Dynamo Eclot and Copenhagen Flames will clash on Thursday in the first round of Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 Main Stage, marking their first meeting since CCT Central Europe Series #4 in December, when the Danes won 2-0. Copenhagen Flames have since played 15 matches and won all but five (10-5), whereas Dynamo Eclot have won just half of their 12 outings (6-6).
The Czech squad are 4-2 over their last six outings, which looks decent, but that run includes only wins against ECSTATIC (2-1), 00 Prospects (2-0), and two lower-tier teams in Eughxuls (22-18) and Turów Zgorzelec Esport (16-9). So even though Dynamo Eclot have been winning games, they only do well against weaker teams.
Copenhagen Flames are not the powerhouse they were in early 2022, but they’re still a tier above Dynamo Eclot, who have not shown anything noteworthy since their third-place finish at Global Offensive Champions League Season 2 in December.

BIG Academy made it through Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 Contenders Stage with a 3-2 record, but they’ve only beaten GTZ.ESPORTS and Turów Zgorzelec Esport (Team Falcons forfeited). Since then, the German squad attended the MistGames Heroes of Lofoten Closed Qualifier, where they won against Metizport (2-1) but were no match for 00 Prospects (0-2).
Endpoint were last seen playing at the end of January when they crashed out of Intel Extreme Masters Spring 2023 EU Open Qualifier #1 with a 10-16 defeat against Spirit Academy. However, they did well in the ESL Pro League European Conference a week prior, finishing the event one victory short of qualifying for ESL Pro League Season 17.
There are question marks above both teams. BIG Academy haven’t been playing well, whereas Endpoint have not shown anything too remarkable lately. So even though this is Endpoint’s game to lose, over 2.5 maps at $2.08 looks the right play.
