Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The road to the Shanghai Major continues. We are following the matches of European qualifiers, the so-called Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A.
For access to the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 in the European RMR A will play 16 teams, which will play 7 tickets to the main tournament of the year. Among the contenders for passage are sAw and Sinners.
Let's try to figure out which team will be stronger and earn the first victory in the qualifying round.
Let's go.
Form sAw
Let's open the sAw vs Sinners match with an analysis of sAw's form. In this match sAw will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.5.
sAw are ranked at number 30 in the HLTV world rankings. This is thanks to their performance at many tournaments of different calibre.
They started the year with qualifications for ESL Pro League Season 17: European Conference. There we shared the top 1. Then there were two Top 4s at CCT South Europe Series #2 and OMEN WGR Challenge 2023.
There were also appearances at major championships, such as ESL Pro League Season 17. However, it was not possible to get a high result, only TOP-28, but the experience of the game.
Later sAw took the top 8 at CCT North Europe Series #4, top 4 at ESL Challenger League Season 44: Europe. In April 2023, sAw played at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, but failed to rise above the TOP-16. But they managed to do it later, at local tournaments.
This was the case at Masters League Portugal Season 11: Online, where sAw won the trophy by beating For the Win in the final. This was the case at ESL Masters Espana Season 13: Onilne Stage, ESL Masters Espana Season 13, CCT West Europe #4.
- Composition sAw: MUTiRiS, rmn, ewjerkz, story, arrozdoce.
Before taking part in CCT Online Finals #5 sAw played a lot of championships and, to be fair, they were good almost everywhere. They took top 2 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2, CCT North Europe Series #6, Aveiro Techdays Cup 2023, Master League Portugal Season 12: Online Stage.
We also played in big tournaments, such as Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where unfortunately for us we couldn't rise above TOP-12. At the end of November we won Master League Portugal Season 12 and XL Games Clash 2023.
CCT Online Finals #5 sAw Long Sogpeg were very confident. They easily ran over Team Space in the first round of the top set, winning 2-0. What happened next was more difficult.
In the second round of CCT Online Finals #5 sAw met Aurora, who were stronger than the Portuguese. The match lasted 3 maps and sAw even won the first one, but it didn't go any further and as a result Aurora reached the semi-finals winning their series 1-2.
In the match for the third round of play-offs CCT Online #5 sAw met Zero Tenacity. The Portuguese had no trouble getting past their vis-a-vis, closing out the series with a score of 2-0. However, Fnatic could not be defeated and sAw finished in the top 4.
Next was Top 4 at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2024 and a similar place at ESL Challenger League Season 48: Europe. Before playing at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A, sAw won ESL Challenger Katowice 2024.
Mappool sAw.
The most successful map for sAw is Nuke, where the Spaniards have 3 wins with 1 loss. Followed by Vertigo with a score of 2-1 and Ancient with a score of 3-2.
Neutral choices are Inferno and Anubis. Both maps have been played 4 times and on both maps the stats are 2-2.
The worst situation is on Overpass, where sAw won 2 matches out of 6.
Mirage are not playing.
Form SINNERS.
We continue the analysis of the match SINNERS - sAw with the analysis of SINNERS form. In this match they will play as an outsider with odds to win at around 4.
The Czechs had a very active 2023 season. I wouldn't be lying if I said that they played absolutely everywhere they could. This includes various qualifiers, B-Tier tournaments and local andVent tournaments.
The most successful period can be called the first half of the year, namely the period between March and May. SINNERS earned two championships and two top-4 finishes: they won the Tipsport Cup Prague Spring 2023: Online Stage and Tipsport Cup Bratislava 2023: Online Stage, the top 2 at the Tripsport Cup Prague Spring 2023 and the top 4 of CCT Central Europe Series #6. As you can see, almost all local Czech championships, but as they say, what's rich.
The Czechs continued to be active, but the results were more modest. At more famous championships like CCT series tournaments they were mostly in the "middle".
- SINNERS line-up: beastik, SHOCK, oskar, majky, MoriiSko.
Before participating in ESL Challenger Season 46, SINNERS played at Majstrovstva SR 2023, Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023: Online Stage and Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023, as well as CCT North Europe Series #8. The first three events did well: top-4 and even silver at Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023, but CCT North America Europe Series #8 was top-16.
ESL Challenger Season 46 is going well for SINNERS so far. They finished in the Top 2 of their group, Ledge only to APEKS.
Next, getting into the High Group, things went a bit off track. In the first match Ledge played 9INE, and then fell into the net of Loseers. There, by the way, they managed to beat Monte, which guaranteed an exit to the upper part of the play-offs. They managed to reach the top 3.
In the season 2024 SINNERS again had a lot of worries. They played mainly in TIR-2 tournaments, where occasionally they managed to reach high places, such as TOP-4 at Tipsport Cup Summer 2024: Online Stage. From the most successful ones - CCT Season 2 European Series #11, where they won the championship.
SINNERS Mappool
The strongest SINNERS map is Anubis. There they have 13 wins and 5 losses. Next is Ancient with 11 wins in 17 matches. The rest of the maps have minus winnings.
Overpass (47% wins), Mirage (42% wins), Inferno (30% wins), Vertigo (28% wins), Nuke (0% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings sAw - SINNERS
The teams have played each other twice in the 2024 season: SINNERS won in Bo1, while sAw won in Bo3.
Predicted result of the match SINNERS - sAw at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A
In this match I expect sAw to win. The Portuguese are able to show a decent game and have done it many times in matches against teams of higher level than SINNERS. They should win here too.
Bottom line: sAw win.
