Gentle Mates vs All Gamers Match Analysis
Gentle Mates have had a decent run at the tournament so far. They won two of their group stage matches but unfortunately lost their first playoff series to Nongshim RedForce after a very close contest. That defeat sends them down to the lower bracket, where they now face elimination.

On the other side are the sole survivors of the Chinese region, All Gamers, who were demolished by G2 in their opening playoff match. All Gamers could only find 10 rounds across two maps in that series, and even though that was the only match they’ve played at the event, their performance wasn’t too inspiring.
In terms of veto analysis, All Gamers chose to ban Haven and pick Split in their recent series against G2. If they were to follow the same approach, Gentle Mates wouldn’t really mind. The EMEA side would be free to pick Pearl, which has been one of their strongest maps so far.
Even if All Gamers decide to pick Split once again, Gentle Mates should feel comfortable. Though they are yet to play Split at this event, they have a 100% win rate on the map this year, taking down BBL Esports, Fnatic, and FUT in the EMEA Kickoff. In all three Split games, not a single opponent got more than 6 rounds against Gentle Mates.
Overall, it’s clear that Gentle Mates enter this series as the favorite. They have significantly more firepower and have already played three matches where they looked like a serious contender at the tournament.

Gentle Mates vs All Gamers Betting Picks and Predictions
Due to the firepower, form, and veto discussed above, we have multiple reasons to back Gentle Mates in this elimination series. Gentle Mates’ marteen has continued to look like the best individual player at the tournament, and with easier opponents lined up, it feels like he’s going to farm All Gamers.

We predict an easy victory for Gentle Mates, with a 2-0 very much on the cards. Unfortunately, we believe China’s run ends here.
