CS:GO SlateOverview
CS:GO Matchup#1: Singularity (-275) vs SJ (+225)
The first matchup on the CS:GO slate sees the first of two heavy favorites, Singularity, taking on SJ. The former comes in with a better form ranking than their opponent and is also higher ranked at #81 compared to SJ’s #176 ranking. Singularity bans Train first at a 48% rate while SJ bans Overpass first 56% of the time so it’s unlikely we see either one here. SJ has their preferred map banned, but it’s unknown which direction they’ll take given how few maps they’ve played in the last 3 months; given Singularity’s reluctancy to play on Inferno as much as possible, I think SJ picks it. Singularity with then counter with their preferred map choice, Nuke, where they have a 67% win rate albeit being in only 3 maps played. Singularity should roll here even without Jabbi in the lineup; stand-in nicoodoz has been playing nicely in his short tenure with Singularity and has a 1.19 K/D and 0.71 kills per round over the past month and is +28 on 166-138 since joining the club last week. Celrate and his 1.07 K/D and 0.70 kills per round is another top target on the CS:GO slate; the two are expensive pieces to our lineup but should lead the charge in a 2-0 Singularity victory.
Top Plays: nicoodoz($9,000), Celrate ($8,000), Remoy ($6,600)
CS:GO Matchup#2: Budapest Five (-650) vs ttc (+375)
The second matchup on the CS:GO slate is an even bigger mismatch than the first, with B5 taking on ttc. B5 holds all the map advantages and should cruise in the series; they’ll surely select Mirage with their pick while ttc can turn to one of Overpass or Dust2, but neither one presents a viable option for them to steal a map. Both torzsi and kory are the only members of the team with a 1.00 K/D or better in the past month, however it’s the former that pulls away from the pack with a 1.16 K/D and 0.77 kills per round. Although coolio is the lowest priced player on the team, he’s my favorite target for the third spot in our B5 stacks with a 0.99 K/D and 0.61 kills per round. While neither statistic is overly impressive, his 1.25 K/D on Mirage is what interests me here and is an example of why it’s important to focus on which particular maps will be played in a series when constructing your CS:GO lineups.
Top Plays: torzsi ($8,400), kory ($9,600), coolio ($5,600)
