Aurora Gaming vs Tundra Esports - BLAST Slam VII

Aurora arrive here in blistering form. Four wins in their last five matches, including scalps against Liquid, Yandex, and OG, prove this is no fluke run. Their 69% half-year winrate backs up what the eye test already tells you: this team is playing with genuine confidence right now.

But Tundra have a problem Aurora do not. A 38% winrate in the last month is alarming for a team entering an elimination match. They went 1-3 in recent BLAST opposition, losing to Yandex, Falcons, LGD, and BetBoom. The only win came against Glyph. That is not the form sheet of a team ready to dig in.

The one stat that keeps this honest is Tundra's 58% overall winrate and their position as the top earners in the half-year standings at $960,500. The ceiling is real. The talent is real. However, form beats pedigree in single-elimination, and right now Aurora are the sharper team at the sharper time. Tundra's slump is too steep and too recent to ignore.
