Match prediction
It is difficult to single out a favorite of the match, since both teams are doing well in the tournament, Army Geniuses are in 4th position in the group rating with a score of 2-1-2, and Hokori are in 7th position with a score of 0-1-2. However, for the latter, this is not a very interesting tournament, since they have already qualified for the group stage of The International 2022. I would venture to assume that Hokori will take one map for sure.
Result: Handicap + 1.5 on Hokori
