They\u2019re in good form, and the place in the bracket they were put in might be the best for them to make it to the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SAW: Portugal\u2019s Dark Horse on the Rise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ag1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ag1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ag1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ag1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ag1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ag1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Team SAW &#8211; Andr\u00e9 &#8220;Ag1l&#8221; Gil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At their opening match, they lost to <strong>3DMAX <\/strong>with a score of <strong>0-2<\/strong>, and it was questionable whether they could make it to the playoff stage. However, fans didn\u2019t have to wait long, as they won the next three matches against <strong>NiP<\/strong>, <strong>GamerLegion, <\/strong>and <strong>Aurora<\/strong>. All three matches ended in a <strong>2-1<\/strong> score, and each match featured a map that went into overtime. This shows that this team is not getting tired, regardless of how long the match lasts. <strong>Ag1l <\/strong>seems to be their star, whom they rely on, as he is their best player in this tournament, leading his team to victories with his consistently good form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>aragornN<\/strong>, who joined this team back in June, was also at the top of the scoreboard together with <strong>Ag1l <\/strong>in a match against <strong>Aurora<\/strong>, who was the strongest opponent so far at this tournament, and it\u2019s a good sign for the least experienced piece of the team to be able to put this performance when it\u2019s needed the most. They seem to be in great form, but we have yet to see how they perform on a big stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SAW\u2019s Star Ag1l Reflects on the Team\u2019s Momentum<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/agagagagag.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/agagagagag.png 591w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/agagagagag-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/agagagagag-150x88.png 150w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/agagagagag-450x263.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liquid vs SAW \u2013 Quarter-final Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While both teams appear to be at the same level, the big stage experience plays a key role in a match like this.
