The last time when the collectives played together happened at the tournament ESL One Cologne 2018 approximately two months ago and the the European mix turned out to be stronger defeating their opponents by the sore 16:08 on the map “dust2”.

Mousesports have got player Snax recently and they are getting better and better with every tournament - at ESL One: Cologne 2018 the roster stopped at the 9-12 position, and at ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 “mice” managed to get to the semi-finals. Now the collective is considered to be one of the best in the world and holds the fifth place in the rating from HLTV.

Meanwhile, the team Gambit eSports have been having a difficult time for quite a long time and we should admit that they are in a bad shape. The collective has signed Blad3 as their coach recently and we see some progress and thanks to that the roster took the 3-4 place at Intel Extreme Masters XIII - Shanghai, but at the qualifiers for Intel Extreme Masters XIII - Chicago they had no chance to gain a slot.

The bookmakers think that Mousesports are the favourites of the meeting and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.3, while the triumph of Gambit eSports is evaluated as 3. We agree with the opinion of the bookmakers and also think that the CIS collective has almost no chance to win.
