Vici Gaming vs. Lucid Dream Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/17

Vici Gaming and Lucid Dream will face each other in the Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020. The Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020 is a Regional Major Ranking event and includes the best Asian CS:GO teams in action. In addition to RMR points, the tournament also has a $100,000 prize pool with the first-placed team receiving $25,000 in prize money.

Vici Gaming finished second in the group stage of the tournament. The team is ranked 66th in the world and only lost matches to Tiger and TYLOO. With a 1.19 rating, Kaze has been a standout player for Vici Gaming. Along with aumaN and zhokiNg, the trio have helped Vici Gaming emerge as a strong opponent in the Chinese CS:GO scene.

Lucid Dream recently let go of their team mid-way through the Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020. The Thailand team has a lot of local experience but pales compared to some of the bigger names in the Asian CS:GO scene. With no organizational backup, it is highly improbable that the team can upset a much higher ranked Vici Gaming in this match. Lucid Dream is ranked 113th in the HLTV rankings.

Pick: Vici Gaming Handicap -1.5 Maps (-226 @ Pinnacle)

I am taking Vici Gaming to dominate Lucid Dreams. Vici Gaming has been in excellent form, while Lucid Dreams is still struggling to compete against top tier opponents. They will have no trouble with Lucid Dream in this series.
