Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1:
Natus Vincere is the main favorite of the match, which should have no problem gaining the first points at the European RMR. The level of the opponent is too low. The victory of Natus Vincere with a handicap by rounds (-7.5) is quite possible, and also looks like a good option to bet.
Natus Vincere is not playing its best game right now. The team was able to make the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 16, but the game of “born to win” looked weak. Only through luck were the guys able to make the playoffs. After all, Natus Vincere won only two games out of five in the group stage. That’s the worst record of all the teams that made the playoffs. In the knockout rounds, the Ukrainian team managed to defeat Heroic, but lost to G2 Esports.
In the last EPL match the whole team (with the exception of s1mple) looked bad. This defeat was the fourth in the last five matches. Such bad statistics the team did not show for a long time. True, it is worth noting that at the European RMR Natus Vincere will be easier. The level of the opponents at the tournament is noticeably weaker than the non-EPL. As for the upcoming match, NaVi must get rid of Vertigo, Ancient and Overpass. Given that the opponent does not play Inferno, for “born to win” will remain their three strongest cards, which in a bo1 match will completely suit the team.
Illuminar has been on the CS:GO tier-2 scene for a long time, but the team has not been able to achieve any serious results. The team has won four of its last five matches, but before that it had a series of failures, which managed to win only one match out of eight. And in recent matches, the team has only beaten very weak opponents and various academies. Of course, against Natus Vincere it will be very difficult. The Ukrainian team must easily win on any of the cards, but also the cards will be the most uncomfortable for the Poles. NaVi will leave their three strongest maps and Illuminar will have to choose between Nuke, Mirage, where they have 33% of wins and Dust2, on which the team has 55% of successful games. Either of these maps looks bad for the Polish team. It is unlikely to be able to offer serious resistance. Especially considering that NaVi will approach this match seriously, remembering the recent failures at ESL Pro League Season 16.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
NaVi: Boombl4, Sdy, electroNic, Perfecto
Illuminar: mASKED, morelz, reatz, EXUS, TOAO.
electroNic from NaVi and mASKED from Illuminar are our highlighted players in the match.
