Ambush Preview

Ambush features a Danish CS:GO roster and is ranked 80th in the HLTV rankings. The young roster recently won against TheDice and FATE. However, they have also lost matches to FATE, Illuminar, and AGF in their recent matches. Ambush has a decent map pool and is extremely comfortable playing on Overpass, Train, and Vertigo. While the team has experience playing on Vertigo, Nuke, and Dust2, their win-rate on these maps is extremely low.

Ryxxo is the star player on the team and has a 1.21 rating. Although they play against lower-tier teams Ryxxo has been instrumental to the team’s success. He has an 80.9 damage per round and has a huge impact on the team’s overall performance.

Tricked Preview\r\n

Ambush will face off against Tricked in their upcoming match. Tricked also has a Danish roster and is ranked just one place behind Ambush at the 80th place. Tricked has not been very active in recent times. The team only has a few matches on Inferno and Train. These maps are some of the strongest maps for the team, but the team has a low win-rate on these maps.

Tricked has been in good form recently. The team won against Sangal and CR4ZY but lost to well-established rosters of HellRaisers and Hard Legion. Kwezz has a 1.15 rating and continues to deliver strong individual performances for the team. With 86.3 damage per round, Kwezz’s impact on the team’s performance is unmatched. Tricked has put up consistent performances, even against stronger opponents. The two teams have never faced each other and this will be their first head-to-head match.

Pick: Tricked ML (-122 @ Pinnacle)

Despite the two teams being ranked so close to each other, Tricked has played against better-ranked opponents. The Danish squad has managed to secure maps off HellRaisers and Hard Legion, although their poor map pool puts them at a disadvantage consistently. I am taking Tricked to win this match, although there is a high possibility of the series going the distance of over 2. 5 maps.
