The playoff stage of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2022 continues. The teams are fighting with might and main to reach the final, where they will have the opportunity to receive the main reward in the form of $25,000 and invitations to Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 with a prize pool of $200,000. This time we will talk about one of the quarter-final matches of the final stage, in which HEET and MASONIC will take part. Bookmaker experts define HEET as a clear favourite, but is it really so? I propose to look in more detail at each of the participants and summarize.
Game form HEET
HEET is made up of interesting representatives of French CS:GO such as bodyy, Lucky and others. Veterans of the shooter discipline have been showing mixed results lately, and HLTV rates their game so well that they put them in 28th place in their ranking of the best CS:GO rosters. HEET recently took part in the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference. There, the team won three matches in a row and beat Encore, HUMMER and Falcons. However, in later matches that took place within the ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe, the team failed to beat SAW and Entropiq and left the competition, finishing 7th-8th there. The matches took place a few days ago, which may indicate the relevance of their playing form.

Game form MASONIC
Not the most famous players in the Danish region play in MASONIC. However, the team has been showing good results lately and HLTV believes that the 64th line is a great place in their top of the best CS:GO teams in order to place the Danes there. In recent days, namely today and yesterday, the team performed on the professional stage and showed an excellent performance, which indicates a good gaming shape for MASONIC at the moment. The team has a series of three. They beat SKADE, PACT and UNGENTIUM. The same SKADE, for example, can be safely equated with HEET in terms of strength.

Conclusion
If you look at the latest matches, you can see that MASONIC are in good shape now. HEET have the advantage of a good map pool, which translates into good performances on Inferno and Dust 2 on average. MASONIC, on the other hand, loves Nuke and can show a good game on Overpass, according to the statistics. The teams have not played each other recently, which can also be important in making a decision regarding a bet on this match. In general, I would like to believe in the unconditional victory of HEET, but I am confused by the recent performances of bodyy and his teammates. Knowing how MASONIC is playing now, I would still lean towards the Handicap market +1.5 cards in favor of notaN and his teammates. Experts from bookmakers estimate the chances of HEET winning at ~64%, which is equivalent to a coefficient of 1.45. I think they are less likely to win. Bookmakers give ~1.50 odds for MASONIC to win at least one map. I think this ratio is not bad and I agree with the fact that the Danes have a chance not only to pick up one card, but also to defeat HEET, although this can be extremely difficult.
Final bet: Handicap +1.5 cards in favor of MASONIC with odds of ~1.50
