Match Prediction: Torqued - Windigo | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESEA Season 27 MDL Global ChallengeThe collectives have never played with each other as they represent different regions and rarely get to major championships.
Torqued are players of the middle level from North America and hold the 32 position in the world rating according to HLTV. In 2018, the guys managed to take the 5-6 position at cs_summit 2 and the 3-4 place at iBUYPOWER Invitational - Spring 2018. The roster also made it to DreamHack Open Tours 2018 and ESL One: Below Horizonte 2018 with the help of the qualifiers in North America.
At the moment the team Windigo Gaming hold the 28 position in the rating of the best teams of the modern professional stage according to HLTV and they are a stable European roster. In 2018, the players managed to win CSGOFAST.COM Cup #3, to get the second place at ForceDrop.net Cup #1 and to take the third position during Copenhagen Games 2018.
The bookmakers think that Windigo are favourites of the competition and set the coefficients of 1.5 while the triumph of the collective from North America is evaluated as 2.6. We think that Torqued are not worse than the Bulgarians and the results of the battle in the Bo1 format will depend on the picked map. But we lean toward Windigo's win as their play shape is very good.
