Match Prediction: G2 Esports - Cloud9 | CS2 (CS:GO)
FACEIT Major: London 2018The last match between the above-mentioned teams was hosted at ELEAGUE Major 2018 about eight months ago, however, we will not consider the result as too much time has passed and both organizations have changed the rosters.
Cloud9 made two replacements on the main roster and their shape is far from perfect - it had been clear before the tournament that the team would not be able to fight for high places and the team was considered to be one of the main favorites for an elimination with a score 0:3 at the LAN finals. STYKO and the company lost to Vega Squadron and HellRaisers at New Legends Stage and the only victory was brought to them by the guys from Winstrike. By the way, Winstrike had been also initially considered to be the main underdog of the Major tournament and the roster has already left the championship.
In its turn, G2 eSports followed Cloud9’s path and replaced a few players on the main roster too, after which was not able to reach the tier-1 level. The team plays very bad and would be unlikely to pass the Minor if they had to, however, some bright moments appear in the team’s play sometimes due to a high individual play of some esportsmen. At FACEIT Major: London 2018 - New Legends Stage, the French managed to prevail over HellRaisers in additional rounds and lost to compLexity and MiBR without a chance.
Bookmakers prefer the team G2 eSports, offering odds for their victory in the sum of 1.75, while Cloud9’s triumph is evaluated as 2. We think that the French team has more chances to win the match because Cloud9 looks too weak and there are rumors that this is the last tournament for this roster of Cloud9.
