GamerLegion vs. HONORIS Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/20

GamerLegion and HONORIS will meet in the Group A opening match of the Nine to Five 2 Dawn, and GamerLegion are favorites in this best of three map encounter. These sides have never met before.

The European team GamerLegion haven’t played many games in the last three months and their current lineup has played together on just nine maps. After winning the first five, GamerLegion lost the next four matches and have a weak 35.3% win rate over the past three months. In that period, GamerLegion have been average on Overpass (50.0%), while they were winless on Dust2 and displayed below-par performances on Train (25.0%).

HONORIS are in a disastrous form of late as they lost even 11 of their previous 13 matches, and are on a four-game losing streak. That horrific form is the biggest reason why the Polish side is an underdog in this encounter. Following a win over Endpoint at the Eden Malta Vibes Cup 2, HONORIS suffered four consecutive losses and have a miserable 24.0% win rate in the last three months. In that span, HONORIS failed to go over .500 on any map – their best results were on Vertigo (40.0%), while they have been weak on Nuke (22.2%), Mirage (25.0%), and Train (27.3%).

Pick: GamerLegion to win (-172 @PINNACLE)

Even though HONORIS have more experience, I am backing GamerLegion because they are playing in a better form recently. Unlike HONORIS, who lost each of the previous seven maps and managed to win 10+ rounds in only four, GamerLegion’s last three defeats were narrow ones. We might have a maximum of three maps here, but I am going with the favorites.
