As part of one of the upcoming Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 Contenders matches, such teams as Esports Club Kyiv and ECLOT will compete against each other. The teams are in the same weight category and an interesting confrontation is expected with their participation. Experts from bookmakers define Esports Club Kyiv as an implicit favorite in this confrontation and give them a coefficient of 1.75, which is equivalent to a 53% chance of winning.
The meeting will be held in Bo3 format. Is it worth betting on the victory of any of the teams here, or can you consider the option with a handicap or breaking through the total cards? I propose to get acquainted with the teams better and answer this question.
Esports Club Kyiv uniform
Esports Club Kyiv is on the 57th line in the world ranking, which was compiled by HLTV. In August, the team actively participated in various events, including both the ongoing Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 Contenders and two open qualifiers at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe. In the first case, the team won the fight against yodagus with a score of 2-1, and in the qualifying stages, the roster could not win either the fight against MOUZ or the match against 9INE.
Now, as we can see, the team's playing form is not the best, however, the Elisa Invitaitonal Fall 2022 Contenders got off to a good start and the trend of a good performance in the tournament can be maintained due to motivation.
As for the choice of cards, the main trump card in the team's sleeve is Inferno. There, for 14 meetings held, the team scored 9 wins, which is 64.3% of the win rate. The indicator is good. Not the best, but better than their performance on other maps. On Overpass Esports Club Kyiv they managed to play 12 times and have 58.3% of wins, but on Mirage their performance success is equal to 50%. The same performance of the team can be seen on Vertigo, where the team played 12 times. Ancient and Dust 2 are the weakest points of EC Kyiv, and the roster prefers not to play Nuke at all. The most interesting thing is that Dust 2 is the weakest map of EC Kyiv, but they continue to play on it.
It is noteworthy that the Esports Club Kyiv team was completed at the end of July and over the past time the players had enough time to play to some extent. So far, the results show that they have room to grow, but a month of playing together is already not bad.

ECLOT uniform
The 67th team of the world rating from HLTV, as well as Esports Club Kyiv, have not been showing the best results lately. They, among other things, also gave a good start at Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 Contenders, having won the debut confrontation with SKADE X. Although the meeting ended in victory for ECLOT, however, the triumph was not the easiest and the match took place on three maps, which suggests the thought of ECLOT's predilection for full Bo3 encounters.
With the exception of one held meeting within the Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 Contenders, the team did not take part in matches of other championships. The last time before that they performed more than a month ago as part of the ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe Relegation.
As for the band itself, it was completed in April with the arrival of Martin 'Dytor' Handl. More than four months have passed since that moment, which means that the esportsmen have had enough time to come up with some interesting developments.
As for the choice of maps, ECLOT likes Inferno just like Esports Club Kyiv, however, the history of their performances on this map is more successful than that of their opponents. For 10 maps played, the team won in 8 cases. Mirage is the top 2 ECLOT cards and in 16 games played, the victory came in 10 cases, which is 62.5% of the win rate. They can also feel good on Ancient ECLOT, because there the percentage of wins is 60.0%.

Conclusion
Except for the fact that Esports Club Kyiv played three times in August, this team does not particularly attract me and I can understand experts from bookmakers who, although they define this team as a favorite, do it with extreme caution. ECLOT has really good chances to win.
Due to the fact that both teams love to play on Inferno and have been noticed that they often play full-fledged Bo3 matches, I would still bet on Total Cards over 2.5 in this case. Considering the high probability of passing this bet and the generous odds of 1.87, this market looks quite attractive. Betting on the victory of one or another team is essentially a coin in this case - the chances of passing are 50%.
Final bet: Total over 2.5 cards with a coefficient of 1.87
