This will mark DAMWON Gaming’s second clash with Nongshim RedForce of the tournament after they have already defeated their regional rivals during the group stage. In their previous meeting, RedForce held on well for the first 10 minutes but then struggled to keep up with DWG’s superior macro play in the mid and late-game.
This is a best-of-five (Bo5) series so it is reasonable to expect RedForce to secure at least one map if they continue showing the same form they have en route to the finals. However, the quality gap between these two sides is far too large for us to expect anything less than a clean 3-0 sweep for the reigning League of Legends world champions.

Guild Esports and Renault Vitality will clash on Saturday for the first time since the Rocket League Summit 2: Europe. Both of the previous meetings ended in Vitality’s favour who won with 4-3 and 4-2.
Not only have Vitality defeated Guild twice just under two weeks ago, but the French squad are also 10-4 up in the head-to-head this year. The only concern we have with Vitality is that they have won only one match in their last four outings, however, we have to give them some praise for narrow 3-4 losses against Dignitas and Giants.
This is Vitality’s game to lose and while we expect them to win, Guild never go down without a fight. In their last five meetings with Vitality, Guild lost by more than a goal only once, which is why we are siding with the outsiders to keep this one close.

Oxygen Esports will look to keep their wheels spinning as they enter what is billed as one of the tightest fixtures of the day. Oxygen hold onto four wins in their last five outings, and only one loss against Giants Gaming (2-3).
Endpoint, meanwhile are 2-3 in the same stretch with three straight losses against Giants (0-3), Dignitas (2-3) and Guild Esports (2-4). What’s more, Endpoint’s last fixture took place 11 days ago, whereas Oxygen were last active on Wednesday.
Oxygen have also beaten Endpoint in all of their last three meetings, so there is no reason to have them priced as the underdogs. This is an easy choice for us.

In their second fixture of the day, Renault Vitality will clash with Top Blokes for the first time since late August when Top won 4-2. The latest Rocket League betting odds suggest Vitality will get their revenge on Saturday and we can’t argue with that.
Even though Top field the same three players as they did when they crushed Vitality, it’s their poor form and lack of playtime that concerns us. They enter this match off a two-week break and are on top of that on a six-game losing streak.
Something is clearly not clicking in Top Blokes and until we see some improvement, we have to side with Vitality to take the win.

Considering Top Blokes’ struggles, there is a serious potential for an upset win. Wolves Esports might look weaker on paper, , but they’re at least in good form (10-1) which should give them a slight edge in this match.
Just over a week ago, Wolves managed two 3-2 wins against RLCS Season X – Fall: EU Major quarter-finalists FC Barcelona and if those results are any indication, they should do well against the shaky Top Blokes. A lot will have to go right for Wolves to win, but at $5.17, they’re worth a shot.
