Match Prediction: Space Soldiers - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Pro Series Season 2: IstanbulThe last time when the collectives met happened at ELEAGUE Major 2018 в in January this year so we should not take the match into account as a lot of eSports time has passed and Cloud9 got bogged down in reshuffles.
The team have performed poorly recently and that resulted in the 39 place in the world rating. At FACEIT Major: London 2018, the collective couldn't get any win but the team didn't play with the full roster - the current coach of the roster hardstyle played instead of ngiN. At this championship, the roster will play against Virtus.Pro on the map “Dust 2”, and it must be a good variant for the Turkish players as they have 100% winrate there in three last months. But we should take the fact that they played only twice there into account.
Meanwhile, Virtus.Pro have performed worse at FACEIT Major: London 2018 and it was known at the tournament that byali would leave the team. “Bears” lost all the three matches at Major and now they hold the 28 position in the world rating. The newbie was morelz, and at the last matches of ESEA MDL Season 29 Europe the collective won two maps out of three. On the map “dust”, they perform awfully and despite the fact that in three last months NEО and the team lost twice and won twice on this map - it is still the worst for VP.
Bookmakers think that Space Soldiers are the favourites of the battle and set the coefficient equal to 1.5, while the triumph of Virtus.Pro is evaluated as 2.5. We agree with the opinion of bookmakers and will also lean towards the Turkish players.
