CS:GO Slate Overview
Game #1: CR4ZY (-300) vsLilmix (+225)
The first matchup of the CS:GO slate sees CR4ZY taking on Lilmix, where the two squads face off for the second time this month. While Lilmix did pull off the 2-1 upset last time, I don’t see a repeat performance here, but just like any other 2-game CS:GO slate, make sure you’re hedging your lineups in large field contests. CR4ZY bans Dust2 first at an 86% rate while Lilmix bans Vertigo first 50% of the time. CR4ZY holds a significant advantage on Nuke and Overpass, while also having a slight edge on Mirage, while Lilmix posts better win rates on both Inferno and Train. It may not be the most convincing win, but I’ll take CR4ZY to take the series; SENSEi leads his squad with a remarkable 1.31 K/D over the past month to go along with 0.74 kills per round and is a premier target here. Sergiz is the second man in our stacks; his 1.13 K/D and 0.73 kills per round are both some of the best available to us on the slate and he has a good ceiling for tournament play.
Top Targets: SENSEi($9,400), Sergiz ($7,800), DemQQ ($7,000)
Game #2: Orgles5 (+200)vs Excellency (-275)
The second game on the CS:GO slate has Orgles5 taking on Excellency in the battle of two unfamiliar squads. Excellency has the better form ranking and is higher ranked at #130 in the world. Both teams have had limited action as of late, with both squads only playing a total of five maps in the past month; Excellency’s last series was 3 weeks ago and Orgles5’s last series was back in the last week of June. With such few maps played in the past month, we’ll be looking at the players’ past three to gauge our top targets: Holmes tends to lead his squad in victories with a 0.93 K/D and 0.65 kills per round in the past three months – yikes! With such poor statistics across the board, I’m willing to take a shot on rilax and NK4Y next; the two have K/D ratios of 0.86 and 0.84, respectively, but rilax carries the higher KPR on the team at 0.66 over the past three months while NK4Y has gone +1 or better in his last 4 maps played. On the flipside, jayzaR is the clear target for O5; he has a 1.40 K/D and 0.91 kills per round in the past three months – albeit the small sample size, the statistics are impressive nonetheless. The rest of the team’s statistics get real ugly, real fast, but feel free to take a shot on Ping in large field tournaments, who has a 0.93 K/D and 0.65 KPR in the past three months. No disrespect to either squad, but both teams are pretty bad so make sure to have shares of both sides in MME, including playing two from one team and using a one-off from the other.
Top Targets (EX): Holmes($8,800), rilax ($8,000), NK4Y ($6,200)
Top Targets (O5): jayzaR($8,400), Ping ($6,400)
