Invictus vs. TyLoo, Preview and Predictions - CS:GO Betting Picks, 7/19/20

CS:GO, Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020, 14:00 CET, Sunday, July 19

The Grand final of the Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020 is presenting us a Best of 3 duel between Invictus (China) and TyLoo (China). The winner will get $25,000 and 2000 RMR Points, while the loser will have to settle with $20,000 and 1875 RMR Points.

Invictus (#75 World Rank) is entering this encounter as massive underdogs, but they are actually one of the rare teams that can beat the favored TyLoo at this tournament. I am saying that because Invictus is one of the hottest CS:GO teams at the moment, and they proved that in the semi-final against ViCI. They destroyed ViCi 2-0 and dropped just 14 rounds in the process. Invictus won ten of the previous 11 matches and are on a seven-game winning streak, while they have a 79.2% win rate in the past three months.

Invictus were excellent on Dust2 (85.7%) and Mirage (81.2%) in that span, while Nuke (40.0%) turned out to be the only map with an under .500 win percentage. Invictus’ current lineup consists of DeStRoYeR (0.99 Rating), 0i (1.02), xiaosaGe (1.09), Viva (1.07), and flying (1.12). This lineup played together on 71 maps since April 2020 and has a record of 47 wins and 24 losses.

TyLoo Team Stats and Latest Results

Talking about the red-hot teams, TyLoo (#50) are in a fantastic form right now as they won each of the last ten matches and 14 of the previous 16. Along with one draw, TyLoo failed to beat only one team in that period – Invictus! Since that loss, TyLoo are unstoppable as no team managed to win a single map. They have an 82.6% win rate in the last three months and are even better than Invictus in that segment.

In those three months, TyLoo are invincible on Dust2 and Vertigo and were great on Mirage (88.2%), while they were the weakest on Train (55.6%). TyLoo’s current lineup consists of Summer (1.10 Rating), Attacker (1.09), somebody (1.07), SLOWLY (1.12), and DANK1NG (1.23). This lineup played together on 52 maps since May 2020 and has a record of 40 wins and 12 losses.

Invictus vs. TyLoo H2H Record

These rivals have met on two occasions before, and it was in space of just five days in June. The current record is tied at 1-1, and Invictus won the previous encounter 2-0 in the group stage of the Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020, defeating TyLoo on Train and Inferno.

Invictus vs. TyLoo Betting Preview

Although the bookies gave TyLoo the absolute favorite tag, I am not convinced they will secure a comfortable win here. Invictus proved they can beat TyLo, and they are actually the only side that defeated them in a long time. Considering Invictus’ form of late, I think they will cause problems to the favored opponents in this one. I am not saying they will get a win and the first place, but they are more than capable of winning a map.

The Pick: Map Handicap +1.5 Invictus (-130 @LOOT.BET)
