regal Gaming, and one of the worst teams in the league, DWFN. Big Time Regal Gaming are coming into the match with a 5-1 record, which they earned with wins over Goodflls, supOVD, 1P, xqR and SHIFT. All of Big Time Regal's wins are pretty straight-forward, and the fact that they dropped only one map so far, only goes to show this team is playing on a whole another level. Their only loss came against Ignis, which was a forfeit loss, so BTR are still technically undefeated.
While BTR are crushing everything in their path, their next opponents, TeamDWFN, are not enjoying their journey through the league. They are dead last in the rankings with six straight loses against Rev, Ignis, DxG, Goodflls, supOVD and 1P. As seen, DWFN can have their flashes of greatness ad pick up a map, but they always find a way to choke and fail to secure the series. There is only one way this match can go. Expect Team DWFN to get blown out the server with Big Time Regal Gaming securing a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Team SHIFT vs Ignis
CS:GO eFire Master League Asia
Ignis lost only one out of their six games played so far, and even that loss came in the opening game of the season against Rev. Since then, however, Ignis started to surge and picked up wins against DxG, Goodflls, supOVD. Ignis were also supposed to play against BTRG, however, their opponents forfeited the game and awarded Ignis with a free W. So far they are looking like one of the better teams in the league and will be poised to build on their dominant performance against 1P previous week, where they won 2-0 with 16-3 on Nuke and 16-1 on Inferno.
Their opponents, Team SHIFT are coming into the match with three wins against Goodflls, supOVD and 1P. On the other side, SHIFT lost against Big Time Regal Gaming, DxG and xqR. As seen, SHIFT can grind out some wins against lower-ranked opponents, but tend to struggle when facing stronger teams.
Apart from their opening day loss against Rev and a blowout defeat against DxG on Overpass, Ignis have consistently prevented any team from getting into the double digits and based on what SHIFT have shown I have a hard time believing they will be able to put up any formidable resistance. Ignis to win 2-0.
