In a Blaze
In a Blaze with div0 veteran fix might be the strongest team on paper for this matchup. I don't see them having problems with the kenya maps, but their lack of prac and their dependency on their starplayer might be this teams achilles heel.
Cross Defenders
Cross Defenders have probably been the most active team in div2, playing a lot of pracs against any available opponent, they have however slowed down a bit the past week. If they step up and practice some kenya, I believe they stand a good chance of taking this one home.
Conclusion
Even tho I think that Cross Defenders should be able to win this with some more kenya practice, I'm still going to pick In a Blaze for this. They seem to have a good teamplay and if fix is on fire, the ID maps should be theirs.
Expected lineups
In a Blaze: fix, henri, melody, nancy/ rage
Cross Defenders: Goqsane, kopytk0, MajQ, Maks
Previous encounter
2-1 (dm3: 147-119, cmt4: 164-178, dm2: 172-137)
Expected outcome
In a Blaze, 3-2
