Bucks Gaming vs T-Wolves Gaming
Bucks Gaming heads into their first-round matchup vs T-Wolves Gaming hot off of a miraculous run in the 3v3 STEAL OPEN where they took down Knicks Gaming to claim the title. To come out on top and get their revenge from the SWITCH OPEN, JohhnnyRed needs to be efficient from the field through the series to ensure that BearDaBeast cannot stay in front of him defensively. Moreover, he must dice up the defense and limit his turnovers to not allow T-Wolves Gaming to convert them into points on the other end. In addition, Dawsix has to meet the expectations and stifle Tutak on defense to hinder him from finding his niche on offense. If JohnnyRed lights up the scoreboard and Dawsix and the rest of Bucks Gaming answer the call on the defensive end of the floor, they win the series and send the T-Wolves to the elimination bracket.
After a sensational run in the SWITCH OPEN Tournament before eventually falling to Magic Gaming in the finals, T-Wolves Gaming storms into the 3v3 playoffs looking to knock off Bucks Gaming and send them to the lower bracket. To make this happen, Tutak has no choice but to be efficacious from the field in all aspects of the series in hopes of creating a daunting assignment for Dawsix on the defensive end of the floor. More than that, he must eliminate any offensive woes to keep the opposition from converting those mistakes into fast-break points. Lastly, BearDaBeast has to rise to the challenge and be in the chest of JohhnnyRed defensively so that he cannot light it up from downtown. If Tutak scores in bunches and T-Wolves Gaming creates a plethora of defensive stops, they capture the series victory and march forward through the winners’ bracket.
Prediction: T-Wolves Gaming defeats Bucks Gaming 3-2
