Match Prediction: Natus Vincere - mousesports | CS2 (CS:GO)
ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018At the moment, Natus Vincere is at the top of its shape and this is their special and only advantage. Now, they have a series of seven victories and the best of the best were the teams that haven’t withstood the CIS team’s pressure: Astralis, Fnatic, BIG, Cloud9 and others. Also, Natus Vincere has a series of three won tournaments. They prevailed at such events as StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 5, CS:GO Asia Championships 2018 and ESL One: Cologne 2018. They earned $125,000, $150,000 and $125,000 for victories in these championships, respectively. If Natus Vincere manages to advance to the playoffs, they will be able to earn enough amount of points to overcome Astralis in the world rate and to become the best CS:GO roster in the world by HLTV.org.
Mousesports have recently made a replacement on its roster. They removed STYKO and signed Snax, a Polish ex-player of Virtus.pro, who brought fresh ideas to the team and improved the team’s condition. At ESL One Cologne 2018, mousesports performed bad enough due to the fact that Snax was not able to spend enough time at training sessions with his teammates. Mousesports have good chances at this tournament and it’s not worth to discount them. In the previous match, they managed to beat one of the strongest CS:GO teams in the world, FaZe Clan. In the match against Natus Vincere, they will also be able to win. Mousesports is one of the obvious favorites to get to the playoffs, despite lots of viewers may not agree.
Despite all pluses and advantages of mousesports, Natus Vincere has more chances to win as they are on the top of their shape and are a team that hasn’t made changes to its roster since the moment of the signing of electronic, which adds more confidence in their victory. They won three tournaments, have seven victories in a row and mousesports are unlikely to stop their win streak, also, Natus Vincere has more than enough motivation at this tournament. An interesting fact is that the first match at this tournament was finished with Na’Vi’s victory. This team is famous for losing the first match at all LAN tournaments. Now, this roster is so strong that has won even the first difficult match against of the Swedish top-teams, Fnatic.
Due to this, we think that Na’Vi will achieve the second victory in their group and go to the playoffs. This match may be not so easy for them as mousesports also prevailed in the first match and the Europeans will be able to win one map but Natus Vincere is likely to prevail in the match.
We recommend betting on the CIS roster but a sum of your bet should not be bigger than 5% of your bank.
