Match Prediction: BIG - OpTic Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)
cs_summit 3The rosters have already met at cs_summit 3 in the upper and then, BIG appeared to be stronger, who beat its opponent with a score 2:1.
BIG is in a good shape and have been playing stable enough in the recent time - during the autumn, the guys managed to place 5th-8th at FACEIT Major: London 2018 and StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 6, which brought them the 9th place in the world rate by HLTV. At this championship, the roster was stronger than G2 eSports and OpTic Gaming but was not able to beat NRG eSports.
In its turn, the guys from OpTic Gaming have been lacking something for a long time and they have decided to make a replacement on the main roster - niko has come instead of gade. After the replacement, the team started playing much stronger and already achieved the 3rd-4th place at StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 6 and an advancement to the final of the online-tournament GG.BET Shuffle. At cs_summit 3, the roster managed to beat Ghost Gaming and prevail over compLexity Gaming twice, however, BIG was stronger.
Bookmakers consider BIG to be a controversial favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.7, while OpTic Gaming’s triumph is evaluated as 2.1. We think that the teams are equal but we will prefer the guys from BIG due to the result of the last personal match.
