Match Preview: ROUNDS vs Glitchtech

The ESEA Main Playoffs continue in the Upper Bracket for both of these unbeaten teams with Season Finals on the line.

ROUNDS have now beat “Amo”, “WeWillWin”, and “Enjoy1” in the playoffs, and are looking for a fourth consecutive W against “Glitchtech”. Last night the team also picked up our first Elisa Open victory of the season, stomping over Elite Klan 2-0. Alas, no rest for the wicked, tonight we must go again.

So what makes this game so massive? The winner of today’s match indeed advances to the Season Finals of ESEA, which have HLTV and VRS coverage. There is a prize pool of $35,100 in total, and they also provide a path to the ESL Challenger League. This would be yet another major feat for the in-form ROUNDS side.

With the significance of today’s battle on the server given justice, let’s have a look at the opponents. Glitchtech have obviously also gone on a similar winning streak as ROUNDS to get to this point, but are there any conclusions we can draw about their results? Well, in the regular season they finished with 10 wins and 4 losses and managed to beat the likes of Elite Klan and WeWillWin, but fell short to Horizon Esports. To compare to us, we beat all three at some point in this current cycle. Their average Faceit ELO sits around 3.3k, similar to ROUNDS.

Also worth mentioning that they beat lollipop21k‘s “Minsk House” in their first matchup of the ESEA Main Playoffs.
