Matchup Analysis
A one-map test, with the map still undisclosed
This Roman Imperium Cup IX group-stage match is listed as a BO1, and the map has not yet been announced. That leaves little room to recover from a slow start or a poor map fit.
SourceRecent head-to-head results point in both directions
Lazer Cats won a 28–25 Anubis BO1 against SAW on Oct. 1, but SAW answered with a 2–0 series win on Oct. 3, taking Inferno 13–11 and Ancient 13–5. The recent meetings offer a reminder that the format and map can change the matchup considerably.
SourceA clear gap in the listed rankings
Dust2 lists SAW at #62 and Lazer Cats at #229, with the match lineups as MUTiRiS, story, NOPEEj, krazy and ewjerkz for SAW, and nikitea, Magic, Kiy0o, tripex17 and n0rths for Lazer Cats.
SourceBoth teams arrive with positive three-month records
SAW is 16–7 over its last three months, while Lazer Cats is 11–5 in the same period. Those records suggest Lazer Cats should not be treated as an easy opponent despite the ranking difference.
SourcePick Ideas
SAW moneyline as the straightforward lean
SAW is listed at 1.40, with Lazer Cats at 2.70. The favorite is the more defensible side, but keep the stake measured given the single-map format.
Conditional Lazer Cats play on Anubis
If Anubis is confirmed and the match-winner price remains around 2.70, a small Lazer Cats upset wager is worth considering: they have won 6 of 8 Anubis maps over the past six months. Skip this angle on other maps.
