*Match of the Week
This season the Match of the Week (MOTW) games are picked by our casters and head admin. Every single one of them will pick 1 match that sticks out the most in their eyes and give their reasoning of why You should not miss it! Here are their picks for this week’s MOTW games:
“My choice for this week’s MOTW is going to be MightyWolves vs FiGURE05 (27.08 20:00)! Both teams haven’t lost a single match this season yet and this is the time that someone will have to lose their first game, there is just no way around it! Despite the fact that MightyWolves did look a bit shaky in their last game against ayned, it is still pretty hard to see which one of these two will suffer their first defeat as they both are unbeaten! Will Latvians be the ones furthermore stabilizing in the top 4? Or will FiGURE05 be the unbeatable force of BESL Pro Season 2? Definitely tune in on Monday to find out!”
“My this week’s MOTW is WASD Sports vs 1337HUANIA (28.08 19:00). This is a true battle between two titans of BESL Pro as WASD Sports are Season 1 regular season champions and 1337HUANIA are Season 1 overall champions! Despite WASD Sports currently not sitting in the top 4, this match should be packed with timed executions, crazy retakes and solid mechanics all over the place. If anyone wants to learn a thing or two about CS:GO then this match is certainly the place to do exactly that as it should be a sight to behold!”
“For my pick of this week’s MOTW I have chosen none other than NotLikeThis against wolsung (27.08 21:00)! For longest of times NotLikeThis has been in the shadows of Lithuanian CS sitting behind 1337HUANIA guys, but last week’s upset victory against WASD Sports, combined with another one against Season 1 runner-up team SkinLordz, has definitely put them on my radar! As for wolsung - do they really need an introduction? For me this is the most skilled Latvian roster in Baltic eSports League and with that in mind - I’m just curious of how far can they go based on their level of raw skill, game sense and ability to work as a unit!”
As always - all the games that are labeled with the tag “STREAMED” are going to be brought to you on our YouTube channel by our lovely Latvian casting duo of Renārs “Emvy” Dzintars and Renārs “Veneficus” Šēnfelds!
