Shotzzy Over 59.5 Kills vs. Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 (-115 via DraftKings)
Friday, May 16th, 12:00 p.m. Pacific
Shotzzy comes into this match tallying at least 60 kills in each of his last 11 matches. In fact, he has eclipsed this mark in 28 of his team’s 35 total matches during the entire regular season. Impressively, the young submachine gunner has topped 100 kills four times this year.

OpTic has faced Guerrillas M8 three times this season. Shotzzy has cleared this prop in all three with an average of 90 kills. He scored 104 kills against Los Angeles during their Major I qualifying match early in the season.
With OpTic going off as the favorites at -550 to win this match, there is a very good chance we see Shotzzy lead the charge for Texas. As such, he should leave plenty of casualties in his wake in the process.
Carolina Royal Ravens Over Minnesota RØKKR (+100 via DraftKings)
Friday, May 16th, 12:30 p.m. Pacific
The Carolina Royal Ravens enter this week 1-2 so far in the Major IV qualifiers. However, both of their losses have come by way of two of the top four teams in this round. In the middle of those losses came a convincing 3-0 win against Boston Breach. They are 20-17 overall in the regular season and in sixth place in the standings.

Minnesota RØKKR is also 1-2 during this qualifying round. Although, the path to their record is not all that impressive. They earned their only win against last place Los Angeles Guerrillas M8 who haven’t won a match since the middle of March. Their most recent loss came at the hands of the Vegas Falcons who have won only two matches all season.
Carolina has a 2-1 advantage in this head-to-head series leading Minnesota 7-5 in overall games. The Royal Ravens hope to avenge their 3-1 loss to RØKKR in the Stage 3 Major tournament last month.
Boston Breach +2.5 vs Los Angeles Theives (-135 via DraftKings)
Friday, May 16th, 2:00 p.m. Pacific
Both of these teams have gotten off to a rocky start in this qualifying round. Both are 1-2 entering this matchup and each of them has suffered at least one shutout loss. The Thieves opened the round with a 3-2 loss to the Miami Heretics. They followed that up by getting swept 3-0 by Atlanta FaZE. Los Angeles has only been able to beat the Vegas Falcons so far which is not that difficulty of a task.
Meanwhile, Boston has had a roller coaster ride over their course of its three matches. The Breach started out with a firm 3-0 beating at the hands of Carolina. They answered by handing OpTic Texas their only loss of the round in a 3-2 shootout. That momentum did not last long as Boston found itself on the wrong end of another 3-0 loss to Vancouver.

The season series favors Boston 2-1 overall with the Breach holding a 6-4 advantage in total games in their head-to-head matches. Los Angeles has been the hotter team overall for this season. However, Boston should be able to pick up at least one map in this match to cover this spread.
