Ambush vs. Tricked Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/8

Ambush and Tricked are facing in upper bracket semi-final of the ESEA Advanced Season 34 Europe, and there are no favorites in this Best of 3 tilt. The winner will clash Secret or sAw in the upper final. It’s going to be the first-ever H2H meeting.

The Danish side Ambush managed to avoid the third consecutive defeat with a 2-0 victory over TheDice in the previous round of the tournament. They didn’t have to play in the next round because Apeks forfeited that match and Ambush advanced to the Upper semis. Ambush won four of the last seven matches and has a 43.5% win rate over the past three months. Ambush displayed strong performances on Overpass (72.7%) and Train (60.0%), while they didn’t play well on Dust2 (16.7%) and Nuke (33.3%).

Their compatriots Tricked played only 11 matches with a new lineup but recorded a pair of wins over CR4ZY and Sangal in the last two, both at the ESEA Advanced Season 34 Europe. Tricked needed time to develop chemistry after losing seven consecutive matches, but now are looking better even though they have a 27.3% win rate in the last three months. In that span, Tricked were unbeaten on Nuke, Overpass, and Vertigo, while they didn’t taste a win on Mirage and Dust and played badly on Train (16.7%).

Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (-112 @GG.BET)

Although I am giving a slight advantage to Ambush because they have a bit more experienced team and excellent Ryxxo, who has a 1.21 rating in the last three months, I am not going to bet on the winner. Following some difficulties since the formation of the current lineup, Tricked showed quality in recent matches and I can see them winning at least one map here. Even if they go 1-0 down, don’t think they are not good enough to bounce back. I am going with a maximum of three maps in this all-Danish encounter.
