CS:GO - ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018 - the New Challengers Stage day 3 - overview and simple predictions

Predictions for day 2

Daily Pick'em contest by tylersr on Steemit

New Challengers Stage day 3 matchups:

Flipsid3 vs. AVANGAR

• 50/50, but if F3 keep playing like in the first two matches, they probably won't make it: they need to hit their shots, AVANGAR was fragging better overall than F3, so if they get this rolling F3 probably can't stop them
• AVANGAR played both of their matches on mirage, which would be a good map for F3
• winner prediction: AVANGAR (F3 out of the Major)

Flash vs. EnvyUs

• 50/50 and probably decided by the map pick, even though Flash looked slightly better on inferno than EnvyUs on cache
• flash with good shots, but also with bad individual decisions and plays, which made them lose the match against QBF, and which could help EnvyUs to win this
• winner prediction: EnvyUs (Flash out of the Major)

Quantum Bellator Fire vs. FaZe

• > uhm... do we really need to elaborate this? ;)
• well i guess so now :D ... FaZe just doesn't look on point as if they didn't really prepare and just tried to rely on their skill, you saw how they were outplayed by Vega's game plan on inferno yesterday
• they're one of the most skilled teams of this stage and the tournament as a whole
• FaZe took on 2 of the stornger teams of this stage and now faze (:D) one of the weaker ones
• i think they've woken up now after the Vega game and are more focused
• winner prediction: FaZe

Renegades vs. Liquid

• tbh i haven't watched most of those two teams matches, so just a gut feeling here
• winner prediction: Liquid (even though Liquid plays 4vs5)

Misfits vs. Space Soldiers

• almost the same as above: just a gut feeling here
• i have just seen how Misfits got destroyed by G2 yesterday
• winner prediction: Space Soldiers

Sprout vs. Natus Vincere

• both teams won their first matches (Sprout>SpaceS, NaVi>QBF) and lost their second ones in crushing fashion (Sprout</li>
• the only surprise in this 4 games was Sprout's win over Space Soldiers, and NaVi shattering defeat against mouz (i thought mouz would win, but 16-2 ... i mean ... come on)
• but assuming that Sprout just sucks and NaVi is a better skilled team i would say:
• winner prediction: Natus Vincere

Vega Squadron vs. G2

• Vega looking strong. G2 looking strong. Dis gonna be gud. i hope for a inferno mapvote
• G2 seems unstoppable since their second half against Flash
• both teams need their best form to win today, and since G2 is playing so good:
• winner prediction: G2 (G2 to Legends Stage)

mousesports vs. Cloud9

• both teams without big problems (warming up on their first days, doing great in their second matches)
• 50/50, my heart says mouz, but i'll decide for C9, just a gut feeling again
• winner prediction: Cloud9
