Meeting statistics

The current form of BIG

BIG are the favorites to win this game, with odds of 1.52 on Ramenbet. Their competitors have odds of 2.4 to triumph.

They only placed in the top 20 when they competed at IEM Katowice 2024. Prior to competing in the ESL Pro League Season 19, the German squad participated in the BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown and placed eighth; they placed fourth at Skyesports Masters 2024 and Thunderpick World Championship 2024 after that. BIG made it to the playoffs at the ESL Pro League Season 19, but they were eliminated quickly and ended up in the top 16. They participated in several smaller events before the BLAST Premier, such as IEM Dallas 2024 (top 8), YaLLa Compass 2024 (top 12), and CCT Season 2 European Series #5 (top 8). They competed in BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024 as well, placing in the top 9–12.

At the IEM Cologne 2024, BIG achieved an unsatisfactory result: they were in the top 17-20 there. They later went to BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2024 and placed in the top eight. BIG didn’t make much progress at the ESL Pro League S20; they placed in the top 16. Additionally, they participated in CCT Season 2 European Series #12 and placed top-16, as well as YaLLa Compass Summer 2024, where they placed eighth. BIG broke the run of bad results at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2024 by placing second.

Big won their group at the Thunderpick World Championship 2024. Their journey there didn’t last long, though, as they placed in the top 8 at the end of the competition. An appearance at the much more localized YaLLa Compass Fall 2024 followed when they also placed in the top 8.

The current form of Sashi Esport

Sashi Esport is one of the teams that are most likely to be at the very bottom of the standings at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B competition. The Danes participated in the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 and the IEM Chengdu 2024 tournaments in 2024, placing in the top 64 at both. They made two unsuccessful attempts to earn a spot in the Chinese tournament.

Sashi participated in a number of C-Tier competitions, including European Pro League Season 15: Division 2, where they placed top 16, and United21 Season 11, where they placed top 6. The mid-year triumphs at the ComeOn Nordic Showdown and the far more important YaLLa Compass Spring 2024 were Sashi Esport’s best performance and results. And for them, that’s essentially the conclusion of the season’s notable achievements. Sashi placed in the top 15 at YaLLa Compass Summer 2024, top 6 at ESL Challenger League S48: Europe, and top 15 at YaLLa Compass Fall 2024 before coming to PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR.

Head-to-head

The two sides haven’t played one another in formal games before.

Match analytics

We anticipate that BIG will win this match. Even though we think the German team should defeat Sashi in their first game, we’re pretty sure they won’t advance very far in the tournament. The Danes will impose some fight here, and betting on a bit larger total number of rounds is our piece of advice.

Tip: Total Number of Rounds – Over 21.5, with odds of 1.83 on Sportaza.
