Match forudsigelse: Vendetta - timbermen | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Vendetta and timbermen will face each other in the open qualifier semi-finals at ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022 North America. The teams are more or less equal in terms of strength, and experts from bookmakers had difficulty deciding on the favorite of the meeting. The Timbermen, in their opinion, look like a team that has more chances to win here, and I will say right away that I agree with this.

The coefficient on their triumph is 1.75, which equates to a 53% chance of winning. Such an ambiguous situation requires a detailed consideration of the game form of the participants of the meeting, not in order to understand which alternative market is worth betting on, but in order to understand whether timbermen is really called the favorite of the meeting in this case.

Vendetta Game Uniform

The Vendetta roster consists of players who lack solid experience in playing matches on the professional scene. The roster itself is currently in 122nd place. The team showed a good performance in the ongoing open qualifying round for ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022 North America.

The team won the fight against Infinity in the first round and beat EG.CD in the quarterfinals, which, by the way, is interesting in itself, since EG is a rather high-profile American tag, under which the famous RUSH and stanislaw perform.

Previously, the team tried three times to qualify for IEM Road to Rio 2022 North America through open qualifiers and never managed to reach their goal, all the time suffering defeat in the first and second rounds of qualifiers. The team failed to beat TeamOne, BHOP and Gaimin Gladiators in the qualifiers, but defeated Victorium and Brazen in other matches.

Based on what you can see during the last performances, Vendetta is essentially a one-card team. They play best on Nuke and have never lost in 3 matches. They also have a 100% win rate on Overpass, but they only played there once. On Mirage, they have a 50% win rate for 2 played times, but with Dust 2, Inferno and Ancient, they better not have to deal with, since they did not manage to win on any map. And they played there only 1-2 times. Vertigo Vendetta hasn't been played at all and gets banned if possible.

In September Vendetta took part in 4 official matches.

game form timbermen

Droid and his comrades from the timbermen, who are ranked 81st by HLTV, have been showing mixed results in the professional CS:GO scene lately. Nevertheless, as part of the current open qualifier for ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022 North America, the team is showing a good performance. In the first round, the team won the fight against MENTE DO ViLAO with a score of 16-6, after which they defeated Heroic (not the same Heroic from Denmark) with a score of 16-9. Both meetings were easy for the team and there is every reason to believe that this meeting will not be too difficult for them.

Like Vendetta, timbermen unsuccessfully tried to qualify for IEM Road to Rio 2022 North America through open qualifiers and never made it. Unlike Vendetta, the roster made 2 attempts, not 3, which can be important.

So if the team is almost no different from Vendetta and has recently performed with similar performance, then why do experts from bookmakers consider timbermen to be the favorite of the meeting? Just because of their position in the rankings? The answer to this question is given by the statistics of the team's performances on various maps.

The top two maps for timbermen were Inferno and Mirage with 75% and 70% win rates respectively. There they played 4 and 10 times respectively. If Vendetta bans Inferno, then timbermen will still have Mirage where their opponents can play. If this map gets banned by Vendetta, then the representatives of the timbermen have something to show on other maps, Overpass, Nuke and Vertigo. Droid and company perform there with a performance of 66.7%, 66.7% and 60% with 6, 3 and 5 maps played, respectively, which is quite good.

Ancient timbermen are as disliked as Vendetta, and the team doesn't play Dust 2 at all.

Conclusion

Given the position of the teams in the world ranking, which was compiled by HLTV, as well as the approach of the teams to the choice of maps and the format of the match (Bo1), the confidence that timbermen will come out victorious in this confrontation is growing stronger. In this scenario, we will not need any alternative markets, and for a good profit, the regular “Team Victory” market will suffice. In this case, timbermen's triumph has a factor of 1.75, which is more than enough.

Final bet: Timbermen win with odds 1.75
