Match Prediction: Vega Squadron - GoodJob | CS2 (CS:GO)
StarSeries i-League Season 5 CIS QualifierIt is difficult but still possible to define the favourite of the meeting.
At first let’s have a look at the World Top represented by HLTV.org. In the rating of 100 Best CS:GO Teams, Vega Squadron are located on the 36 place, while their opponents GoodJob hold the 90 position.
We can’t ignore the fact that the teams are at different levels of playing. From the moment of their formation, GoodJob managed to get only one win becoming the winners of Stream.me Gauntlet - CIS vs EU #13 where they got a reward of $1,000. Vega Squadron took part in the biggest Major tournaments many times and also became the champions of such tournaments as CIS Minor Championship - Kraków 2017, China Top 2017 - Kunshan and China Top 2017 - Shenzhen. GoodJob earned ~$12,500 within the time of their existence, while Vega Squadron’s profit if ~$215,000.
At the moment, both opponents are having bad times. Yesterday one of the players of GoodJob left the organization for FlipSid3 Tactics. Vega Squadron recently excluded two players from their roster. Nikolay «mir» Bitiukov and Sergey «keshandr» Nikishin are in reserve and go to transfer. On 18 April, Vega found the replacement for one of their players and signed the ex-player of pro100, Igor «crush» Shevchenko. Now both Vega Squadron and GoodJob have 4 players in their rosters instead of 4 as it must be.
But unlike GoodJob, Vega Squadron have Artem «Fierce» Ivanov as a coach. He knows all the tactics and strategies of the CS:GO roster and can play as a stand-in until Vega find the fifth player. This fact is an advantage for «sharks» for sure.
If we look at the winrate of both collectives, we can say for sure that GoodJob and Vega Squadron have an unfavourable situation. GoodJob played at 8 official matches in April and won only at 2 out of them. The percentage of the Belarusian collective equals 25%. Vega Squadron played only at one match in April where they lost against HOLLYWOOD during the current CIS qualifier.
Taking into account all the facts, we think that you can make a bet on Vega Squadron to avoid a big risk. We recommend you to put a bet of a minimum size. Despite all the obvious advantages of Vega Squadron (the 36 place in World Top and complete roster) the CIS stage can be very unpredictable especially if we talk about the teams of the level.
At the bookmaker’s centers, the coefficients of Vega Squadron’s win are 1,65 and less, while GoodJob’s coefficient reaches 2,10 and exceeds it. In this case it will be great to put a bet on Vega Squadron of 3% from your bank. The chance of Vega’s win is rather high and in case of the win you can get a profit of ~160% depending on the choice of the bookmaker which is a good result for sure.
