CS:GO SlateOverview
CS:GO Matchup#1: Team Vitality (-275) vs BIG (+200)
We were lucky enough to see ZywOo and Vitality take on syrsoN and BIG just a few days ago on a CS:GO slate, but with the latter’s victory in the lower bracket versus OG yesterday, we get a rematch in the CS:GO Summit (EU) finale. Vitality will start the series with a 1-0 lead having come from the upper bracket and the two teams will only ban one map each, followed by alternating selections in a Best of 5. While both teams typically ban Train first, BIG will likely use their ban on Vertigo and let Vitality ban Train. This means we will see four of Nuke, Mirage, Overpass, Inferno, and Dust2. While BIG does have superior depth in terms of which maps they’ll be able to win on in a Best of 5, Vitality’s 1-0 lead may be hard to overcome; BIG did pull it off versus G2 in the DreamHack finale when they beat them 3-2 (in reality 3-1 since G2 had a 1-0 lead) but G2 doesn’t have ZywOo. I’ll split exposure here and run multiple 2-1 stacks from both sides or go for a full 3-man stack paired with players mentioned below, because if there’s any team in the world that I refuse to count out in a Best of 5 down 1-0, it’s BIG.
Top Plays(BIG): ZywOo ($9,800), shox ($8,200), RPK ($6,200) or apEX ($7,200)
Top Plays(VIT): syrsoN ($8,600), tabseN ($7,800), XANTERES ($6,400) or tiziaN ($5,600)
CS:GO Matchup #2: Evil Geniuses (-600) vs GenG (+350)
The second matchup of the CS:GO slate sees EG taking on GenG in the CS:GO Summit (NA) finale. GenG is coming off a shocking win over TL in the bottom bracket to reach the finale, where they’ll be down 1-0 to EG since they came from the upper bracket. Both teams typically ban Overpass first so we’re likely to see EG use their ban on Mirage, meaning we’ll see four of Nuke, Vertigo, Inferno, Dust2, and Train. As much as GenG has impressed in their recent victories versus 100 Thieves and TL, I don’t see how they’re able to beat EG in a Best of 5. CeRq, along with Brehze and Ethan have all been playing tremendously in the past month; CeRq specifically has a 1.21 K/D and 0.73 kills per round over the last month, including going positive (K/D differential of +1 or more) on 13 straight maps, dating back to June 20th.
Top Plays: CeRq ($7,600), Brehze ($7,000), Ethan ($6,800),stanislaw ($4,800)
