Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-1.5) for Cloud9 – 2.27.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Maps Under 2.5 – 1.66.
Cloud9 is in great form, even though the team lost to BIG in the previous tournament. The Outsiders, of course, are surprising everyone with their results, but are still clearly inferior to their rivals in the class. Apart from that, the Outsiders have managed to play only two maps well.
In three of Cloud9’s four matches, the game was played on two maps.
Cloud9 is in good form at the moment and it is no coincidence that the team is in the fourth position in the world rankings. They have been doing very well at recent tournaments and have even been champions at some of them. Last time, they took part in the Roobet Cup and reached the semi-final stage.
However, as a clear favourite, Cloud9 unexpectedly lost (0-2) to BIG and failed to take more than 12 rounds on any card. It is worth mentioning that Cloud9 is now most confident in the Mirage, where they have exactly 71% of the win rate.
The Outsiders sit 16th in the world rankings and have not had any outstanding results for their fans for a long time. In fact, the team performs at the tier 2 level and is unlikely to qualify for high positions in the near future.
Although not so long ago there were changes in the squad and now the team is playing a little better than before. In this event, the Outsiders managed to defeat Imperial (16-16), and they also proved their superiority over BIG with a score of 2-0.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Cloud9: HObbit, Ax1Le, nafany, sh1ro, interz.
Outsiders: Jame, Qikert, FL1T, n0rb3r7, fame.
sh1ro from Cloud9 and Qikert from Outsiders are our highlighted players in the match.
