Match Prediction: Mythic - Brazen | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Challenger League Season 42: North AmericaIn one of the upcoming matches, which will be held on September 1 as part of the ESL Challenger Season 42 North America, Mythic and Brazen will fight. According to betting experts, the teams have almost the same chances of winning. Mythic win odds are 1.70, which equates to a 55% chance of winning. This is not too big an advantage, and therefore I propose to analyze the game form of the participants in order to understand who it would be better to bet on here.
Game form Mythic
Now Mythic are on the 130th place in the HLTV rating, however, the line-up of the roster looks more or less interesting. Here is a veteran of the American CS:GO scene freakazoid and fl0m and Cooper and a couple of other players.
As for the game form, the first thing that catches your eye is that the team took part in official matches in August only once. On the 25th, the team took part in the current ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America and lost in the fight against TeamOne with a score of 0-2.
Before that, the team took part in official matches only in June. I note that the team performed with varying success and lost more often than won, and therefore it is logical to assume that the roster is not in the most optimal gaming news, but this should be looked at in comparison with their opponent in the next match.
As for the mappool, it is quite sad. On Inferno and Overpass, the team has a 66.7% win rate, which is not too much. On Mirage, Dust 2, Vertigo and Ancient, the team did not win a single victory, and on Nuke the team did not play at all.
All this suggests that Mythic do not look like the strongest team.

Brazen Game Uniform
Brazen are next to Mythic in the list of the best CS:GO teams in the world according to HLTV - the roster took 129th place. As for the last matches played, I am pleased that Brazen had seven official meetings in August. They performed at ESEA Summer 2022 Cash Cup 4 North America, and tried to get to IEM Road to Rio 2022 through the North American open qualifiers, and took second place at EGL Premier Season 3, and even had one meeting as part of the ongoing ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America. In addition, Brazen scored 4 wins in 7 matches played.
The team prevailed in the fight against Limitless, Kari, Electrify Steel and Davenport University, but could not defeat Gas Money, Gaimin Gladiators and timbermen.
What earns respect from Brazen players is the mappool. It looks much better against the background of Mythic. Yes, the team performs well only on Mirage and Nuke, but there their percentage of wins is 83.3% and 75%, respectively. The teams performed there 6 and 4 times respectively. On Overpass, Inferno, Dust 2 and Ancient, the statistics are much sadder. There, the roster has less effective performances and, as a result, a win rate of 42.9%, 40%, 33.3% and 0%, respectively. On Overpass they played most often, namely 7 times. Inferno, Dust 2 and Ancient fell on the fate of Brazen a little less often - 5, 3 and 3 times, respectively.
In general, Brazen looks more convincing than Mythic.

Conclusion
For me personally, players from Brazen look more confident in this case. Surprisingly, the betting experts put them here as the underdog of the fight, and not the favorite. Without going into alternative markets, I think that here you just need to limit yourself to winning on Brazen. No exact scores, Handicap on cards, Total cards and other things. Just a win for Brazen. The odds on this outcome equate to 2.08, which is pretty good, and the probability of their victory, in my opinion, is much higher than 45%.
Final bet: Brazen to win at odds of 2.08
