Projected score: Aurora 13–9 BIG

Group: A

Format: BO1

Confidence: Medium to high

HLTV’s EWC group reveal listed Aurora at No. 8 and BIG at No. 28.

Aurora’s lineup includes XANTARES, woxic, Jimpphat, kyxsan and Wicadia, providing a combination of star rifle power and experienced AWPing.

Why Aurora Are Favored

The ranking gap is meaningful, but the player matchup matters just as much.

XANTARES remains capable of taking over individual halves, while woxic gives Aurora an experienced primary AWP option.

BIG’s lineup includes tabseN, JDC, faveN, blameF and gr1ks. There is enough experience there to punish Aurora if the favorite starts slowly.

BIG’s Upset Route

BIG need the veto to produce a map where their structure matters more than Aurora’s raw mechanical ceiling.

They should also aim to prevent XANTARES from repeatedly taking favorable opening duels.

If BIG reach the later rounds with a stable economy, the BO1 can become much closer.
