Hangzhou Spark enter this match with a 0-2 record and in desperate need of wins if they wish to end the OWL Countdown Cup qualifiers inside the top four. The Spark haven’t achieved much of late and don’t seem like a very stable team, so it is hard to see them downing Chengdu Hunters.<\/p>\n

Although Hangzhou pulled off a 3-1 win against Chengu when they met last back in June, we don’t believe they can do it again. We have to trust the in-form Hunters to get it done with at least two maps to spare.<\/p>\n

LONDON SPITFIRE vs PARIS ETERNAL OWL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

OWL Betting Odds:<\/td>\nSpitfire $3.71 at GG Bet<\/a> | Eternal $1.24 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

London Spitfire are 0-2 in the Countdown Cup qualifiers with 1-3 losses against Toronto Defiant and Dallas Fuel. It was not exactly a promising start, but the Brits have been improving and came close to upsetting both of their previous opponents.<\/p>\n

Paris Eternal enter this match with a 1-1 record, which isn’t terrible, and you have to show some respect for their 3-2 win against Dallas Fuel. However, it’s hard to be overly excited about Eternal’s 1-3 loss against Boston Uprising in the previous round.<\/p>\n

The Eternal should have won that match but threw away their leads – a concerning trend with this team. What’s more, Paris Eternal seem to rely way too much on Pharah, which is something the Spitfire should have noticed and could take advantage of on Friday.<\/p>\n

FLORIDA MAYHEM vs LOS ANGELES GLADIATORS OWL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

OWL Betting Odds:<\/td>\nMayhem $3.12 at GG Bet<\/a> | Gladiators $1.33 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nAugust 13, 2021 at 17:00 CDT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Florida Mayhem enter the final week of OWL Countdown Cup qualifiers with a 1-1 record. They lost against Atlanta Reign (2-3) on Saturday but bounced back with a 3-1 victory against Boston Uprising a day later.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Gladiators have managed the same 1-1 record this stage, with a 3-0 win against Washington Justice and a 2-3 loss against Paris Eternal. Results-wise, there is not a lot to set these two sides apart, although you have to value Mayhem’s victory against the Reign a bit higher.<\/p>\n

The Gladiators are priced as heavy favourites, which might make sense since they seem to enjoy playing in the current meta. If their recent performances are any indication, this team should have a very high ceiling. The problem is that they lack consistency.<\/p>\n

This might sound like a hot take, but the Mayhem are good enough to win here. They have shown that they can deliver with multiple compositions, and as long as they can enable Jun-ki “Yaki” Kim and Sang-bum “BQB” Lee, Florida should be able to claim the win.<\/p>\n
