Match Prediction: North - Rogue | CS2 (CS:GO)
FACEIT Major 2018 Main QualifierThe collectives haven't met before as they're from different regions and Rogue visited LAN tournaments rarely.
Rogue changed their captain and in-game leader at the end of May this year and they started to have improvements - the team got the second place at the tournament DreamHack Open Austin 2018 and Americas Minor Championship - London 2018. Now the collective is placed on the 30 place in the world rating and have already defeated Space Soldiers at the championship, but they couldn't win over Astralis and Team Spirit.
Meanwhile, North won DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 approximately two weeks ago and got to Top 4 Best Teams according to HLTV, but that resulted poorly for the guys - the collective didn't change their strategies and lost against HellRaisers and Team Spirit at FACEIT Major: London 2018 - New Challengers Stage. Further they had a win over над Virtus.Pro, but the Polish were the worst team at this championship.
The bookmakers think that North are clear favourites and set the coefficient equal to 1.3, while the triumph of Rogue is evaluated as 3.3. We agree with the opinion, but we will lean towards Rogue, as they have had the chance to get the win from Astralis and showed that they knew how to play against the Danish and MSL and Co have clear game problems.
