Match Prediction: Vega Squadron - Spirit | CS2 (CS:GO)
FACEIT Major 2018 Main QualifierSInce May this year the rosters have met twice and both of the cases resulted in the win of the guys from Team Spirit. The last meeting between the teams was held on the 26 of June at the qualifiers for DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 and there somedieyoung and Co won over their opponent by the score of 16:09 on the map “cache”.
In 2018 год Vega Squadron visited only three LAN tournaments and the guys couldn’t take more than 5-6 position at none of them. Now the guys hold the 211 place in the world rating according to HLTV, that states the level of the collective currently. Crush and Kibaken joined the team, but it resulted in nothing. Perhaps the team will be able to surprise at the Major tournament, but now they look like the candidate for 0:3.
Meanwhile, Team Spirit look confident recently and now it is clear that the guys are preparing for the main championship of this half of the year. Within several last months “Dragons” took the second place at ESEA Season 27: Global Challenge, GG.BET Majestic and CIS Minor Championship - London 2018. The guys got placed on the 36 place among professional teams according to HLTV and the are unlikely to leave the stage “New Challengers” without a win.
Bookmakers think that Team Spirit are favourites of the competition and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.7, while the triumph of Vega Squadron is evaluated as 2. We will also lean towards “Dragons”, as Crush and Co are in a bad shape while Spirit are stronger even if we take a look at their last meetings.
