SportsGamers,
Tonight we'll be kicking off the ECL '23 Winter Lite Finals with a banger of a series! Pirati Chomutov Esports and Project X will be battling it out this week with games 1-3 tonight, followed by the rest of the series on Wednesday. A total of 1600€ will be split between both of these teams, who have claimed a spot in the Pro division for next season. Who will hoist the trophy, though?

REGULAR SEASON RECORD
23-2-1 vs 20-5-1
In the Finals this season we'll be in for a clash of two rather different schools of hockey. The Central European super squad Pirati Chomutov are running a fast style of transition hockey, whereas Project X can do that also, but tend to resort to a more traditional style of buildup play. As a player who went up against Pirati Chomutov Esports in the Semifinals and ended up being outmached, I have to admit, I was unfamiliar with their game. The confidence that team is able to attack with at the moment is extremely difficult to counter, and their ability to utilize a second wave of attackers jumping in on the rush is unlike anything else in the Lite division this season.
Project, on the other hand will definitely be able to match Pirati in terms of production, with a drastically different style as iterated before. @JesseL2002 has been an important cornerstone and definitely one of the biggest transfers ahead of the season. Experience will definitely be a factor in the favor of Project X, and they'll need to utilize that in order to adjust their play according to what Pirati will show offensively early on in the series. At times, @Easygame20 has been able to keep Project X alive in the playoffs, and he will be a player to keep your eye on throughout the series.
Prediction: 4-2 Pirati Chomutov Esports
