CS:GO SlateOverview
CS:GO Game#1: FaZe (-125) vs Team Vitality (+110)
The first game of the CS:GO slate sees two teams that are some of the best squads in the world. FaZe beat Vitality 2-0 earlier in the week behind NiKo’s +10 performance on a 44-34 K/D, but Vitality has since bounced back and has been playing very well. Vitality bans Train 100% of the time while FaZe bans Vertigo at a 74% rate and I’m confident those maps will be avoided altogether. Given Vitality’s pick of Nuke didn’t pan out earlier in the week, it’s possible that they turn to Vertigo instead, although I still do think they stick with the former, while FaZe will surely pick one of Dust2 and Mirage. FaZe will avoid Overpass on the next turn of bans, while Vitality will ban whichever map FaZe does not choose, leaving Inferno as the map leftover. Either way, I see FaZe repeating this week’s earlier performance and are elite targets, but I’ll be have a few Vitality 2-man stacks given how well they’ve been playing and wouldn’t be surprised to see them win 2-1 here.
Top Plays(FaZe): NiKo ($8,600), broky ($8,000), coldzera ($7,200)
Top Plays(VIT): ZywOo ($9,000), shox ($7,000) or RPK ($5,600)
CS:GO Game#2: MiBR (-120 PK) vs Evil Geniuses (-120 PK)
In the rematch of an earlier series from this week, MiBR takes on EG. While the public was on EG, we rode MiBR to victory last time out and this CS:GO slate is no different. MiBR bans Nuke at an 85% rate, which is also EG’s best map, while EG might get different with their expected ban; they can choose to ban either Dust2, Overpass, Vertigo, or Mirage, and it’s really hard to anticipate which one it will be. Similarly, MiBR can go a few different ways with their map choice; they’re likely to go with Dust2 if it doesn’t get banned, but if it does, I expect them to try their luck on Mirage rather than Train. One thing is for sure, EG will pick Inferno since it is the only map that they have a sizeable advantage over their opponents. I’ll take MiBR 2-1 here.
Top Plays (MiBR):Fallen ($8,400), fer ($8,200) or kNgV- ($7,800)
Punt: trk($4,800)
Top Plays(EG): CeRq ($7,600)
