The key factor will be economic discipline, where Aurora excel. A victory for Aurora on the first map is critical to create psychological pressure. In the end, Aurora are likely to win the match against PaiN.
The match between Aurora and Pain promises to be interesting, but considering the current form of the Aurora team, Pain has a chance to win. Despite Aurora being stronger in terms of player skill, their recent performances raise doubts. Pain, despite their own difficulties, have the potential and adaptability to impose their game and win a map. However, it is more likely that overall Aurora will still emerge victorious thanks to their high-class players and ability to show up in crucial moments. Thus, Aurora remains the favorite, but Pain may bring some unpleasant surprises.
