G2 Preview
HLTV World Ranking: 2nd
G2’s only loss in this tournament was its opening match against North Gaming. The French team has reinvented itself as it seeks to establish a structure and put forth a strong performance on a regular basis.The biggest upset for CS:GO fans for this tournament was G2’s victory over Natus Vincere. When G2 blanked Na’Vi 2-0, it was a team effort led by nexa and huNter-. The fact that the veteran AWPer, kennyS was able to match their enemy’s firepower only helped their cause.Mirage, Nuke and Vertigo are the strongest maps for G2. The team has developed a unique playstyle on Mirage which involves a mixture of aggression and passive defense.The confidence of the G2 players will be crucial to the team’s performance in the Grand Finals. The French players have a one map advantage, which should give them a massive advantage over their opponents.
BIG Preview
HLTV World Ranking: 24th
The German team of BIG is one of the surprise teams in the tournament so far after victories over teams like FaZe Clan, Complexity and Mousesports.The veterans of tabseN and tiziaN continue to put forth a strong performance on an individual level. The players have a great understanding of their opponents’ positions and use this to their advantage.Overpass is the only map where BIG has a severe disadvantage. However, they are very strong on the rest of the maps. The team has lost only one match in the last five matches.
Pick: G2 Spread/Handicap -1.5 Maps (-150 @ Bovada)
G2 has a one-map advantage due to coming from the upper bracket. They need just two map wins while BIG needs to take three maps in this battle. I like G2 to hang on for a win of at least two maps. They're the better team and I trust them to handle business and cash this spread for us.
