Nordavind vs. Gambit Youngsters
Gambit Youngsters come in as the favorite to win this match against Nordavind. Despite the odds, I actually think Nordavind have the potential to make this an even game, or potentially even upset the Russians. TENZKI is the top player on the side of Nordavind, as he leads the team with a K/D ratio of 1.04 since HS and NaToSaphiX joined the roster back in February. However, I would be tempted to play HS or cromen, as they are more than capable of putting up numbers at a much lower price point.
On the side of Gambit Youngsters, it is all about sh1ro. The young Russian has amassed a K/D ratio of 1.44 with 0.79 kills/round in 2020, making him one of the best up-and-coming AWPers in the world. Ax1le is the second-best option on the team, and he is great value thanks to nafany over-performing in recent matches.
Nordavind Players to Target: TENZKI ($8,800), HS ($7,800), cromen ($5,800)
Gambit Youngsters Players to Target: sh1ro ($10,400), Ax1le ($6,400)
SKADE vs. Heretics
I have no idea what is going on with the pricing in this matchup. As one of the worst-performing players on SKADE, there is just no way that Rock1nG should be priced as high as $12,800. Rainwaker is coming in as the lowest-priced player on the entire slate, which is also ridiculous. SKADE will be an underdog in this match against

Rainwaker is coming in as the lowest-priced player on the entire slate, which is also ridiculous. SKADE will be an underdog in this match against Heretics, but I would certainly look to have some exposure to both Rainwaker and dennyslaw, who are grossly undervalued.
ScreaM's younger brother, Nivera, has made headlines with his recent performances for Heretics, and he is definitely a solid play Monday. However, one of the players who I like the most is kioShiMa, who is great value at $6,000. Another great one is the former G2 player, Lucky. He may not have been one of the big-name players during his time on G2, but he has thrived on this Heretics roster. He was one of the stand-out players alongside Maka on the old Heretics roster, but unlike Maka, his stats have not taken a hit since Nivera's arrival, currently leading the team with 0.77 kills/round and 0.20 assists/round in the last eight games.
SKADE Players to Target: Rainwaker ($4,000), dennyslaw ($5,400)
Heretics Players to Target: Nivera ($9,600), kioShiMa ($6,000), Lucky ($8,200)
