BIG uniforms
Let's start the analysis of the match with the analysis of the favourite. In this match it is the Germans from BIG. The odds for their victory are 1.7.
BIG participated in a lot of championships, but there were not many decent results. They started the season with a top-9 finish at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, and continued with a top-16 finish at IEM Extreme Masters Katowice 2023.
There was also an appearance at ESL Pro League Season 17 with a top-20 there. The failures partially managed to cap off the Top-4 at the Elis Invitational Winter 2023, where the team reached the Top-4.
In the middle of the year, the Germans failed to qualify for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, finishing top-11 at RMR Europe and then top-3 at qualification. In the second half of the year they started playing CCT Series championships, where it is worth noting CCT Online Finals #1, with TOP-4, CCT West Europe Series $4 with TOP-2.
Back to the S-Tier tournaments with BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 with Top-9, and then Top-24 at IEM Cologne 2023.
- BIG lineup: tabseN, Krimbo, mantuu, prosus, s1n.
Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 18 Long Round, the team played at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1 with a top-2 finish. There was also a top-8 at CCT East Europe Series #7 and a win at CCT Europe Series #7.
At ESL Pro League Season 18 they debuted with a match against Monte. The Ukrainian club fought honourably, but in the end they were defeated by Ledgeil with the score 1-2, putting BIG in the semi-finals of Group B at ESL Pro League Season 18.
In the previous match, BIG made perhaps the biggest sensation of the tournament. The Germans defeated Heroic, sending them to the bottom of the group.
Next, BIG played another big European club - ENCE. The Finns failed to win (1-2), but BIG made it to the play-offs, straight into the second round. That's where their ESL Pro League Season 18 journey came to an end.
BIG Ledge and Eternal Fire in the second round of play-offs with the score 0-2. Thus, the Germans took the EPL S18 top-12.
In the match before that, BIG played against 9INE. The Germans defeated their visions quite easily, closing the match with a score of 2-0.
Afterwards, BIG outplayed ENCE and advanced to the finals of BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023. However, BIG were not enough for the final as C9 won 2-0.
Prior to the Roobet Cup 2023, BIG played two CCT tournaments. It was CCT North Europe Series #8 and CCT East Europe Series #3. They finished in the top 16 at the latter, but won the North European tournament, beating Spirit 2-0 in the grand final.
The Roobet Cup 2023 ended quite well for BIG. The team finished in the top 8, and repeated that result at Thunderpick World Championship 2023. They also played at CCT Online FInals #4, where they finished in the top 3.
In the first match at CCT Online Finals #5 BIG played Zero Tenacity. "The Germans proved to be stronger, easily defeating ZT. In the next game BIG faced Guild Eagles and were stronger, and very confidently - 2-0. Next BIG's opponent was 9 Pandas and once again the Germans did not feel the enemy. A confident 2-0 against the Pandas took them to the final of the top set.
BIG Mapple
BIG have 3 of the best maps in their arsenal. They are Overpass, Vertigo and Anubis with 5 matches and 3 wins on each.
The most played map is Ancient. BIG have played 14 matches there and have a 57% win rate.
The most unlucky map is Inferno with 2 wins and 2 losses. The worst map is Mirage (9 matches, 33% wins).
Aurora shape
Let's move on to a breakdown of Aurora's match form. In this match they are the number two team with the odds of winning around 2.2.
The 39th ranked team in the world doesn't boast a high performance for the year. Aurora played everywhere they could, but everywhere they were "in the middle" at best.
Some of the standout performances are the ubiquitous CCT series tournaments, where Aurora did really well. For example, they won CCT South Europe Series #2 and CCT South Europe Series #3. If we talk about more prestigious championships, then everything was much worse there.
Aurora participated in BLAST.tv Paris Major 202: European RMR, and twice. And both times they failed the qualifying stage for the only Major, being ranked first TOP-11 and then TOP-6. They also failed to qualify for Gamers8 and IEM Sydney 2023.
- Aurora line-up: Lack1, Norwi, KENSI, lattykk, SELLTER .
Prior to the Long Convergence Roobet Cup 2023, the team made an appearance at the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023: European Qualifier. And again top 4.
Where they were lucky was at Skyesports Championship 2023: European Qualifier. We defeated TSM in the final, thus getting a slot to the main tournament.
Roobet Cup 2023 is going well for Aurora so far. The team made it through the group stage with confidence, leaving Heroic and Eternal Fire behind.
The ongoing Roobet Cup 2023 continues to be the centrepiece of the 2023 tournament for the club. In the first round of the play-offs, Aurora stepped over OG very confidently, outscoring them 2-0.
However, Roobet Cup 2023 remained one of Aurora's main, if not the main, achievement. The team managed to make it to the play-offs and semi-finals before being knocked out by Monte.
Then there was a series of not very successful local tournaments. These included CCT Central Europe Series #8, with a top 8, CCT Online Finals #4 with a top 16, Pari, Please with a top 6 and finally qualifying for BetBoom Dacha with a top 4.
Aurora made their debut at CCT Onilne Finals #5 with a match against ALTERNATE aTTaX. The Germans were unable to put up a fight and Aurora advanced to the next round without a single problem, giving their opponent only 9 rounds per match.
In the semi-final match Aurora faced sAw. The Portuguese gave a great fight, but they were not enough for more than one card. After Aurora played G2 and what should have been at least a bo3 ended in a clean win for Aurora.
Aurora Mapple
Some of Aurora's best maps include Anubis and Overpass. The former has 6 cards and 100% wins, while the latter has 5 cards and 100% wins.
Next is Inferno with 13 matches and 10 wins. Nuke (7-4) and Ancient (3-3) are playing.
Worst of all is Vertigo. There are 2 defeats there.
History of head-to-head meetings between BIG and Aurora
Aurora and BIG have played each other twice before: at Roobet Cup 2023 and BB Playlist. Freedom. Both times Aurora won.
Predicted result of BIG vs Aurora at CCT Online Finals #5
This match should be the cherry on the cake and the main decoration of the game day at CCT Online Finals #5. I expect an even fight and a full-fledged Bo3, but at the same time I believe in the victory of BIG.
Bottom line: BIG wins.
