Aurora have been one of the standout teams of the tournament and enter this quarter-final with momentum firmly on their side. The squad has won five of their last six matches, picking up victories against Falcons, Team Liquid, Tundra Esports and Xtreme Gaming along the way.
LGD Gaming have also looked strong, but their recent schedule has been noticeably softer. While wins over Team Liquid, Team Yandex and Xtreme Gaming deserve respect, Aurora have consistently beaten higher-caliber opposition and have shown they can perform under pressure against the tournament favorites.
The recent head-to-head meetings also favor Aurora. They defeated LGD Gaming 2-0 during DreamLeague Season 29 and followed that up with another victory during BLAST Slam VII. Those results suggest Aurora have a good understanding of how to approach this matchup and exploit LGD's weaknesses.
Aurora's aggressive style has caused problems for nearly every team in the event, and their current form is difficult to ignore. With confidence high and recent results backing them up, they look like the stronger side heading into this playoff clash.
