Prediction on match CS2 LDLC - Sangal

LDLC and Sangal will vie for a spot in the ESL European Championship Winter 2020 semi-finals. The winner of this match will face one of the Endpoint - Elites pair. But it is this meeting that deserves the most attention at such an early stage of the championship.

LDLC form

The 60th World Ranking Team introduced Maka and Keoz. The first was the leader of Heretics, which fell into oblivion a month ago. Well, the Belgian was one of the best K23 players, so it was only a matter of time before he got promoted. The team finished their season in third place in ESEA MDL Season 35 Europe Relegation, in which they beat Lyngby Vikings (2: 1), Movistar Riders (2: 0) and 9INE (2: 0). Nevertheless, the team completed the task and qualified for ESEA MDL Season 36 Europe.

Best LDLC cards:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Train - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 60% wins.
• Inferno - 57% wins.

It should be noted that the French team does not practice Mirage. But as for the pick, LDLC will try to pick Vertigo, where it greatly prevails over the opponent.

Sangal form

The 45th team in the world ranking has already started in January, having beaten Unique (2: 1) in Shadow League Season 1. Nevertheless, the Turkish team experienced a whole scattering of problems that almost turned victory into defeat. And it is this meeting that leaves room for thought about the team's capabilities against the backdrop of a serious opponent.

Best Sangal cards:

• Inferno - 100% wins.
• Nuke - 83% win rate.
• Train - 67% wins.

However, Sangal has several issues with the Vertigo and Overpass cards. And if the team simply does not play on Overpass, then the Turks have not yet been able to win on Vertigo.

Forecast for the match LDLC - Sangal

I expect a lot from this LDLC roster. Looking at the personalities, the roster is capable of becoming a strong TIER-2 team. Sangal, on the other hand, is in a transitional phase of construction, where failure is part of the foundation. And right now, given the start of the season, the Turkish team is most vulnerable to defeat. The team almost lost to weak Unique, questioning the level of preparation for the season. Therefore, I want to look at the French as a favorite and bet on the LDLC team to win with odds of 1.75.
