Prediction on match CS2 Cloud9 - Vega Squadron

The teams faced for the last time at ELEAGUE Major 2018 about nine months ago and then, Cloud9 appeared to be stronger, who beat its opponent with a score 16:04 on de_mirage, however, this result can be not considered as both teams have already changed a part of the roster.

Vega Squadron failed the whole 2018 and managed to visit only StarLadder & ImbaTV Invitational Chongqing 2018, cs_summit 2, and ELEAGUE Major 2018 over the past eight months, where didn’t place higher than 5th-6th. In April, the organization decided to make changes and crush and tonyblack joined the team, who didn’t make a benefit.

At FACEIT Major: London 2018 - New Challengers Stage, “the Sharks” surprised a lot absolutely everyone and had a chance to advance to the next stage with a score 3:0 but the guys lost to Team Liquid in additional rounds. As a result, Crush and the company finally advanced to the next stage, however, with a statistic 3:2. It’s worth to notice that the team had placed 211 in the world rate before the Major tournament and held 195 places higher after the end of the first stage.

In its turn, Cloud9 isn’t in an optimal shape as two players have recently joined the team and they have not been able to come up with some kind of a gaming style. The team participated in ESL One: Cologne 2018 and ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 but the guys were not able to pass the group stage at both of them. The team got to this stage with a help of a direct invitation due to their victory at ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018.

Bookmakers consider the North American team to be a favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.8, while Vega Squadron’s triumph is evaluated as 2. We prefer “the Sharks” as they have shown a good game at New Challengers Stage and Cloud9 will play their first match and it’s unclear what to expect from them.
