Byali leads AVEZ as they head into the second round of the Nine To Five #2 tournament. With a 1.16 rating, KEi is the best player on the team and has a 86.7 rating. AVEZ’s map pool includes almost the entire lineup except Dust2 and Mirage. The team has mastered CT heavy maps, but their weak maps include AWP-heavy maps like the two mentioned above.

BIG Academy is a relatively inexperienced CS:GO roster. The team is ranked 110th and most its matches are against significantly weaker opponents. WIth an 80% win-rate on Overpass, the team uses quick rotations and movement to help secure an advantage over its opponents.

Pick: AVEZ Handicap -1.5 Maps (-115 @ Pinnacle)

The 53rd ranked AVEZ has a huge advantage over BIG Academy. Its players have more experience and a higher skill ceiling compared to the German roster. I am taking AVEZ to win this match.
