GamerLegion vs. Selectah Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/28

GamerLegion and Selectah are facing in the Swiss round 2 (teams with a 0-1 record) of the Nine to Five 2, and GamerLegion is firm favorites in this best of three map clash. These sides have never met before.

The European team GamerLegion qualified to this tournament with 2-0 wins over HONORIS, but they failed to reach the playoffs of the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 4 and suffered a 2-0 defeat to Syman in the opening game here. GamerLegion won two of the last ten games and has a 34.8% win rate over the past three months. In that span, GamerLegion showed the best results on Overpass (42.9%), while they failed to impress on Inferno (25.0%) and Dust2 (33.3%).

Selectah played their first-ever match and lost 2-1 to Excellency in a tight game, but showed promise and could cause problems to GamerLegion in this duel. Excellency was better on Inferno before Selectah responded on Dust2; however, the underdogs couldn’t cope with the favored Excellency on Train and suffered a defeat in the end.

Pick: GamerLegion to win (-227 @1xBet)

GamerLegion must respond to a 2-0 loss to Syman with a win in this game, and if they fail to beat the rookies Selectah, they don’t deserve to reach the playoffs at this tournament. Selectah showed they can make the things interesting and resist the favored opponent, so I don’t expect an easy win for GamerLegion. That’s why I don’t recommend backing the favorites to cover the handicap, but you can bet on them to get a straight win.
