Head to Head

Boston Breach and Minnesota RØKKR have met twice this season, in CDL Major 2 and, most recently, during CDL Major 5 Qualifiers. Both games ended with Boston Breach winning with plenty to spare (3-0, 3-1).

Boston Breach Form

Boston Breach performed well in CDL Major 5 Qualifiers, but they haven't accomplished anything spectacular. They defeated Minnesota RØKKR (3-1) in Week 1 and Florida Mutineers (3-0) at the start of Week 2 but then lost against Seattle Surge (1-3) and Atlanta FaZe (1-3) before securing their third victory of the qualifiers against the New York Subliners (3-1).

Boston Breach are a very difficult team to figure out. They can have days when they look very competitive, but every once and a while, they'll have terrible performances.

This lack of consistency is also the main reason why Boston Breach have yet to accomplish anything across the first four Majors – however, they finished CDL Major 2 Qualifiers in third and were runner-up in CDL Major 3 Qualifiers.

Minnesota RØKKR Form

Like Boston Breach, Minnesota RØKKR have yet to win a Major this season, but they came close in CDL Major 2, where they won a bronze medal. Since then, the RØKKR have struggled to accomplish much, with a ninth-12th place finish in CDL Major 3 and a fifth-sixth at CDL Major 4.

Even during the CDL Major 5 Qualifiers, the RØKKR didn't finish very high, but that doesn't mean they played poorly. Their only two defeats of the qualifiers came against the Breach (1-3) and Las Vegas Legion (2-3), which obviously isn't great, but I would put more focus on their last two games of CDL Major 5 Qualifiers, where Minnesota RØKKR defeated Los Angeles Thieves (3-1) and Toronto Ultra (3-2).

Two solid games don't make RØKKR a good team, but they indicate that Minnesota RØKKR have improved.

Verdict

Boston Breach v Minnesota RØKKR

Esports betting sites suggest that Boston Breach should defeat Minnesota RØKKR, and while it might happen, I expect a much closer game. Minnesota RØKKR have shown improvement in the final week of the CDL Major 5 Qualifiers, whereas Boston Breach haven't really gotten any better or worse throughout the stage.

This looks like a 50/50 match that can go to game five, so at the offered betting odds, the choice is obvious.
