Match Prediction: SKADE - MAD Lions | Counter-Strike (CS2)
Pinnacle Cup #3SKADE and MAD Lions will play in the third round of Pinnacle Cup III. Again, the Bulgarian team began to show a good game, but this is all a temporary phenomenon. And now MAD Lions looks quite good, which clearly does not correspond to the layout of the coefficients.
Form SKADE
The 18th team in the world ranking has not been spoiling the results lately. However, the day before, the Bulgarian team managed to crawl to the finals of the TWR Eastern European Masters Spring 2022, where they still lost and did not go to BLAST. And in the Pinnacle Cup III, the team does not stand out much, if we start from the defeat in the game against KOVA. Therefore, I don't think that SKADE will be able to put MAD Lions on the shoulder blades, having obtained a dry victory.

I note that the Bulgarian team stopped playing on the Vertigo map a long time ago.
Form M.A.D. Lions
The 67th team in the world ranking is forced to play without sdy, which is replaced by Buzz for now. I won’t say that the team is doing absolutely everything, but so far it looks decent. Another thing is that in the Pinnacle Cup III the team had problems, namely the starting defeat from Endpoint. And yet further MAD Lions woke up a bit, winning several matches on the side.

At the same time, the team also refuses Vertigo.

During the last season, the teams held two meetings:

But since then, the teams have changed their lineups.
Prediction for the match SKADE — MAD Lions
I do not think that the Bulgarian team is able to close the meeting with a score of 2:0. First of all, MAD Lions looks great right now. Secondly, SKADE must be tired after the weekend where they played a lot of matches. And do not forget about the rumors that hover around the Bulgarian team. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap (+1.5) for the MAD Lions team.
