Match Prediction: fnatic - mousesports | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL One New York 2018The match between the teams Fnatic and Mousesports will be held as a part of the tournament ESL One New York 2018 up to two wins. The group stage will be taking place by GSL system, so the losing collective will not leave the tournament but will get to the lower bracket where they will still have one more chance to get to the playoff.
Before the rosters met approximately two months ago at the tournament ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 and then the meeting resulted in the victory of 2:1 for Mousesports.
The team Fnatic holds the 14 place in the world rating and is getting lower and lower. In several last months the collective participated in five Majors, but neither of them brought them anything more than the 5-6 position. At the last FACEIT Major: London 2018, the roster took the 9-11 place and wasn't able to get the status “Legend”, so the management decided to sell flusha’s contract to Cloud9, and his place will be taken by ScreaM at the further tournaments.
Meanwhile, Mousesports also failed at FACEIT Major: London 2018, taking the 15 -16 position there. Before the roster had got the 3-4 position at DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 and ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018, that resulted in the 7 place in the HLTV rating for the European mix. Despite unsatisfactory results at the last Major tournament, the team decided to have no changes in the active roster.
Bookmakers think that Mousesports are the favourites of the battle and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.65, while the triumph of Fnatic is evaluated as 2.15. We agree with the opinion of bookmakers and will lean towards Snax and the team as they have been playing together for a longer period of time.
